I think Hodgman went to China.
If you like the old school waders a company out of Virginia has a line of waders that gets good reviews.
They are not cheap.

If you can do stockingfoot, these companies get the best reviews :
Simms
Dan Bailey
Redington

I paid the big price for Simms in 2000
I use them mostly in summer and they are still going.
They have outlived two pairs of boots and are on the 3rd pair.
