I'm absolutely in the camp who will pay more for stuff that's well made in good working conditions, ideally local, and that will last. But those are often the ONLY option I have. When it isn't though, I'll always go for that, even if the cost is 2x or 3x. My backpack for example was 200 bucks (and it's small), made in Seattle by a mom and pop shop and is made by the owners. It's also essentially indestructible, and the fabric, zippers, etc are also made here in fair working conditions.

But I assume I can't say the same of a lot of the clothes I wear or the components in my computer. If I had more choice, I would do the same there though.
