Default Fox creek leather! Five stars!

Finally decided that my 25 yr old Branded Leathers jacket was getting way to snug around my 55 yr old body. Have been contemplating getting a Fox Creek Leathers Grayson for about a year so I ordered one on Monday night. I really liked that they ask for several measurements rather than just chest size. I called them on Tuesday to check to make sure they had it in stock and that I really needed it before the weekend, which they said it would get to me on Thursday (the shipping was included in the price). Got home from work last night and the box was waiting for me on the rear porch. I have to say as soon as I took it out of the plastic bag I was extremely impressed with the weight and quality of the leather! I could not find one blemish anywhere, and the black dye is perfect. The brass hardware is heavy and nicely antiqued. I put the jacket on and it fits like no other jacket I've ever worn! Simply incredible fit and finish on this garment. This will probably be the last leather motorcycle jacket I will own. Much nicer than my GF's Vanson jacket. I give it 5 out of 5 stars!

Glad you had a great experience. I can't say enough great things about them.

I've had mine now for 5 years and it even gets better as they age.

Thanks for the write up. I am looking very seriously at a Fox Creek jacket and reviews like this are helping.

Paul- my mind was pretty made up a year ago from all of the reviews on this forum. I actually went back to Branded Leathers (not too far from where I live) and they would not do custom sizing anymore, and I felt the leather was not as good as my 25 yr old one. Very nice to deal with on the phone as well.

I have a few of their products - I think they make a great product at a manageable cost

Cool

I too have a new Fox Creek " Grayson". I feel the same as the OP. Fit and quality second to none.

Oh hell yeah, +1 on the Fox Creek Leathers. Been a proud owner of their stuff for maybe 3 years now. Jackets are to die for, belts and wallets the same. Even the dang tool bag on my FB Fox Creek...heheh

I have bought two jackets (thanks to my expanding gut), chaps, 2 vests, 4 belts, and some misc things. Great quality products with better customer support. Can't get a better company. You will enjoy your jacket.
