I just purchased a horsehide vest from HillsideUSA ( http://www.hillsideusa.com/Horsehide...ction_s/22.htm ). Why, because I don't buy Chinese stuff any more. Sure, it was almost a two hundred dollar vest, but it will last the remainder of my lifetime as well as my sons. I was able to custom order it with a Boozefighter green liner and they threw in free extenders. So yeah, I paid a lot, but I got a quality vest that was hand made by Americans in the USA. I have tried on the MOCO vest in their dealers and they are an utter joke compared to this vest. To me that matters. This is the description of the MOCO's best vest:
Designed for those who follow their own path. Lightweight leather for comfort. Snap front and adjustable side lacing. Two hand-warmer pockets with snap closure. One interior horizontal pocket. Embroidered graphic on back waist. No-nonsense styling that's always ready to go.
98103-02VM
MSRP US $145.00 - US $165.00 per size and/or color
Why the hell would I spend 150 bucks for a light weight ANYTHING that comes from China?????

Harley-Davidson is controlling the imports of clothings, and claims that is a bad thing, ans is illegal, for "non approved" dealers to sell them. Thereby keeping the pricing up. And some of us do it anyway, to save money.
De Beers is controlling the imports of diamonds, and claims is a bad thing, definitely illegal, to buy and sell conflict diamonds. Thereby keeping the pricing up. Maybe to save some money, let's look for conflict diamonds.
Hmmm, I see the similarity here.....Flame on, my friends
