In fact, if you read the site carefully, some fabrics clearly state they are printed overseas. The reality is that the fabric probably was not woven in the US, nor printed in the U.S. Does someone have other information that shows otherwise? I can't find anywhere on the site that it says the fabric actually is made in the U.S.
I try to be green, even when it is inconvenient, and I know that this is only one of millions of manufactured items, but how anti earth friendly to ship all the raw materialsacross the world only to ship back the finished goods.....
