    Made In USA?

    I see that modern day sweat shop. Workers should get paid the same as the local workers. I heard that some foreign work forces are in fact N. Koreans. N. Koreans are sending more and more workers all over the world.

    What was your first leather jacket?

    Probably made in Korea? Those are nice. You can get them still at a nice price. If you can not find the jacket with the eagle, you can always get the eagle and sew on your self. Easy as a duck walk.
