Imported stuff better than local made ?

I bought this shirt from S`pore some time ago mainly coz the label read `Fabric from USA`. Now when I look at it, the fabric looks more like kain guni beras or gunny sack material. E. I`ve worn the shirt less than 5 times in 2 years coz it wrinkles up very easily & is difficult to iron. Nowadays I go for whatever stuff as long as it`s got quality but I still have a soft spot for things from my alleged motherland...UK. heh heh. I also like `Fruit of Loom` t-shirts from USA which my cousins send over to KL every now & then. Love the cotton coz it`s the breathable type & the tshirts are also seamless....
