, which I ultimately purchased. In the process I found a couple of guides the Secret Service agents must’ve used or written:
Men’s Guide to Colombia 2010

The Where Am I Wearing? 2nd edition is out! Now with 38.4% more words! 
It was a pretty major update. All of the old material is still there, but there are also about 25,000 new words.
Here’s where to buy Where Am I Wearing?
I always felt that the book was incomplete. I went to Honduras, met a garment worker named Amilcar who I chatted with for 10 minutes, I didn’t ask him the questions I wanted to know (dude, is this a sweatshop?), I went home and was haunted by Amilcar, so I went to Bangladesh, Cambodia, and China to meet the people who made my clothes and ask them the questions I didn’t…
