Default Leather Jackets

I am thinking about ordering a jacket from Chilhowee Leathers and was hoping someone here could tell me if Chilhowee offers a good product and good service.

Thanks

TBone for what it's worth I looked for about a month before buying a new jacket. I bought the Legendary USA Beck680. great retro look US made horsehide. Fits perfect,close fitting so it keeps out the wind really good. Rode yesterday with a sweatshirt and the jacket in 50 degrees, plenty warm. the jacket feels kinda light but does a great job. Kinda pricey but I think worth it.

If you want a high quality jacket check out Foxcreekleathers.com. I just got mine from them and it wasn't cheap, but after trying on every jacket at my Harley dealership and just not finding the right one, I went ahead and ordered from them. Worse case senerio is if you don't like it you have 30 days for a full refund.

Fox creek great quality and service. Just bought this vest and saw a jacket made out of the same brown and black pattern and quality leather.

I picked up a FoxCreek vest last year and the quality is second to none. Definitely worth the extra few bucks!

I just bought a Nevada jacket from Harley. Has a removable liner for extra cold riding. I had to have a "Tall" size and the price is comparable to the fox creek jackets. $450.00
