They do exist...
At the dealer this past Saturday to get a new rear tire. While waiting, as usual I browse. Now I have not purchased an HD T-Shirt since the early 1980s, for various reasons. However, a particular shirt did catch my eye as I was casually perusing the motorclothes area and I moved closer to catch a better look. I just about caused them to have to call 911 due to a heart attack when I saw on the label and on a paper tag, MADE IN USA. I picked the shirt up in my size and carried it around over my shoulder as I finished browsing and waiting. I caught the owner at his desk and pointed out that even though the shirt was expensive, I was buying my first HD T-Shirt in about 30 years and showed him the tag. The lady in the Motorclothes department made the comment "if they can make a few in the USA they can make them all in the USA." I hope they do not start on my behalf because I probably still would not buy many shirts. However, that one took a bit more coin out of my pocket. So MADE IN USA Genuine HD Shirts do exist at the dealers (at least the one in my area).

North Korea are you kidding me!
I just had to check my one and only HD shirt to make sure it wasn't from NK. Says made in Hondurus. Well, at least it's made in South America
HD should use Fruit of The loom. We have a plant right here in Bowling Green Kentucky that could be making HD shirts.

You go where the labor is cheapest and they will work for rice. I gave up on looking for USA made HD gear. My buddy sent me a USA HD shirt when he was in Hawaii.

We only pay $5 more per shirt to have them made in the USA as opposed to other foreign manufactures we have priced in the past. The problem is Harley's mark up $5 more translates to $20 or more passed on to the customer.
