Britain recently banned a whole heap of things made in China, notably underwear.... many shops were forecasting that they would go out of business because they were not able to buy in the cheap Chinese products and sell it on.

I too, am spending less on clothes. I seem to have everything in my wardrobe that I need (and many more I don't), and if I need trousers, I make them. Somehow, they don't seem to make trousers in my shape.
