While this place may advertise a US location, none is listed. They use a few corporation names in the website with no exact location given. More likely nothing more than a mail drop for returns if even that.

Here's a good USA leather jacket company. They are top notch in my book!

Well I just bought an HD T-Shirt in China.

Guess where it's made?

That's right. Nicaragua

Go figure, as they say.

Now that is cool. I have a son-in-law and his brother is married to a Chinese national, and going there to see her this month. I may have him pick one up for me. Be kind of cool to ride in to the dealership wearing it. LOL

I was in Hong Kong a few months back and visited the women's alley where they sell all the fake stuff. They have the full range of HD leather gear and claim it comes from the factory as seconds. The leather itself is nice, but check the zippers and other hardware. If they pull rough or don't look nice and shiny, then its a fake.

The prices are about 40% of HD prices.

A few years ago I got a MC style leather jacket from Antelope Creek Leather. Label says Distributors of Quality Leather....USA.

A closer look at the size label says, Made in Pakistan. It is a great, very heavy jacket, but even from Borger, Tx, it's not antelope, and it's not made in the USA. Can't wear it if it's over 50 degrees, just to heavy.

Looks great hanging in the closet, though....dd50

I would take them up on the refund, 20% is a decent amount for your complaint. Take the money, and wear the coat, no one will know the difference anyway...
