I have been boycotting Levi's since they moved to Mexico. I have been buying Second-hand clothing, as much as possible, for over 10 years.
Even if the label says "made in America," it can be misleading, because it can be "pieced" together here and the label can say it.
China and India use slave and child labor.
American textile manufacturing has all but shut down.
All that's left in the South is Walmart.

Well, if you are willing to pay higher prices, then do so. Its like boycotting Walmart. Walmart 'outsources' most of its goods on the shelf from other countries.
If you like Walmart, then it would be tough for you to boycott outsourcing companies.

We should these companies outsource to third world countries where the institute child slave labor. But it's hard to find companies that are 100% American, most companies are money-hungry leeches, that's why they relocate out of the country to avoid taxes and decent living wages.

To keep jobs in the USA, yes. BUT there will be consequences, like higher prices...but I think the real broohaha will be the fact that the big wigs will now only make $100mil a year as opposed to $400mil.

Some are so well insulated from a boycott, it just may not work

Sure, if you want higher prices. Granted, doing so might get some changes that might offset that, but that would take years, could take decades.
