That's hard to say. I believe most are made in China, no matter which brand,(generally speaking).
When I bought my chair to go with my brand new PC and brand new computer desk, I went to Staples, Office Max, and Office Depot, and sat in every chair they had on display. That's my advice to you, since, if you're like me, you'll be spending many an hour sitting in it.
The chair I decided on was a little pricey,(at least for me), at $180. What you get in the $150 and above range, seems to be that extra 2 - 4 inches in back height, 2 -4" in the seat width, which makes a notable difference, particularly if you're around 240 lbs.,(on a slim day!), like me.
A little bit more cushioning, and maybe a slightly better grade of leather, also can be found in the more expensive chairs.
Go, my son, and sit, sit, sit. . .then sit some more, in as many chairs as you can. I'm glad I did. But then, that's just me. . .
Good luck in your search.
Oh, and should you find that perfect chair at any of the stores mentioned above, write down the model/brand, order it on-line w/ a discount code, and have it delivered free.
Also, do make an investment in a chair mat, to save your flooring or carpet. I bought the cheapest I could find, but I've just had to replace it after 3 years, due to cracks.
Office Max on-line currently has their heaviest Rubbermaid mats, ($50 - ouch!), but have $25 rebates available. Just got mine yesterday - it's about three times the thickness of my cheapy!
Hope this helps.
