Just a thought. I am tired of everything I buy is made in China. I mean every top camo clothing I own (Sitka) Made in China, is there a good camo co. That is made In the USA? I don't if it's the current state of affairs but I am ready spend my money on America. Everyone out there stay safe, better days are coming.

American camo, WWII USMC green/brown reversible. That's what I started with back in the fifties. Liked it then, still do. I know there are more effective patterns available and I have used many of them. Still feel most comfortable in the old stuff.

We got a 1200 dollar check coming soon to help stimulate the economy. Seems fitting to buy American with it and really help the economy. I been thinking 1 last new custom bow and a nice set of woodys.

I don't wear new-fangeldy camo at all!!! it is unnecessary. I wear plaids and wools, and most times khaki cargo pants. I kill just as many critters as anybody else. American made plaids and wool shirts are easy to find. Vintage woolrich and Pendleton, Johnson Mills- all made right here at home. God Bless the USA.

Back (mumble) years ago I had an *ugly* camo jacket that was surplus from Italy. And I saw just as many deer wearing that as I did in my then-new Trebark (tm) camo jacket or the Realtree jacket that followed.
Do a search for 'used surplus camouflage clothing' and see what comes up. And don't over-think 'patterns' - they ALL work - as long as you don't move too much! ;-)

The problem is not companies in China deciding to compete with Canadian and US brands.
It was the owners and shareholders of those Canada and US firms outsourcing their production to Asia. Columbia, Eddie Bauer, Pendleton,Sitka, LL Bean.
Don't blame the Asian workers that sew the stuff. Blame the US companies that hire them.
And Pearl Drums is correct. American made goods will cost much more because labour is more expensive. It is a price you need to be willing to pay in the future if you want goods not made in Asia.
Right now I don't see that people are willing to do this, given Walmart's success.
But if manufacturing returns to North America it should provide good wages to workers here, which makes it easier for folks to buy domestically.
The Codet pants made in Canada are well made and not overly expensive so there are still choices.
I am always Buy Canadian first eh!!

Define camo. Last commercial camo I bought was in the mid 1990s, and it was on clearance at Walmart. You buy into high- priced brand names then you will pay high prices no matter where it's made. Camo can be a gray sweatshirt and jeans. The best camo is learning to be still. Some of you really need to understand how a world economy works though.

For good American stuff there are some options. Day one camo, Grey Wolf Woolens and Asbell wool. King of the Mountain is another one and I'm sure there are others. I was thinking of moving some of my hunting clothing and buying USA stuff after all this mess. Plus I'm not all the impressed with the high end mountain hunting stuff for an eastern hunter, i think wool is probably a better choice even if its not the cool thing right now.

For pants I wear military BDU's I get at yard sales. For tops I where most any fleece and more for the quiet than anything else.
If you get on the buy America band wagon and don't have a job. When you go job hunting you will WALK down the street naked and that is only if you get up because your clock is made in China.

This was in 87, I`m still wearing the same stuff. I did replace the pants once, just cause they got washed more than the jacket and faded some, but I still have them for backup. Pretty sure it has that same tag posted above, but its all packed up right now.

LOL A few years back I updated my camo wardrobe thru Cabela's. One of the high definitioin patterens I really like is called Konifer, fir boughs, pine cones, foliage I hunt in. Pants, shirt, hat, jacket, tshirt long sleave & short were all made in a different 3rd world country and none of them match in color, from bright greens to dull greens.

I buy vintage wool shirts and coats. I am sure that woolrich was made in USA back then. Wrangler cargo khakis from wal Mart???? I don’t know......
Too much preaching on the subject would make me look like a hypocrite. I drive a Tacoma, it’s a bulldog that won’t tear up! But I also own an F-150.
There is a great website for old wool stuff. RUSTYZIPPER.com I have bought many things from them.
I think after this virus dies down we should all think about where we send our hard earned dollars. Think about this fellas- we all hate to see our favorite archery/ hunting/ whatever stores go under - guess what?????? If we’d done more business with them they might not have folded. We need to look after our own.

I went from 60s woodland to VN tiger stripes to USGI in woodland. Never a stop inbetween. Also a bunch of wool plaids, mix and match.
We got stopped this year by the DNR duck hunting and I was wearing my old 1983 brown camo and Jones style hat and she said "Man, I haven't seen a lot of this around lately or that hat. My younger crew burst out laughing.

Get ready to pay more for made in America, the reason goods are coming in from China is because American companies have shifted production there because wages and production costs are a fraction of production in the US. So who do you bad mouth in these situations, China,or Mexico, or the American companies that sold out U.S. labor and production for higher profits and cheap labor abroad?
You can stick to Mom & Pop operations in the U.S. and plan on paying more and force the big production companies out of foreign countries back into U.S. production or take the cut and spend your dollar abroad and save a little.
How most people spend their money over the long haul can make a difference if it means that much to them, unfortunately most won't.
