I have a Diamond suit from WA. It was my understanding at the time I bought the suit that they imported the suits from England minus the boots. They then attach the proper size boots in WA along with any other customization required. I've had their top of the line self-donning tri-lam suit now for about three years and am happy with it. One nice touch is they come with kevlar knee pads which saves wear and tear on the knees. Al > > Yes, they are manufactured in Lakewood WA.
