Default Best Made in USA Leather Vest?

I have been looking online. Several USA Companies I am very happy to see and Made in USA is very important. Now, the chore is to choose one of them. Any helpful advice about the companies you have bought a vest from? Thanks.

I have one from Hillside USA. Very happy with the quality. Foxcreek, Langlitz, Lil Joes and Legendary USA are some other top US Leather makers.

I have one from Legendary USA. Great quality and I would definitely buy it again. It could stand to be an inch or two longer, though. Overall, I'm happy with it.

I put a full size H&K USP 45 up in the gun pocket. No profiling. They're good.

I've had great luck with Foxcreek - Have a jacket from them. Fits great, arrived quickly, and while I have not had any issues, their customer service is said to be excellent.

Interesting that no one mentioned River Road. Are they not made in USA?
