Very nice but I need the Accomplice for my wife and I and they don't have it on sale of course. :-(

Got my new summer quilt as well about 15 minutes ago! Now we wait...

Did some pre-shopping the other day.
Went back this morning, Off The Shelf selection is reduced to only 4 Revelation options (all drawstring foot boxes) - was after a colder quilt with sewn foot box.
Not the end of the world, just an annoyance.

Enigmas in 20, 30, and 40 seemed to be available.

The off the shelf quilts are partially made in China in case that is a factor in your decision.

That's crappy. Although I suppose most of the down comes from there anyway, in the "RDS" farms. Tell me again why we gave them Most Favored Nation status?

Probably in a sweat shop. But then, we get a stuff sack made in India to protect "at-risk" girls :rolleyes:

The Massdrop quilts are produced in China. The shells for the off the shelf quilts are produced in China as well. The stuff sacks are made in India. I think it’s safe to say, EE has jumped the shark and is no longer cottage.

After ordering a UGQoutdoors quilt, I couldn't go with anyone else. A true cottage manufacturer. And you can watch them make your quilt. The quality is second to none.

You’re not going to like what I’m about to say. Katabatic Gear JUST announced they are outsourcing overseas as well. They are following EE’s model and having the shells made overseas and the stuffing and closing will be done in Colorado. Nunatak and Underground Quilt are the last remaining premium quilt makers for made in the USA.

"The China thing" is real. A lot of down comes from eastern Europe.

I ordered a Torrid Apex jacket the morning of the 17th and tracking shows it in my local post office about 1.5 hr ago so it may be delivered tomorrow. I was expecting it sometime in mid December but apparently I beat the rush.

You are right. Anyone can buy down anyway.
Real value added was design and sewing. Guess US workers will still be able to use the vacuum to pour the China down in the China shell.

Ordered my first LLG UQ on the last day of the sale. USA made.
