Weinbrenner work boots, made in Wisconsin since 1892. Google it.

Ha. Boots I bought off Amazon a few months ago: China. So is the jacket bought in a dealership. Harley shirt I'm wearing right now: India.

The problem I have with clothes and stuff being foreign made, is that harley still demands a premium price just cause it says harley. I bet this shirt cost 2 bucks to make in India.

yeah, and speaking of adjustment to change my report was last year so..the point is people simply cannot criticize wholesale non American parts and places where they are built..there's probably exceptions..maybe Oreo cookies are 100% American, etc
