Looking for winter coat

Just curious if any major outdoor clothing manufacturer makes anything in the US anymore. In the past I have purchased Patagonia and North Face mostly but was annoyed to find everything imported. From where I don't know but I always assume "Imported" means China. But that is not necessarily true. While I prefer to buy American products I am not opposed to purchasing from other countries as there are items that are not produced here anymore. In fact I would be that there are some items are only produced in China.

So I have sent an e-mail to North Face and Patagonia asking if any of their items are made outside of China. I plan to check with the other manufacturers too before I head to Masada to make my winter purchases.
