No such thing as a New USA Harley jacket.

The only thing made in the USA nowadays is the label that says "Made in China."

I would move Langlitz to the top of the list. Last jacket you will ever need or want.

I didn't put them in any particular order. I'd say let your budget be your guide. I have a Schott and am happy with it's quality. Any on the list I provided will be a high very quality jacket. Prices range from about $450 for a Fox Creek to over $1200 for a Langlitz. Hillside, Legendary and Schott falling in between those prices in roughly that order. All Made in USA.

Only if you are as serious about your gear,as you are about the motor you ride. Damn few of those around.

I can't necessarily say that’s entirely the case. Not everyone can afford to throw down a grand or more on a bespoke jacket. Many have to try to get the best they can afford. There are plenty of quality jackets at various price points. Fortunately there are several that are made in the USA for those that want one and are serious about their gear.

If you really want a Harley jacket, get it and tear the label out if it bothers you.
