Finally noticed a made in a foreign country tag. I called them and asked and they actually claimed that their USA factory was slipping in quality, so they went to an out of country vendor to increase quality. Bwahahahahaha!

So I then asked "so is the current Navy Officer jacket now also made in the same foreign country?" Um, well, no, its still made in the USA. "Oh, so it is also the same clearly lower quality as the one I currently have, or worse, because USA can't make them right anymore?" Crickets.

Not sure about quality or where its made today and don't care, won't buy another one.


The Navy stuff is mandated to be made in the USA. They have no choice if they still have any official affiliation with the military. The Air Force A-2 jackets for a while were made with really terrible goatskin because it had to come from the US and apparently US goatskin is no bueno.
