are there any well made workout clothes or athletic gear out there?
I'm talking about stuff you'd wear to the gym to lift weights / do cardio, not outdoorsy type stuff you'd find in rei.
by well made I mean made in a first world country, but more just not made in the third world. Needs to stand up to heavy wear and washing, quality material and construction. Shorts, pants, short and long sleeve tops.
willing to pay, but when nike, underarmour sell their made in vietnam wares for 50 to 100 usd, I just shake my head.

I have no clue what would be made domestically, but:
- Champion's C9 line is actually surprisingly good for the price. I have some stuff from there that's fairly solid.
- Nike and UnderArmor are always decent when on sale, but I understand your concern regarding their price at retail.
- I can't recommend most Adidas stuff, to be honest - here in the U.S., there's way too much cheap crap from the brand.
To be honest, I've never been very picky about what I wear to the gym. Technical fabrics are a bad idea for lifting, so I just wear cotton wife beaters and gym shorts or some equivalent.
