Default Who's Leather Do You Count On For Quality & Protection?

I'd like to take a poll of what brand of leather most riders depend on for comfort, quality and protection. If you own several brands, please choose the one you reach for most consistantly before a ride. Thanks.

1. H-D
2. Fox Creek
3. Vanson
4. Langlitz
5. Schott
6. Xelement (from LeatherUp.com)
7. Other

Whoops. Sorry for the spelling error. I meant, "whose..." I couldn't seem to edit for correction.

Yep, FOX CREEK LEATHER rules in my book. Very heavy supple leather and very sturdy in it's stitching, pocket linings, zippers, etc. Everything about them is top notch including their customer service.

I've got the Classic I jacket and their Elkskin gloves. Their studded windshield bag should be delivered to my door this week...

For two and a half decades I have had L. L. Bean WWII A41 flight jacket leather jackets. Wonderful, enduring. I have one uninsulated, and one insulated with 3M Thinsulate.

I admit it. I have the H-D jackets, both leather and switchback fabric.

I have a Schott bomber jacket and Fox Creek assless chaps. The Schott's been with me for nearly 14 years and I just got it back from the factory to have the pocket linings replaced...jacket quality and customer service are A-1. The Fox Creek chaps weigh a ton and will probably last me forever...I wear them only in very cold weather.

UNIK...

My wife and I both have UNIK chaps and jackets. They are heavy leather with quality quilted lining and very durable.
