Export Shop

Long ago I realized that a size 32 waist pair of jeans bought in Thailand is a far cry from a size 32 waist jean sold in the US. The Thai cut is different, tighter at the thigh, crotch, waist.
So, on trips to the US, one of the few remaining (about the only) shopping item I have remaining is a few pairs of jeans.
Briefs were on my shopping list until a few years ago.....on an excursion to the Export Shop, I found high quality Costco (Kirtland) brand briefs....the real deal at a good price. They weren't seconds, as far as I could tell. And recently, I found higher quality Haynes and Reebock briefs in the Export Shop. Interesting (to me)......the Reebock briefs were made in Laos.
In the early days of the Export Shop in Udon, many of the products were clearly seconds. Today, if they're seconds, it's hard for me to tell. The fit and quality is as good as anything I've bought in the US.
