Ownership
Acquired by Bedrock Manufacturing (same holding company as Shinola) in 2012. Some US manufacturing retained; other lines produced abroad. Quality reputation has declined per longtime customers.
Why Watchlist
Classic heritage-brand PE acquisition pattern. Retail expansion and brand licensing have accompanied reports of quality inconsistency.
