Jake,
Just remember its your ideas and designs that really count. Where a product is made gets political. I admire you're honorable intentions to do a UK based product. But as you found out, ain't easy. And the fact is your countrymen won't drop everything to support you. We see the same here in the USA.
I learned a bit about this from two long time friends in the luggage and bag business. You may have heard of them:
RKA Products Page
I've known Richard since about '92. He was one of our first advertisers.
They've really struggled in the last five years. Almost went out of business, but some how hung on. Barely breathing.
RevPack Soft Luggage for the Motorcycle Touring Enthusiast.
Jim Reverly and his wife have been making good gear for decades. Once again, small business and very tough going. Also long time advertiser, now neither of these two can afford an Ad.
Jim owns property in Central California. We've been camping and partying there for over 20 years.
Songdog Ranch; camping facilities, rallies, music & rural life enthusiasts.
Songdog Ranch is just North of Santa Barbara, CA. Just a bit too close to L.A. for me, but a beautiful area none the less and world famous among motorcycle touring riders.
