Go to WalMart. U will find an abundance of high quality materials and supplies and they never import inferior products from China. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Actually, in all fairness, some high quality down (800-900) is coming from China recently. If U have a big need for it try to get a bunch of make-it-yourselfers together to purchase a larger sized quantity or order the min amt to get an order in or receive some savings. thru.hiker will have some if not all U need

You'll find that most of these fabrics do come from China, or Asia in general. It is where most things are made.
Excellent .... thanks guys!
