I know, I know, chances are jack and s**t, and jack just left town, but I would like to see if I can find any Isles gear that ISN'T made in Asia, ideally made in USA/Canada. Is this possible anymore?
Any Isles gear made in US/Canada?

The authentic edge jerseys were made in Canada, and were great quality. But, like everything now they're made in Indonesia, crappy quality and almost same price. Screw you Reebok.

I know, they all sell out our nations and sell us garbage while reaping millions in profits, f'em all!
CCM even went to Korea. I got a heritage Maroons sweater as a gift in 05 (favourite one by far), made in Canada, bought a backup one in 07, made in Korea, lame...

Racist! 
Well..you made me curious..so I went into my closet to check it out. I got Korea/Canada/Indonesia
I don't have a problem with offshoring and I don't really care who or where it's made. All I care about is the quality. Some things don't need quality..they just gotta do its job.
Seems all ok quality to me, though, if you were to get something...go authentic.

I wouldn't go authentic unless you found and edge jersey before 10-11. The replicas are actually better quality now-a-days. The quality control is much better. So much so that a lot of official team stores refuse to carry the indo authentic jerseys. Go game issued if you want authentic or eBay an edge jersey. If not just buy a replica. Nothing is like the game issued/worn anyway, so everything is technically a replica.
Yeah..I see your point..
Thought popped into my head..why not get a game worn jersey? Then you are guaranteed top quality...you might have to pay a hefty premium though...

Pretty sure you can get game worns of the isles website. I think I've seen them for like 350-400 . Witch is a ridiculous amount to spend on a shirt, but so is the 200-250 you'd have to spend on a non game worn authentic . I have collected a few islanders/sound tigers pre edge RBK authentic jerseys of eBay that are all Canadian made. The quality is great. If you know what your looking for in terms of spotting a fake you can get a new /gently used one for 75-125. Do some Internet research on how to spot a fake a go the eBay route. Remember this , if it seems to good to be true......then it's a fake.

How about other stuff besides jerseys? I got a gear bag, tore in a year, and a backpack that has held up better, but is starting to fall apart. Oh yeah, and every winter hat, but my skullcap I got at the coliseum (which i am sure is made in SE Asia), fell apart within a year or so.
