Yeah I just got a very similar response. I asked for a refund. Let's see what happens.I emailed them too. They are dancing around the issue on WHO made it and if the tannery is American. They can say that it's 100% US made.
However, they did confirm that it's not Schott nor Hillside. So there is that. Fox creek?
Edit: what's wrong with hillside btw? Just not worth the price? I checked hillside's D pocket's size chart. Does not seem to track.
Edit: Edit: They also mentioned that if I don't ride motorcycles that it may not be for me. Funny how you're going to deter customers? Luckily I do ride motorcycles. But yeah if you don't ride cancel your order /s *rolls eyes*
For you query on Hillside, this will tell you all you need to know:I emailed them too. They are dancing around the issue on WHO made it and if the tannery is American. They can say that it's 100% US made.

They confirmed with me it was not Hillside manufacturing. They advised me they would forward my refund request to the owner for processing. Hopefully I get it! And so ends a long, stupid journey for me.For you query on Hillside, this will tell you all you need to know:

Ghastly looking d pocket made of what looks like printed plastic HH.
Hillside USA is in Florida, if I remember correctly.They told me straight up they only do store credit. I'll be Guinea pig for the loungers lol
Edit: Hillside is not from NJ, or am I mistaken? Thought they're somewhere in the South
It's absolutely not Vanson...fox creek is in Tennessee (I think).They said Hillside is not making the jackets, but didn't say who is. If it's still MiUSA, who does that leave us with? Someone mentioned Fox Creek, I'm not familiar with them. I'd assume it's not Vanson.
It's really quite something that they won't even state who is actually making the jackets. If it's made in USA, and they want to save a number of sales, seems like it would be worthwhile to just state it. Don't really see why it would be such a huge deal, but then again I'm no leather jacket distributor.Well, I'm out. Got my order cancelled and a refund. Legendary were easy to deal with in this regard, appreciate that. I'm still curious to see what people get, but I based my purchase decision on all my research into the 696HH, not an unknown jacket from an unknown maker. I hope those who do order jackets are happy with them.
Fox creek made my deerskin riding gloves, they're ok IMHOThey said Hillside is not making the jackets, but didn't say who is. If it's still MiUSA, who does that leave us with? Someone mentioned Fox Creek, I'm not familiar with them. I'd assume it's not Vanson.
They can probably sense the Lounge exodus and would rather give out refunds than deal with us, lol. I feel a bit bad canceling but hey, not gonna drop that kinda money on uncertainty.Fox creek made my deerskin riding gloves, they're ok IMHO
Also I got a random email asking me if I want to cancel wtf lol I'm just asking where in the US it's made

Speaking of which, I negotiated that I get Lucky Number 13 instead!Technically the preorders were supposed to open Memorial Day weekend so us cancelling today opens up slots for those who want it and log on this weekend to order.
