Sadly, I couldn't find any Wrangler products still made in the US. These collars aren't. And I can't find their Rooted Collection anywhere that was US made.

Carhartt still makes some products in the USA, but you have to open every product description looking for “Made in the USA”. 

Sadly, these now say “Imported or Made in the USA” so you can't really know, can you?

Appliances Small and Large Made in the USA

Not many appliances that were once known for being made in the USA still are. (Looking at you, Hamilton Beach and Frigidaire.) But I'll share what I can find here. Read the details as many are assembled in America, but source at least some parts else...

Vitamix products are primarily manufactured in the USA, specifically in Olmsted Township, Ohio, where the company has been based since 1948. The company prides itself on its American-made heritage, and all Vitamix blenders are built and tested at the... 

DISCLOSURE: While the assembly and much of the manufacturing occur in the USA, some components are sourced globally, including from China. 

For instance, certain motors and parts may be imported, although Vitamix claims that over 70% of their parts are made in the USA. 

Recent labels on some products indicate they are "engineered and assembled in the USA," reflecting a shift in their supply chain strategy over the years. 

While Vitamix emphasizes its American manufacturing roots, the use of some imported components means that not all parts of their products are exclusively made in the USA.

"Blendtec products are primarily manufactured in the USA, specifically in Orem, Utah, where the company has been based since its founding in 1975. 

The company is a division of K-TEC, Inc., and it emphasizes its American manufacturing heritage in its marketing and branding efforts."

DISCLOSURE: “While Blendtec focuses on producing its blenders domestically, like many manufacturers, it may source some components from international suppliers. 

However, the majority of the assembly and production processes occur in the United States, reinforcing the brand's commitment to American-made products.”

This is my favorite Kitchen Queen Grand Comfort wood cook stove. It is too big for my cabin, but if it wasn't I would have this one. 

I fell in love with it because of the big glass viewing area on the firebox and the big glass oven window. I love being able to watch the fire and see how what I'm baking is doing. 

This stove is highly efficient with a double reburn firebox and built in heat shields so you don't lose as much space around it for fire safety. 

It has many optional features including a shelf, 24 gallon water reservoir across the back, oven temperature gauge, summer grate, and heater coil to heat water for your home.

If you have a smaller space or live where it is warm like I do, this is the best wood cook stove. It heats up and cools down quickly. 

And it is easy to adjust the temperature. You can order a thermometer feature for the oven and a glass door for the oven, too. 

They sell a “summer grate” feature so you can build a small fire near the cooking surface to use it in warmer weather. 

It is so energy efficient, that a fire will burn all night and then some. 

And you can get a 17 gallon water reservoir so you can have hot water on demand. 

There is also a water coil feature if you you want to use it to heat water for your home. 

The only differences between this stove and my favorite is there is currently no option for a glass door for the firebox. And it isn't quite as fuel efficient as the larger Kitchen Queen Grand Comfort stoves.

Lodge Cast Iron cookware is manufactured in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. The company has been producing its cast iron products since 1896, making it one of the oldest foundries in the United States dedicated to this type of cookware. 

Lodge operates two foundries in South Pittsburg, where they create a variety of items including skillets, Dutch ovens, and griddles. 

The choice of location was strategic, as it provided access to essential resources such as iron ore, water from the Tennessee River, and coal from nearby mountains, which are critical for the casting process. 

Lodge is notable for being one of the last remaining cast iron cookware manufacturers in the U.S., emphasizing a commitment to quality and tradition in their production methods.

5 Quart Cast Iron Double Dutch Oven - wondering why the lid is deep? It provides more room for baking loaves of bread or roasting poultry or roasts. 

Why would you want a skillet with double handles instead of a long handle? Because they fit better in wood cook stoves that may not have ovens large enough for the longer handle on a regular cast iron skillet.
