If you want a moco jacket I would suggest buying from Surdyke vs. online store or dealership. I did & saved about 120 bucks

I wouldn't automatically rule out the quality of off shore leather. Some of it is good enough.

My chaps were made in Paki, 20 years ago, don't stink. Granted they are not up by my face. Harley leather isn't made in the USA, I never smelled one wet.

Big believer in American. But wow American leather has gone up in price. Make sure I keep my foxcreek oiled good.

First thing I look for and noticed when the Marlboro Man jacket thread popped up is none of these appear to be double stitched which makes them really unsuitable as a real riding jacket. For walking around or other use they would be fine.

Not worth it - I purchased some cheap leather years ago. Always a bad idea.

Check out Espinoza's or Lords of Gastown, they got some cool stuff.
