Shirt of Mongolia
I was getting ready to put one of my Christmas gifts (a long sleeve shirt by VanHeusen) into the wash, when I saw the tag.... "Made in Mongolia". Hmmm. Hadn't seen that before. I have seen clothing made in the US, China, Mexico, other various and sundry Asian and Latin American places, even Madagascar. Mongolia? Nope.
Looked at the company website, and sure enough - a "source" dot in Mongolia.
My only experience with Mongolia (besides the shirt, that is) was the team of Mongolian Army soldiers that were at Bagram AF to help the Afghans with demining and training on artillery. I suppose if any country has a long time military tradition, it would be Mongolia, heh heh.
An interesting place, if you care to learn a bit about it, start with this.

Fantastic shirts and fantastic food; it's high time they got some credit!
B. D. Mongolian BBQ! I was just talking about that place!
Cool music too:
...And he
had a job
and he
wore a shirt
and he
brought home the bacon so that
no one knew...
Ghengis would say "Have you built a pyramid out of human skulls in Kabul yet?"
Chinggis Khaan would probably say something like "Yeah, been here before guys" c.f. the Hazara.
As for B.D.'s - this place is the biggest scam around - they set up shop in UB just so they could get some street cred - please don't believe the hype. This is not Mongolian food.
