I was wondering about that, it's the first time that I had someone refuse to reveal country of manufacture



I was thinking it must be Pakistan, as they do quite a bit of leather work. He must have realised that not revealing the country of manufacturing is indeed worse

Could be that the company gets shipments and runs done in different countries. The issue is if they claim one factory as the origin they stand to be called out if the next batch has a different origin label.. If they hold off on declareing where they were made they can pump a whole lot of crap out to consumers from a discount deal say 1000+ units from Pakistan or India for a hot market. While holding on to the premium factory (more costly) reputation.. We in North America see examples of this at Winners. Where Winners used to be about buying overstock and discounting it to consumers they now participate in direct to discount buys. Compromiseing packaging, detailing and product support, clone items are made for discount retail stores as a discount version of that item.. Sometimes my Dickies work pants are from Guatamala sometimes Honduras.. When they are from China they even feel different. I'm guessing those were a deal for Dickies. I paid the same sale price.. It's all in the profit margin for Dickies..

The first two jackets are super cool! Just awesome.

That dude, though... Really cool style but... See, what I don't understand, while this HWM is arguably a size too large, the one I had, which was closer to my size, didn't fit me nearly as good. I guess it's just not meant for me to wear this cool jacket. If I had one that fit like that, I'd be done.

I’m liking the look of that Schott horsehide, it looks a lot like some of my other horsehide jackets... but shinier and better... and with a less annoying zipper...
The Schott HH is shiny and it takes a lot of wear to knock some of the newness out of it but once you do it’s beautiful stuff.

I love the Schott perfecto. The shiny horsehide along with the shiny hardware make it the coolest looking jacket ever. An American legend. Best LOOKING biker/rocker/hoodlum jacket ever.
