Hmmm. I guess that's the most obvious answer. I was wondering if it had to do w/ a large expat community back in the day or maybe clothing drives. I grew up in South America where poverty is basically everywhere - so for like 30 years there have been mass clothing drives from the US, and to this day ...

Serious question - I am looking for some kind of legitimate explanation for why there is so much vintage Americana coming out of Malaysia. I know they've been bitten by the vintage bug, but you'd think if it was all destined to satisfy for their national demand, we wouldn't see such pristine ...

Who am I kidding - its never going to have the nice feel of a screen print, etc :cry: I guess I'll just have to just pass it along. Thanks for the advice anyhow.
