Customers have continually asked of us why we went with Ozark Mountain Apparel Cotton Duck Jackets rather than carry the Carhartt Brand Duck Jackets.    Its simple folks, American Mystique wanted assurance that the Cotton Duck Jackets we offer to our wonderful customers were made in the USA.   With Carhartt, we could not get that assurance and guarantee.   With Ozark Mountain Apparel we could acquire that guarantee along with offering our Customers the very best product made right here within the good ol' USA!

Even in checking with stores that offer the Carhartt jackets within our home area, all we could find was labeled Made in Mexico or some other outsourced foreign manufacture.  From jeans to jackets, it seems that Carhartt has gone the Walmart way and is fazing out its American Production Centers.   Even their website has eliminated Made in USA as the main standard.   On the other hand, Ozark Mountain Apparel is quartered right in the heart of the Ozark Mountains in Missouri, and have manufactured their wonderful line of Duck Jackets using local American Workers for almost 20 years. They are true American made jackets.    Plus, we were very impressed that Ozark Mountain Apparel is still home-owned.   That told us here at American Mystique that we were offering to our customers some good down home products that they could really appreciate.

So if you are looking for good solid quality and are searching for a Carhartt Duck Jacket Made in the U.S. ---watch out as it is most likely made from an outsourced foreign manufacturing plant, using cheap labor and even cheaper materials.  Today, Carhartt makes very little of their products inside the USA.

As for Ozark Mountain Apparel, you can still own a high quality Cotton Duck Work Jacket that is entirely made in the USA by real Americans who care about their work and care about their customers needs.   With an Ozark Mountain Apparel Duck Jacket both Men and Women are well served.
