Exactly. I figure that when I buy made in Taiwan stuff, money goes to an anti-communist country.

Designed in the US and made in taiwan. Good gear though. Mine has been bulletproof and made in taiwan is not made in china. quality is much better.

Its because no one Manufactures anything here I remember back in the '80's people were worried about how the US was going to become a purely 'consumer and service economy'. I always wondered how consumers and services would survive without, ya know...domestic made products to give the consumers jobs to earn money to buy the services with. I mean...I learned that shit in SimCity and high school economics. Well...we're just about there.... (Love my Fatboy though! Have a wallet on the way, too.)

Posted: 3/19/2010 11:43:59 PM Yippee, I went out yesterday and bought myself another pair of Minnetonka Moccasins [moosehide], they have always been made in the US in the past, this pair, made in the Dom Repub. Sad when even the Indians offshore. Will be the last time I buy them even though I do love wearing them. And no, the price didn't drop one dime even though the cost of making them probably is 1/4 as much as it used to be.

You are wrong Eagle is made in St Louis MO and Puerto Rico (US Territory). I spoke with John Carver about this in regards to he had to find more sewers...and had to be able to compete with BlackHawk and their made in Viet Nam crap. Eagle is USA made. John is a class act. Same cannot be said about Blackhawk or those moving production to China such as Maxpedition
