In addition to Fox creek, I'd throw Lil Joes and Vanson into the mix of US-made motorcycle leather jackets. My Lil Joes is absolutely superb.

If you not a slave to conformity.... Check out Klim riding gear. Some of the most advanced top end riding gear made. Not cheap ($300-&1600) but some of the very best. And yes..... Made in the USA in Idaho....

I am partial to hd jackets. They seem to be good quality. Figure out exactly what you want and the size, then order from one of the 20% discount online hd dealers. $500 jacket will cost you $400 and wait till free shipping is offered.

Save yourself several hundred dollars and buy a jacket that doesn't have an HD tag.

I have a Legendary USA Vest and it is great! Leather is American cut in America and sewn in America.

Cool

I think the OP wants casual HD so Langlitz, Schott etc are really out of the question.


Frankly, for casual you're probably out of luck unless you get a bespoke jacket somewhere. HD is all sourced in China. Almost all casual clothing of any kind in the US is sourced outside the country. This goes for even high end stuff like my new Italian slacks.


So Good Luck.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that the was looking for casual, not riding gear.
