i wear the shirts but thats about it. I have a hard time paying the price but i only buy them at places i've rode to as a souvenir. my jacket was made in america damnit! fox creek ftw. love that thing.
This is much too deep a subject for this early in the morning. Before I weigh in on this, I need to finish my coffee from my HD cup, as I sit under my HD blanket in my HD pajama ensemble complete with HD socks.

Yes, I have some items of clothing that say Harley-Davidson. No jackets or jeans or boots, but a few shirts.
However, from days as a competition shooter, my rule-of-thumb is don't wear anybody's name that you're not being paid to wear.
Told folks a long time ago, "No more black t-shirts or I am making a quilt the size of Bolivia".

But then again, so are a lot of us.
There aren't any real good shops around here for riding gear, and I've bought enough garbage online that I prefer to see, touch, and feel what I'm buying. My local dealer has a good selection of pretty decent gear, so I buy it. Yeah, I pay a little more because it says HD on it. But most of it is decent gear so I really don't care. Stuff like jeans and gloves and glasses I buy wherever, but jackets and boots I get from the dealer because there's a good selection.
Now t-shirts...that's a different addiction altogher.

I am a brand ***** for HD. I don't care. It's really no different than being a brand ***** for Apple, ****, your favorite sports team...etc.
I do draw the line at comfort. I bought HD boots last year because they were the only ones I found that were wide enough to be comfortable.
I won't wear any gear from any company if it makes me uncomfortable.
