LL Bean, Lands End, Backcountry, Columbia, Sierra Trader, still no luck. Luckily I have a jacket and although not as cute and stylish as I would like it is serviceable ( a word my mother liked to use and I hated when I was a teenager)
Today I got this response from Columbia:
"All of our jackets are manufactured in China and Southeast Asia.Thank you for sharing your concerns about the countries in which Columbia Sportswear products are manufactured. We understand that for some consumers, in addition to fit, performance, style and value, other personal factors also affect their buying decisions. As one of the largest outerwear, sportswear and footwear companies in the world, Columbia Sportswear is part of a global industry that has evolved dramatically over the past 30 years. Part of that evolution has included developing mutually-beneficial relationships with manufacturing partners in over 15 countries, where virtually all of Columbia Sportswear’s products are produced today. These countries have become vital, peaceful trading partners and suppliers of high-quality products for most leading footwear and apparel brands. We are proud of the innovative materials, technologies and construction techniques that we have pioneered with our global manufacturing partners. These relationships make it possible for us to provide consumers in over 100 countries with outstanding performance benefits at competitive prices, to create rewarding career opportunities across our global organization, and to generate value for Columbia Sportswear’s shareholders.
Thank you,
Kristen
