Default Made in USA Sweater.....

Like me, I know a lot of folks struggle to find good USA made shooting clothes. So I always like to share when I run onto something nice. Not a huge size range, but a really great classic sweater:

The Camo bags you refer to are likely the Dryden line. They are nice bags, but sadly, yes they are imported. They are made in Vietnam. And that is where most of the Filson luggage is going these days. Even the tin and rugged twill pieces.

Does anyone know where you can find socks that last longer than a month? I have tried many including bombas which are garrenteed but still only last about a month.

I've been wearing these for awhile and really like them. The elastic dies in the top after awhile but I'm getting about a year out of a pair before that happens. They make them in wool too, all US manufacturing.

Try "Point 6" socks. Best I've ever seen. They make v thin - v thick merino wool sox that last forever. Bruce Day had some at a hunt and I tried a few pairs when I got home and now have a dresser drawer full. They are incredible.
