Timberland Men's Jacket

The Timberland Company is famous for footwear but they also make various outdoor clothing. I bought this jacket in Bangladesh several years back but never posted the picture. This jacket is rather light and good for spring or fall weather in western hemisphere and ideal for Bangladesh winter. I have worn this for several years now and this is still in a very good shape so I have to say that these are well made.

Nagordola Boy's Red & Gold Panjabi Set

I know this is not Pohela Boishakh but this vibrant red and gold Panjabi set would be perfect for such occasion. Nagordola is yet another boutique brand of Bangladesh and have been around for many years. The red Panjabi has matching gold payjama and orna to go with it. Even the collars have matching gold trims. If you visit Bangladesh, you can find Nagordola outlets all over the country in major cities.

Mayasir Boy's Checkered/Plaid Panjabi

I am surprised that I never posted anything here for Mayasir brand even though I have been a big fan of their clothing and long-time customer. Mayasir is another boutique brand of Bangladesh and you can find retail outlets all over Bangladesh. They are very selective about their fabric and my fussy kids always found their clothing to be very comfortable. I also like their elegant and tasteful designs and of course well-made clothing.

This item is a plaid yellow panjabi for boys. Very handsome looking and comfortable, plaid makes it even more fashionable since that's very much in style now.

You can find Mayasir in facebook also.

These are 100% cotton and very comfortable.

This is a powder blue men's collared t-shirt that looks really classy. 

OshKosh B'Gosh Girl's Top

This a denim top for girls by OshKosh B'Gosh. Very fine and comfortable and held up after many washing. It is amazing to see how many denim items at retail are made in Bangladesh these days. I remember my childhood in Bangladesh in the 1980s and how difficult it was to Jeans. When my father went overseas, my list to him always included a nice pair of Jeans. Now in 2017, Bangladesh is the #1 supplier of denim to EU market and #3 supplier to the US market after China and Mexico. This is great leap for Bangladesh and will continue to grow as the global denim market is expected to grow another 8% by 2020.

You may not have heard Berne Apprel's name but they sure do have a history. The Berne Overall & Shirt Company was founded in the small Indiana community of Berne, Indiana way back in 1915. It was founded to provide mid-western farming community work clothing at an affordable price, They are still around and I ran into this at a Farm & Fleet retail store recently. It's amazing to see some many brands (be it global or local) get their quality garments from Bangladesh. 

This is a kid's winter warm winter jacket in pink. Comfortable yet very sturdy fabric that will last and can be passed down to several kids,

This went viral in the web when Bangladesh's state minister of foreign affirs took the pictures and posted on his Facebook page. This a awesome news and I am happy to see a big brand's confidence in fine Bangladeshi manufacturing. I hope to see more news, Twitter and Facebook posts like this one.

This also made to news in major news media in Bangladesh. I will try to make a trip to a Hugo Boss store and check this out for myself and feel good about it :)

H&M Men's Leather Dress Shoes

Very trendy H&M Men's black leather dress shoes at the H&M stores. Leather industry in Bangladesh is fast growing and hopefully we will see more exports like this for other brands. Total export of leather shoes was roughly 120 million US$ in 2016 which is a very small fraction as compared textile but has a great potential. I will be sure to keep my eyes open to find more shoes made in Bangladesh all over the world.

The color is really nice on this jacket and it is very well made.

As you all know Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States last week. "Make America Great Again" has been his campaign slogan and with that came a slew of products with that phrase from t-shits, to hats to mugs and the list goes on. Albeit, most if not all of these were not actually made in America, they had the slogan imprinted on them. I didn't actually get my hands on one of these products but I just ran into one in social media that's made in Bangladesh.
