Made in USA, Swiss Made: Country of Origin Explained

Made in USA, Swiss Made: Country of Origin Explained

Header image: GORUCK GR1 Froning x Allegiance Supply

Whether we like to admit it or not, a product’s country of origin plays a big part in the way we perceive its quality, with the country of origin label reflecting its quality, reputation, and heritage. Saying something is “Made in the USA” automatically gives the item a high standard of craftsmanship, so it’s not surprising that many brands try to use this to their advantage.

GORUCK GR2 Waxed Woodland Camo 34L

So, what exactly does it take for an item to display its country of origin proudly? The answer to that isn’t as clear-cut as we would hope. Not all country of origin labels are created equal. Different products and industries have different standards and regulations for determining the origin of their goods. Some labels are stricter and more transparent than others, while others are vague and misleading.

Discommon Launches The Wallet 3.0: The Return of the Stitch-Free Card Holder

Discommon Launches The Wallet 3.0: The Return of the Stitch-Free Card Holder

Discommon has recently released the next iteration of its popular stitch-free wallet, aptly named The Wallet 3.0. This release marks the third generation of its thermoformed wallet, first launched in 2016. It features a sleek and minimalist design that can hold up to six cards, three on each side. Prioritizing style and durability, it’s made of top-grain nappa leather and micro-suede interior. It features a new and more complex form that allows a little "flip lip" to assist in opening.

One notable change in The Wallet 3.0 is the removal of the RFID blocker, which was present in the previous generations. According to Discommon, the RFID blocker affected the product's longevity and was “mediocre in its abilities in such a small wallet.”

The Wallet 3.0 is not only a cult item for Discommon but also one of the most requested products by its customers. The brand said that it received a lot of inquiries and feedback about its wallet and took its time refining and improving the design.

Purpose: Card holder, Everyday carry
Dimenions: 3.625" x 2.625”
Exterior Fabric: Genuine Nappa leather
Inner Fabric: Microsuede
Capacity: 6 cards
Price: $110.00 (also available as a bundle of three for $270)


The Wallet 3.0 is now available on Discommon's website, and it comes in three different color combinations: Tan and Mango, Black and Oslo, and Gray and Ruby.

The 17 Best Travel Sling Bags for Your Next Adventure - Ranked!

The 17 Best Travel Sling Bags for Your Next Adventure - Ranked!

Sling bags are one of the most convenient ways to carry travel gear away from home. The sling design makes taking the bag on and off easier, especially compared to a traditional backpack. The single strap over the shoulder lets you carry a bag on either side of your body, and reducing the number of straps required to carry the same amount of gear tends to make things more lightweight.

With a travel sling bag, you can carry a bag at your front or back, depending on the situation. Back carry adds excellent stability, while carrying at the front lets you access your gear quickly, which is great if you carry a camera or other essential gear daily. While you can carry a backpack like a sling by only shouldering one of the straps, you’ll quickly find that to be highly uncomfortable and unbalanced compared to a sling. Some sling bags have even better padding than a traditional backpack, so they can be loaded to your heart's content with no problem. And unlike a briefcase or duffel bag, the longer strap is more comfortable for longer trips.

Like other everyday carry travel bags, there’s a wide variety of sling bag designs. They span the entire range from small personal bags that augment your other travel bags of choice to large and thoughtfully designed sling bags that can be your one-bag solution when you’re headed out the door.
