Not that this is an argument for or against the sweatshirt, but (just to add a little fuel to your fire) it's actually $90. This article was published a year ago. It makes one wonder if they have raised the price because they're selling so well, or if they can't produce them at $80.
My original post is sort of misleading, I wasn't really talking about the made in America product that humanodon posted -- that's marketed upscale, and I understand that, and have no problem with it. Wouldn't and couldn't buy it, but whatever. I was incensed, however, about the Gap hoodie that's apparently fifty bucks, because Gap markets to lower middle class in my opinion, and probably fools a good number of them into thinking that they're the most economical option. That's terrible.
