Well many time a company like DISNEY goes over seas to say CHINA for it products, (Officially Licensed Merchandise), but it is not about better quality, it is about MORE PROFITS for the MOUSE, and they do not care about the American Workers who jobs they took away.
Speaking of DISNEY the LAST TIME I went to Disneyland ANAHEIM, we wound up talking to a Security Officer who had worked for DISNEYLAND 18 YEARS +.
His take on working for the MOUSE in one of over 20 UNIONS that are at Disneyland, is he wished he had not gone to work for the MOUSE, as the Mouse no longer care about its employees, and is constantly trying to take employee benefits away.
I say BOYCOTT DISNEY, and their Products!

The label does not say made in Illinois.
The label says, GTF Cases, 2008, Chicago, IL. The label is meant to emulate the old Fellini label which also did NOT say that the cases were made in a particular place, they had an address on them, which could have been for anything.
It's definitely a question of where they are made as those on here who have a problem with the label do NOT require that all other products with any sort of label to identify where they were made, nor do they require a label at all for most products.
If these cases were made in Texas and had the exact same label on them as they do now than I have no doubt that there would be ZERO comment on the label.
I have said this before and it bears repeating, no one is going to purchase this case because of this label. No one ever bought a Fellini because it had a label with an address on it.
Which brings up the question which none of the people who take issue with the GTF label will answer, if you are so righteous about this issue and really want everything labeled as you think it should be then why is it ok for a person named Bob Hemphil to name (label, brand) his cases Fellini?
Doesn't that imply that the cases were made by some old Italian leather master named Fellini? Or does Fellini mean something special in italian that I don't know about.
If this means so much then why have I never seen anyone question exactly where and by whom all other products are made? Were the really made at such and such address? Who made them, were they legal workers or not, did the owner pay all his taxes, treat his employees fairly?
You see where this goes. Not to say we shouldn't be socially responsible in our manufacturing and consuming, we should, let's just try not to be too hypocritical about it.
The label reads GTF 2008, Chicago, IL nothing more, nothing less. If there were some attempt to deceive then I certainly wouldn't be on here bragging about being given the opportunity to make these cases IN CHINA.

imo they are the best cases made on that style. i love ron but ive seen some bad ones here and there. ive only seen 1 bad gtf and i think the leather could have been centered better. thats it.
sory jay. we generally agree but jv said it right. i say it all the time. it is impossible to not used imported products. computer tv car. even if american made parts are most likely imported
