I've been doing this for decades. It can get dicey and you end up buying a lot of old clothes on Ebay.
Some tips. Chippewa, RedWing, Thorogood, Weinbrenner still make shoes in USA. Wigwam and FoxRiver still make socks here.
Most DeWalt tools are made in Taiwan. Bosch and Makita make tools in Europe and Japan and USA.
There is a growing movement of independent artisans making goods.
I think India will become the new low cost provider of stuff if people just refuse to buy Chinese.
Most stuff that really matters isn't made in Chyna because stuff that really matters can't be crap. Cars and most car parts are not made in China. Motor oil. Most food. Don't buy that Chinese farm raised salmon whatever you do.
I don't have a beef with Hungary who supposed has violated free expression of trans black females or something. My wife bought a Braun foodprocessor made in Hungary. Very nice.

Made in Vietnam seems to be popping up alot now too. Alot of my new hats and shirts are from Vietnam.
I think a lot of it is bypassing trump's efforts.
I'm pretty ok with goods from everywhere else. India is really picking up slack.
I mean I even refuse Chinese made electronics. I have a Korean phone and a Rasberry pi made in Whales.
Yeah, I don't mind stuff from other countries, as long as we can block out all the communists and human rights violators.

Case in point, the Chinese factories that sprung up in Italy, complete with Chinese workers, so everything could say "Made in Italy"
Then they blamed those workers for the Kung Pao Sicken outbreak there
I'm aware of this in the leather industry. Still better than actual Chyna.
Now I want raspberry pie.
Yes! Please, for your families health, avoid all food products from communist China!
Darn Tough socks are my go to usually. They're well made.
