What happened to them?
Been shopping online for a strap vest. I last owned a Boyt vest back in the 1990's, back when they were built with quality and built here.

Filson's vest is now made in Thailand and Vietnam. The shoulder straps are now nylon instead of cotton webbing.

Boyt, Browning and even Orvis are all made overseas, and made more cheaply, although their prices don't reflect that. They all get pretty dismal reviews.

Any recommendations for a basic, well made strap vest that won't set me back $200?
