...The Americans used to be very bad for this, with their proud "Made in the USA" and i believe legislation now forces them to say "Assembled in " or "Finished in the USA"...

Probably about the best I can do as I think the Geeves shirts I wear are probably Turkey.
I have now managed to get most of my clothing to be made in the UK. I have reversed 25 years of off shoring.
My knitwear is Pringle, John Smedley, Hawick and Houghton. My shirts are Smyth and Gibson, Grosvenor and Cleeve of London. My shoes are Loake 1880, Barker Handcrafted and Joseph Cheaney. My boxers are from British Boxers, my pj's are mostly Bonsoir. Just need to get my cords and chinos from Cordings or the various Yorkshire factories, and some Sunspel or Smedley t-shirts.
My favourite shirts are made in Great Yarmouth by Yarmo, as are the "slops" I wore when in the fishing industry, and the workman's trousers, which alas! now have a zip fly and not buttons, as once they did. I buy hats and caps from London hatters, English boots and shoes, including UK-made DMs, knitwear machine-made in Leicester and hand-knitted in Yorkshire, leather goods from Aero in Scotland, Eastman and others in England. Plus a few bits and pieces from UK sources.The ready to wear shirtmakers in the UK are:
Smyth and Gibson
Turnbull and Asser
Emma Willis
Budd/Webster Brothers
Cleave of London/Drakes
Margaret Howell
Whitehart
Paul Brown
