The American Heritage Series is built in Wisconsin, with “USA and globally sourced components.”
The American Heritage Series is built in the USA, with a qualifier. Thorogood says final construction on those boots is always completed in its union factories in Wisconsin. The company itself uses the phrase “USA and globally sourced components.”
That makes it an assembled/built-in-the-USA claim, not an all-domestic-materials claim. We checked the American Heritage Series only, not every Thorogood boot.

Look for the country-of-origin line on the product page and the label on the item itself. The FTC's standard for an unqualified “Made in USA” claim is “all or virtually all” of the product made here; phrases like “assembled in USA” or “with U.S. and global components” mean something narrower. If the listing doesn't say, ask the brand. Read the FTC's standard →
We attribute every claim to the brand's own words, with the source and the date we read it. We don't certify products ourselves.
