Folks, I stumbled on this web site: Clothing Made in America by All USA Clothing, I thought it would be of interest to the members of HDTimeline.

Interesting site. I looked through the list of manufacturers and saw Redwing. I have two pairs of RW, both made in china, so I clicked on RW and lo and behold, ONE product, a belt is USA made. I noticed Chippewa wasn't listed, I went to Chippewa's website and looked up my engineer boot, "handcrafted in the USA" is thier claim. HMMM, I went to the closet and pulled the Chippewas' out and looked inside,,, oh nooo MADE IN CHINA, I've been had!
I think I'll tag the made in the USA website for future reference.

A year or so ago, I was looking to replace my old RedWings & at the local store they had only boots made in China. I emailed customer service & asked for a list of USA made boots & got a pretty long list back. After checking between the list & their website I found a pair that looked good & went to the store & ordered. sometimes you gotta go the extra mile to get what you want.

I thought about that right after I posted. I sent an inquiry to Chippewa.com asking them to clarify.
Some people have a preference to purchase stuff made in the USA. If you are wearing a running, cross training, or baseketball shoe (for non-riding activites), how many are wearing Nikes?
Most of these shoes are made overseas. New Balance still makes most of their shoes in the States. But just like Red Wing, you have to be carefully which models you buy. Some are made overseas.
It's interesting just how much time some folks spend looking for riding gear that's made in the U.S.. While the country of the other items they use or wear makes no difference to them.
