I also found this regarding where Held's are made.

"Like many labor-intensive products, the Held gloves are manufactured in
countries that can offer lower costs for sewing, the largest part of the
labor required for manufacturing. Despite the rumors that the former Held
importer has been spreading, Held gloves have not recently changed from
being manufactured in Germany to other countries with lesser quality
control. Held gloves have been stitched in the highest-quality factories in
Hungary, Pakistan and China under strict supervision by Held managers for
the past eight years. The Held gloves are designed and engineered in
Germany. All materials for all Held glove styles are sourced in Germany and
the patterns are cut in Germany. After stitching, all gloves are returned to
Held in Germany for 100% inspection before being shipped to the USA. The
result is the highest-quality glove that will give you years of comfort and
protection."
