These guys are just across the river from me over in Portland, OR. I've never stopped by the shop myself (been meaning to, though), but I've heard nothing but good things from everyone that has.

Another good local company for custom leathers here in Vancouver, WA is Stewart Leathers.

Fox Creek Leather is by far the best quality I have found. Great products and Great service. As said before you get what you pay for. Another good thing is the lifetime warranty and their products are made in the U.S.A.

dont buy leather from anyone who has anything to do with motorycles. it will always be over priced and relatively cheap quality.

go to the people who wear leather as a matter of function and tradition. cowboys!
+1 on that. Got a pair of US cavalry saddlebags, love em.

Another Fox Creek fan here. I called and order and my jacket on Monday and had it on Friday. Excellent quality and customer service. Even waited while I gave them my measurements over the phone. Looking for some chaps soon and definitely will buy there
