my harley jacket says made in china also .

 

I think the leather is ok, the overall quality is ok but I've never seen an original HD jacket so I have no idea of its real or not.

There must be some indications? On labels or buttons?

I'll take some photos and post them here.

 

If the quality is OK and it's real leather, what's the problem?

My Willie G skull jacket: made in China
Nylon FXRG jacket: made in Indonesia

Both are good quality so I have no problems but I certainly prefer made in america as long as the quality is good and the price is tolerable.
Most of the harley gear I've purchased has been of good quality.

 

A lot of those "authorized" manufacturers in China will sell out the back door. Same stuff the supply to Harley and other companies. You just can't trust those Chinese.

 

Leather is leather. Harley jackets are made overseas now days. So was mine. But I wasn't going to pay those prices to get a leather jacket made in China. You can buy American made jackets in the 300 to 500 dollar range that are quality cowhide or horsehide. Me, I paid 89 dollars for a buffalo (water) jacket from Biker's Den. It's not the quality of a good American made cowhide or horsehide jacket. But it's good enough. All I want it to do is keep me warm, and protect my skin if I go down. It will do that.

 

They are only a few dollars cheaper than a US dealer such as Surdyke. If I really wanted one, at least I would throw so money to a US business.

 

I wanted to buy a genuine made in USA HD jacket, that website says boldly that they only sell officially licensed HD products but they sent it from china obviously its not licensed. What is Harley doing as a company? Why arent they looking whats going on with their name?

 

A large portion, if not all, of Harley's "licensed" products are made in China. Go to the dealership and look at the labels. If you want genuine USA made apparel, don't shop at Harley.

What is Harley doing? They are offering their products that they bought on the cheap from a foreign country, and turning around and selling them to you at high prices. It's called making money. You don't really think they stay alive as a business just based on motorcycle sales do you?

If you look at the reviews for that company and their products, 90% of them are not from the USA. Foreigners seem to not have much problem buying foreign products. Us Americans have issues with paying premium prices for foreign products.
