I have a few of the half-canvas suits that LE used to have made in Canada (by Samuelsohn, maybe?) and I think they were (and are) quite good suits for the money.
Likewise an LE that I got in an E. Thomas Super 130s dark gray with a subtle blue rope stripe--it was made in Portugal, and also has served well in my suit wardrobe.
I have been sorry to see recently that LE has started having ties made in China (they used to source nearly all their ties from right here in the States, TTBOMK), but I guess that was bound to happen sooner or later. Even ubertrad shopping mecca J. Press had some made-in-the-Middle-Kingdom ties in their shops this past summer. The Brothers are a real throwback in this regard, as they make all their mainline-store ties on Long Island.
