I understand everyone wants to save a buck when they can but I’d like to start supporting a USA brand if there even is one?

Please no, oh we have a head quarters in the USA so we can say our product, that’s make in Vietnam, is actually USA made by some loop hole

Off the top of my head, FORLOH, gulch gear and origin would be options. No personal experience (except a hat I got in the wrong size) but I believe they are making products here in the US.
 
I have a single Gulch Gear shirt that I like a lot. I have worn it for archery elk for a few years and it's nice. I will buy another one when I need to replace it.

 
I've tried Origin (pants & tops), Forloh (pants), 1620 (pants & tops), and T&K Hunting (gaiters).

Origin being the least consistent in "quality" and fit. 1620 is more workwear but top notch stuff with a lifetime warranty if you're more of a double-fronts and heavy sweatshirt kind of guy. Forloh & T&K I have nothing but the highest regards for to date.

Good to hear about Forloh, I have been thinking about trying their stuff for a while

I am glad to hear Forloh mentioned. Love their gear, i highly recommend their stuff.
 
I have bought origin hunt pants and I like them. Very similar to lightweight nylon pants from other hiking/hunting companies. When I bought them they were on their nyloc 2.0 version, now it's been renamed the GTFO mountain pants.

The pants were the only "hunting" product I bought from them. I considered their rain gear, but never ended up buying it. I buy wool layers from Duckworth Montana wool (also made in USA) so was never interested in any base layers or sweaters from Origin.

Duckworth wool is an awesome brand made in usa. Check them out too.

The gtfo mountain pants have become my favorite hunting pants Ive owned, they fit me better than anything else, the material is perfect (light, quiet, and very fast drying) for any active hunting in temps between 40-80* they are my favorite

The bellowed cargo pockets are great too, you can put stuff in them and you won’t be bruised at the end of the day like most cargo pockets (think handheld releases) I think they are what the Sitka ascent wants to be, but better fit, quieter and more comfortable.

I have a good amount of origin clothing now and like what I have. I have the stealth wool set, and aside from it not being wind resistant, I like it a lot, the jacket is great for active insulation, and especially good under rain gear

I have a couple kilo hoodies and they are not light, but warm and very wind resistant. Besides the GTFO pants, I don’t think it’s the best option for backpack hunting, but for base camp or day hunting, it’s all been great

I have the brrr t shirt and when it’s warm and I’m hunting in short sleeves, it’s replaced my merino short sleeves

Their natural fibers do fade, but I don’t care, they still serve the purpose the same. The GTFO pants are awesome though, and one of the few that fit me right, I have a hard time finding stuff that fits, I’m a 30/34 with pants which is the equivalent to small tall which isn’t a thing. Kuiu had long inseam which is nice, but they still don’t fit that well, and I like the material origin uses more than anything from kuiu I’ve used

I hope they keep expanding their hunting line, because I like their gear and like supporting gear made here
