Casual in the sense it's the only one they have that is more like everyday jacket for the average person. The other jackets they have are more for the motorcycle crowd and I wasn't looking for a motorcycle jacket. This one is doesn't scream motorcycle is what I'm saying.

It is designed, cut, and put together with features for motorcycle riding. Not a "fashion" jacket.

The black leather biker jacket is actually motorcycle specific riding gear.

I make it here in America, which is why I buy quality American products whenever I can. But make no mistake, this doesn't mean all American products are high quality. We have always made some junk. The only difference today is, if people want junk, they buy it from China, not America. This has put tons of crappy US manufacturers out of business. This is why manufacturers in America have no choice but to make high quality products, if they want to make a sale. I think this is great, because I don't want my good name (USA) slapped on junk!

If companies want to make it in America, they have to make it right. If they can do this, I will always be a loyal customer. I hope companies are listening to the things US consumers are telling them!

The more we buy American, the cheaper the products will become. Economies of scale. I'm doing my part to give working class Americans a chance to prosper, and I think it's money well spent.

We make it all baby, and if you take the time to google it, prices can be pretty close and sometimes even the same. Just cut out the middle man---the snake---the big box store.
Just bought our furniture for our bedroom. it was over 3200 dollars and MADE IN AMERICA. That is the reason we bought it. It is made by Virginia House in the USA by american workers . Trees are from the USA and the company plants trees for everyone they use to make their furniture.


We purchased it through costco. I suggest you support this company.

Yes, which means historically we are producing the highest percentage of top quality goods...possibly ever.

My consumer confidence has never been higher for domestic goods. I can't remember the last thing I bought that wasn't top notch.

I'll gladly buy American made furniture, home-improvement supplies....The clothing is a no. Sorry, I just can't...I'm in love with Rudsak right now--he's Canadian (that's North American made).
