Like most companies Red wing boots have lines of products made overseas it is nice however that you can search the boot lines that are made in the US or assembled in the US on their website.
Also ^ IIRC Benchmade lower lines knives are made overseas

Just left Home Depot and the few HDX tools I walked by were china made. There are some US made ones though I have at least one. When I go to lowes, homo depot etc for a small tool I can usually find one american made one among the sea of Chinese ones for the same price or maybe a buck or two more. |

Most of Carhartts are made outside of the States and I wanna say its a recent trend The Carhartt shirts I bought last year were all Hecho in Mexico. I haven't seen as many Danner or New Balance shoes that are still made in USA. Oddly enough Walmart of all places has more USA products than you would think. Craft paints, hose reels & hangers, spatula's etc are a few things I've bought lately. Quoted:
