It depends... 1st batch usually produced locally in Vancouver. China division usually carry the general jackets and the rest...
About 30% of the Vancouver plant is now focusing on repair and maintenance re: warranty. They provide quite good of the service on repairing, cleaning, re-spray coating...
yes, but how often you able to buy the 1st batch, haha... for people buying those high-end gear, a lot just become their day-to-day fashion. What a waste of money.
