Most of them are, yes. And you can get them altered until they fit.

I was in their store in Independence, VA a few weeks ago, a little on the expensive side but man they make quality stuff.

For made in USA check out Schott leathers. They are not cheap, but meet all your requirements.

I bought my wife's "An American Legend" leather jacket a the Harley dealership for around $200 and it is Made in America, I am clueless why Harley doesn't sell those anymore.

Coltsfan it has to do with H-D's profit margin/greed. They can make more from a Pakistan jacket than a made in the U.S.A.
