Fox Creek. Excellent Leather Jackets and First Rate Customer Service. I have bought a number of Jackets, Gloves, Belts, etc. from these folks over the years. I have never, ever, been even the slightest bit disappointed.

Here in SC i doesnt get that cold for that long so,,, i have a cheap distressed brown leather jacket with a jip out liner i got on sale from jafrum.com for $50.00. I absolutly love it and get lots of compliments. I also have a heavy HD jacket, but wear the brown jacket mostly. Moral of the story is sometimes the most expensive doesnt have to be best. Fitment to me is the most important thing. Good luck.
