L.C. King Manufacturing has made Pointer Brand overalls, chore coats and workwear in downtown Bristol, Tennessee since 1913, in the same family the whole time. The about page names the factory, which is the difference between a claim you can check and one you take on faith.
What it does not name is where the cloth is woven. That silence is why the record sits at the second mark: the sewing is plainly domestic, but a workwear maker cutting from mill fabric of unstated origin is the textbook assembled-in-USA case, and the lower mark is the one that cannot be wrong in a way that damages trust. The question is flagged for the next verification rather than assumed either way.
