Seems the shell we have to wear &(need to!), has very little to do with made in America. All the big outfits selling clothing have went overseas. Seems as they didnt reduce their prices though. Profit is not a dirty word, although when it comes to the detriment of our country I DO HAVE A ISSUE.

I have worked in retail sporting goods most of my whole life.

    So this thread is to ask what clothing lines are you purchasing MADE IN AMERICA. Because I refuse to funnel anymore moneys to mostly hostiles for the clothes on my back.

    So what are you buying for hunting clothing made in AMERICA?

As a dealer for Day One Camouflage, these American made products are all Quality.

Thanks Joe, I know there is still some great stuff made here. But I have not been able to keep track of our American made clothing. I will look at there line. I will send ya a PM if I can't find them on the web. And better yet send ya a order.

I've been buying all of my hunting clothes from the GoodWill store. I may not be able to control where it was made.....

But when I buy it,MY money goes into American Hands.

Not sure if they still make camo but Clarkfield used to Mfg here in MN the Sticks 'N Limbs.

Lots of Pendleton from the thrift stores.

Dayone and Gray Wolf woolens. I currently have no Dayone......it shrunk! O.K. I might have gotten a little bigger....o.k. alot bigger! My Gray Wolf in wolfskin and woll is to notch stuff. Mike

Chuck its funny you say that, because I just had that revaluation this weekend. I'm a little slow sometimes! Its dang hard to buy anything not made in CHINA ANYWHERE of any thing. So going to Goodwill and I was in one this weekend at least supports our country. And not a dime goes to them again. And I also have found some really nice old goodies in them!

I have other hunting clothes, but just about all I wear anymore is Gray Wolf.  Wolfskin when it's warm, and woolens when the temps dip in the fall.
Great quality, and hand made right here in Wisconsin!

Mr. hormoan,

It's a two-edged sword my friend.  Many here who are trying to make a living, require those imports to fuel the economy and their very livelihood.  This didn't happen lately....it started in the 1950's predominately and grows exponentially every year.  The consumer demands for goods at lower prices creates imports, and only consumer demands will change it.  I also buy most of my things from Goodwill Stores.

I agree with you George, although its way beyond time,its a ONE EDGED SWORD. In the well being with America I will not sharpen my sword with another. There is no one else looking out for you or me. Except me and you.

So what American made hunting clothing are you buying?

HORMOAN I CAN RELATE.I WENT TO CABELAS FOR SOME BOOTS ALMOST ALL OF THEM SAID MADE IN CHINA.I'M STILL LOOKEN.I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU LOOKEN OUT FOR THE USA.THANKS JAMES  

I bought the some of the last Danners made in America couple pair actually. I have a couple decades plus before I need boots. Hope I outlive them! I wonder if anyone will be hunting items made in china, Down the road    in any future.

Wolverines made in Michigan, boots that is. Thanks James!! Keep looking out for us!

Filson - Even the wool they use is local.  If you are ever in Seattle go to their store and watch them make cloths.

Hey Brent,

It's warm enough in Arizona all you need is enough deer skin to make a loin cloth! I'm sure someone on here got some they will send you.  

There are way too many issues to discuss about China than are appropriate here on the TG.  However, take heart, recently China has imposed new environmental and labor laws that will even the playing field a bit.  Not enough to move textiles back here but at least enough to keep some other stuff from moving.  In the past 12 months, China has actually begun exporting inflation vs. the deflation they have exported in the past.  This is bad news for the consumer in the short term but may be good news for the worker in the long term.  Unfortunately, the worker is the consumer.  Talk about double edged sword.

Now, India...that's another story.

Mr. Stinson, please send some moose hide, I'll need some cactus\\rattlesnake deflectors also  

I am having a pair of Russell Moccassain boots made, should be here next week, handmade in America.  Also just purchased a Pendleton wool cruiser in black and red plaid.  I have worn government issue camo or Wolfskin predator for the past 12 years.  I must have had a brain infarctlet last month when I bought some Sitka gear pants and t-shirt.  Must not have been thinking about the country of orgin at the time.

day one and gray wolf clothes is mostly what i am wearing now days
