Harley has good stuff, but it is all made over seas. Fox Creek is equal to or better in quality, fit, style, and price, and it is made in the USA.

Any large leather purchases I make in the future will beFox Creek.

So, is there a problem offering equal quality alternatives?????? It's possible the OP isn't aware of some of these lesser known brands.
