new leather
Got new Harley leather today, just want to thank everyone for the advice. It is like riding a new bike ,cuts the wind like butter. Can not believe I do not feel hot Actually feel cool,had to shut the vents. I checked out many jackets in the last week, found Harley jackets were made best. They also have one year warranty,which I did not know.

I've been wanting to buy one but having a hard time finding one that fits my three main criteria.
1. Doesn't say Harley-Davidson on it anywhere (on the snaps is OK).
2. Traditional style.
3. Made in the USA.
The first two aren't that hard to find but the third is next to impossible
There are some really good ones out there from other manufactures but Damn.....$700.00 plus is hard to swallow. When I was younger and not growing like a friggin Chia Pet, maybe. Now, I might outgrow it in a year or two so don't want to break the bank buying one.
Guess I'll just keep buy the low cost stuff and replacing it after a few years when all the seams start coming apart.

Main reason I bought Harley was fit ,second was price,
1/2 price sale. $250 for a quality leather jacket.With one year warranty. 3Rd was support H/D and dealer.I cannot buy online stuff does not fit this old body right,must try on first,especially leather for riding.

It's a shame H-D jackets aren't made in the U.S.A. Do you have to schedule an appointment with the service department for warrany work? Keep your maintenance records up to date.
