Major suck! I received my new Verde pants and didn't even think about checking the tag, but after reading his blog post I did check it... and yep, it says Made in China. Pisses me off that they were already shipped before he even lets us know.

Fits perfectly...competitors like Sitka are made in China!

Seems like nothing is made in the USA now. What happened to this country??

Re: KUIU Manufacturing Going To China

The supply chain / manufacturing happened long before it was officially announced. I can see Kuiu being sold, just like Sitka. I am not sure of the materials now used in Kuiu with their new supply chain.

There are few true manufactured in the US outer wear companies. Why I use and recommend WildThings. Things may have changed, but last time I had business contact, you called Maria / Titoune and she was in shop stitching. They grew and added seamstress, not going off shore.
