I wouldn't doubt that jacket is probably made of 'American' leather and just cut, stitched and assembled in China.
That's the state of things. It probably costs less to slaughter the cows in the States, skin them and ship it to China, have the work done there, and ship it back to the States for sale there than it does to just do it all in America. [&o]
There is a difference between "skins" and leather: the tanning process. The EPA shut down American tanneries years ago. There really is no American leather, anymore.
