I love them! Great styles in my opinion.

While I am thrilled they are being made in the USA, as for the design, I invoke the Thumper rule: "If you can't say nuthin' nice, don't say nuthin' at all." zzzzziiip.

They are supposed to resemble our nice warm heavy sweaters. I am very proud of the clothes for the Olympics that were designed and also because it is a patchwork design - symbol of a great American tradition - Quilting. GO USA

You're not the only one. I think if they look like ugly Christmas sweaters. I read somewhere that that's what we get for having all our tacky sweater parties.

I saw the program and thought it wonderful that they were based on patchwork quilts. I have told my family "I want one" so hopefully by next Christmas they will be in the stores. All made in USA!

I like the clothing--so much perkier than the drab military looking ones and being made in the US is an additional bonus.
