All the down coats these days are either made by desperate little girls in Communist China or some other equally repressive situation.
SOME of the Carhartt stuff is still made by honestly paid U.S.laborers, but I see now that all their flannel shirt manufacturing is coming out of Mehecho.
I scoured the Cabella's catalogs for over 2yrs and couldn't find a single U.S.A.Made winter coat. After berating the GREEDY Cabella Brothers repeatedly on their CS line for not carrying USA Made products anymore, I finally settled on a Windstopper Fleece jacket (and pants) Made in Canada.
An excellent product, at a reasonable price. Who says clothing manufacturers can't produce a quality product, at competitive prices, with honestly paid labor, right here in the 'good ol USA' and/or by our increasingly-socialist neighbors to the north.
Just ask Gramicci, or the Canadian manufacturers how to do it.
Perhaps by settling for the approx profit margins CEO's found quite livable back in the '50's + '60's + '70's, before total GREED became the rule rather than the exception.
