Welcome to Week 3, Day 21 of My Dad vs. The Algorithm. Today we are talking about The Recipe. We see a lot of brands claiming "Made in USA" because they have a sewing room in downtown Los Angeles.

They had used a fine 1x1 Rib on a heavy sweatshirt. Ira’s Reaction: "You sent a boy to do a man's job. You used a T-shirt rib on a Hoodie. A 1x1
