Nice looking jacket. When it came time to replace my OEM AMF jacket, I looked at both Langlitz and Fox Creek.. Both American made and both high quality. Went with Langlitz because they are on the west coast (Oregon) and I live in California so it was all about a short road trip for a custom jacket. If I lived on the east coast Fox Creek would have had the business.

Did a 3500 mile trip over the summer with the new jacket and couldn't be happier.

Again, nice jacket and thank you for buying American.

Yeah, which is it? I would like to get the Summer Riding Jacket.

Did you get it custom fit, or S M L?

Called "Leather Rebel Jacket". Not custom fit since I'm a thin guy. 165 lbs, 5'11. It's a size 42.

It's very similar to the SOA vests by Lil' Joes. I've owned one of those too, and the quality is just as good. Couldn't be happier. Doing a 200 mile ride on Saturday. Looking forward to it with this new jacket. Should make for much easier carrying registration/insurance, phone, keys without having all that uncomfortably shoved into my pants.

Best part is it is on sale and cost me only $257!

Nice write up on the jacket, love my jacket year round. Got a belt for my birthday quality was top notch ordered two more. Easy to conceal carry due to the thickness of them.

Quality is great. Leather weight is lighter than their other jackets. I need zipper not snaps.. Fit is great.

I got the same jacket, size 42 even, but I added 2 inches to the sleeves and swapped out the front snaps for a zipper. Couldn't be happier, great jacket.

I think the changes cost me like an extra $45.

I have the summer riding jacket, and let me tell you, I use it year round. It's supposedly a thinner leather, but I'de wager it's thicker than most other "regular" jackets. The venting is effective. I bought it at the end of the season last year for under $300. Best money I've spent in years.

Does it have pockets for armor in the back, elbows and shoulders?
