how its made

I love the Discovery channel show "how its made." As it is so cool to see how things are put together from conception to manufacture eventually making it to retail. On the theme of "how its made" Mike West, who owns 686 outerwear has a killer little blog and recently wrote about his last trip to China, where he breaks down "how 686 outerwear is made." its a great read for anyone who digs the whole manufacturing process, and also how business works with overseas factories. Unfortunatley, I can't link it direct to the story, but click here and scroll down to the Q & C
