Nope, not me.  It was a suggestion  for OP.

 

If you mentioned Intel, I take it you are in Chandler?  I thank my lucky stars the wind mostly comes from the west up here on my hill in the boonies.  Hillsboro/Aloha is crawling with fabs/offices and their tax breaks.  And still building.   Really affects traffic.

Then you might as well say it's everything-not just clothes. If it says made in China, that's good enough for me. I won't buy it.

I just recently purchased an item from Zulily because it was marked "made in Switzerland".  WRONG   When I received it it was from China!   I could not return it but wrote a full review noting the misrepresentation.
