American made leather?????

So, my wife got her new wheels in the summer and now needs a jacket.. What better Christmas gift?? We'll of course she picked one out that she likes at the dealer.. After getting past the price, I went to look again and possibly buy it this evening.. I found out that it and all of their friggin boots are made in China, of all places.. So, anyone got a recomendation for a good quality leather jacket supplier who actually makes stuff here? I looked at Fox Creek, but didnt see anything similar to what she had in mind, any other ideas would be great..

Thanks for the replies guys.. I did look at Fox Creek, got the name wrong earlier... Good looking stuff, I'll also take a look at Schott to see what they've got..

I can understand the companies doing what they have to, to stay competitive. But, I've got a real problem with Chinese stuff in general, especially in an American icons showroom..

Vanson or Langlitz. But you probably will not be able to get a custom made Langlitz before Christmas. Maybe for 4th of July.

You can't go wrong with Fox Creek Leather. Great quality jackets along with an excellent customer service dept. Don't forget the gloves.
