All of Tom's products are made I think in Washington state. :)

From his FAQ

Where are TOM BIHN products made?
Most of the TOM BIHN line is manufactured in the Pacific Northwest in our Seattle production factory. The remaining products are manufactured under contract in Minnesota and Montana. TOM BIHN only sells products that are made by people fairly compensated for their labor. We are dedicated to creating quality products and quality jobs.

2. Someday, this large Cafe Bag will be mine...
http://www.tombihn.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=TB0203&Category_Code=CARELABEL&Product_Count=6

in Steele/Deep Blue.

It's one of the items with the 'special tag'

French-language version included an extra phrase: "NOUS SOMMES DESOLES QUE NOTRE PRESIDENT SOIT UN IDIOT. NOUS N'AVONS PAS VOTE POUR LUI." Roughly translated, this statement reads in English as: "We're sorry our president is an idiot. We didn't vote for him."

:D

6. Yes, did my own research. That's them. Memory lane, here
http://www.snopes.com/business/hidden/tombihn.asp

In April 2004, Tom Bihn label someone called attention to the fact something was a little odd about the care instruction tags found on backpacks and laptop cases produced by manufacturer TOM BIHN of Port Angeles, Washington. Specifically, what was unusual was that the English and French statements on those tags didn't quite match — while both versions included the usual admonitions not to use bleach, not to machine dry, and not to iron the bags, the French-language version included an extra phrase: "NOUS SOMMES DESOLES QUE NOTRE PRESIDENT SOIT UN IDIOT. NOUS N'AVONS PAS VOTE POUR LUI." Roughly translated, this statement reads in English as: "We're sorry our president is an idiot. We didn't vote for him."
