Businesses are competitive and perhaps the China manufacturing gives a price edge. This is our world today. This is my fourth Tilley hat. I started with the original canvas hat in 1995 and still have it. I just retired my nylon LTM5 hat purchased in 2014-- it was warn extensively and was washed at least 100 times-I gave it to my grandson and he likes it. A great hat. I also had a TMH55 but my wife likes it more than me so she wears it. This new LTM3 is made in China and on close exam looks fine. The stitching, fit,, dimensions, visual, material, color-- all good. Someone mentioned the crown was round vs oval-- it is oval, this LTM3 I have looks identical to the LTM5 except for the snaps on the brim and the material is slightly heavier. The size of 7-3/8 fits me properly just like all the other hats. A solid thumbs up.
