On The Second Day Of Christmas…

This is what Occidental Leather has to say about their tool belts, “Made from the finest American made materials available and designed to complement the work habits of the modern tradesman.” Sounds good to us!

Check out their website for more quality products.

So, does "Made from American made materials" mean "Made in America"?

If it was, they would probably just say it that way, so I'd say probably not.

Here is a quote from their FAQ page on their website:

Are your products made in the USA?

YES. Many people are not aware that Occidental is a stickler for detail and that we insist on American made raw materials (leather, threads, rivets, etc.) and labor. Our only manufacturing facility and our R & D Studio are currently located in Sonoma County, CA.

I'll agree with gunslinger...With the economy the way it is today, if I owned the company and this was MADE IN USA, my ads would be saying MADE IN THE US of A!

To avoid these ads, REGISTER NOW!

Has anyone checked out the website? There is a big banner and two logos that say, "Made in the USA."

Geez, tough crowd!

Tough crowd for good reason.

There is at least one tool brand that markets their products in a similar manner, but for deceptive purposes - they advertise a product as being "forged out of American steel." I contacted the company, and they confirmed that the products are now manufactured elsewhere and imported.

There are quite a few companies will try to twist things in a way that their claims are not quite outright lies, but they come dangerously close.

It's a conspiracy!!!!

These guys use USA made resources and then manufacture their products right here in the USA... So, you guys can put your picket signs down.
