If anyone has either i'd like to have your input, considering between the two. I have not heard anything bad about Fox Creek, but i have heard some bad things about Lil Joe's as well as their cost. However, the style of Lil Joe's is more of what I am looking for. These are the two that I am debating between.

Seems like Lil Joes does not have a lot of options. And I don't care much for zippers on pockets like Fox Creek.

 

I have the Lil' Joe's Black Magic vest, which is a brushed, black denim. Not to everyone's taste. However, I like it a lot! I think Lil' Joe's run a tad small, so I ordered an XL and it fits perfectly.

I hear great things about Fox Creek. I don't think you could go wrong either way.

 

Fox Creek has great stuff , I've got a full set jacket/vest/ chaps/gloves from them and the quality is great , made in the USA and lifetime warranty .

Thier service is killer

 

I have the rebel vest, couldn't be happier with it

 

I have a Fox Creek and it's pretty nice. Really heavy leather, sturdy zipper, lined and well made (although their "gun pocket" won't hold any gun I have). At $200 less than Lil' Joes it's a steal.

 

I purchased a Lil Joes vest a couple years back and it is one high quality vest. Very well made, well worth the money. One thing though, the arm holes are not like a standard vest where you have a lot of clearance around the arm, these type of vests are more like the sleeves have been take off a jacket.

 

I ended up going with Lil joes for mine. Couldnt be happier with the quality and look. Give them a call and ask about the sizing. They asked a few questions and got me fitted perfect. Not cheap but def worth the price.

 

$199 vs. $349 for identical US-made vests? I'd go with Fox Creek.

 

I have both vest and jacket from Fox Creek.
Very well made and the service is top notch.

I ordered the jacket and had it for awhile before wearing. I noticed it was a long and I needed a regular, the replacement was in the mail the same day.

 

I'm looking at the same vest. About how big are you, and how does the vest fit? I'm 5'11" 185 pounds and wear a large t shirt. I want a vest that fits not "snug" per se, but not baggy.
