In many instances and the realistic truth of the matter, some products are excellently made in ChiNAH...and for a much better price to pass down to the end consumer. Would you be willing to spend twice as much for a USA made version of the Stratus? And for us on the flipside, would then invite all the cries of, 'Oh you guys are sooo expensive!..' Would you be willing to spend twice as much on a US made smartphone? All projections point to a minimum of $2,000 for a US made version. Sure we would love to make all of our goods in the USA. It's simply not a feasible path, starting in the 1990s under the Bush administration, which saw a huge off-shoring of American manufacturing, especially in the outdoor industry.
If you can get enough US consumers willing to pay on average twice as much retail for the same goods to be made here, then we would probably be more willing to produce here...if we can even find the factories to do so, which have become very few and far inbetween. And no, we're not anywhere big enough to capitalize our own factories here.
As a small American business, we do what we can in the USA. But no, we can't make everything here, as much as we would love to.
But, pls by all means, support us in buying our US made goods, which there are many on our site. Cheers!
