Looking for a jacket
I've got a kickass 3/4 length leather jacket that I bought about 7 years ago, but it's wearing a bit and I'm looking for another one - so far unsuccessfully.
I've looked at just about every jacket for sale at every HD dealership that I've been to and haven't found one that works. Either the sleeves are too tight or chest is too tight or it's too short. It's kind of annoying because I see all these jackets that look great but they're just not right.
I need a 3/4 length jacket so it'll hang down below my ***. All the standard-length jackets feel like they're riding up my back and I hate it.
All the 3/4 jackets I've seen are made with really lightweight leather that looks like it would tear if you sneezed at it wrong.
Anyone seen anything like what I'm looking for, or know anyone who sells something that'd work for me?

I would check out these folks and if they don't have exactly what you're looking for it might worth a call to see if they can add the extra length to a style you like.

Fox Creek Leather makes outstanding quality, heavy/supple leather jackets. Mine is the Classic I. It's not a 3/4 length, but it hangs down plenty far when seated on the bike (no riding up and allowing cold air up the back).
Mine held up very well in a 70 mph crash with just some scuffs. I'm still wearing it and swear by it for warmth - I wore it all winter with nite time temps in the 30's with just the jacket liner and a warm fleece pull-over under it. In summer the liner comes out and the vents work well. The jacket weighs almost 10 pounds if that gives you an idea of the leather it's made of.

Did you look inside the jacket for a tag and then google for the manufacturer?

I picked up a jacket from Legendary USA about six years ago. Great quality and a good selection.
