Trinty, that is the way of production these days. You don't have to like it but, we are not a manufactoring country anymore. Wrangler is also in Mexico these days. Sears no longer sells their Rustler brands it's cheaper for them to buy someone elses foreign made product. Along with the Auto industry, Most of our large producer of consumer goods have opted for cheap foreign labor.. Use to be our family would not buy anything not made in the USA. Even if it says it in the label, somewhere down the production line, the product has a foreign part.
