Us older folks in the U.S. have all heard of Shinola through
a certain phrase which I won't repeat here. The link will explain why I found the notion of a Schiit headphone amp driving Shinola headphones to be a humorous one.
Shinola is serious about really having their products be U.S. made, and more specifically, being made in hard-hit Detroit. They have a factory in Detroit that has workers assembling watches right down to the little gears. They have the Shinola Leather Works in Detroit that produces bands for the watches and another facility that makes find handbags. Their bike frames are made in Wisconsin, but the the bicycle final assembly is done in Detroit. This is an interesting, 30 second who-we-are style video from their website:

I hope that their products are really good, because the U.S. needs more manufacturing jobs that pay a living wage.
