Thanks guys. I've been buying my HD goods from http://www.bikerclothesforless.com/ and have had good experiences. This jacket is $420 shipped (no tax) too which is awesome.

The only other jacket I'm considering is the HD FXRG Textile jacket because it has a nice look, it's textile, more armor, AND has the removable liner.

Decisions!

 

Back in April/May of this year a guy who went by the name harleyheaven was selling HD jackets for unbelievable prices. Got a HD Road Warrior leather at just about 50% from the dealer pricing....searched it and found he has been shut down by HD.

 

Very nice looking jacket. Congrats on the purchase.

 

What would you spend that much money on?

Just curious because I see that comment all the time on this forum and I know that jacket will outlast a motorcycle, among most other things. I guess it's all relative.

 

I guess the point is that you can buy a jacket as good as or much better than anything HD sells for less than their jackets cost. I wouldn't spend that much on a jacket because I'd be throwing away money, since I can buy an excellent jacket for less. My Schott Perfecto was $250 brand new and no HD I've seen even comes close in quality (much less being US made). I can easily buy a slightly used one for a lot less than that - you just have to shop around.

 

Good luck on buying a brand new Schott Perfecto for $250 now.

 

Dang, just looked up the Schott jackets and they make most everything that Harley sells pretty inexpensive. They are probably quite well made, although I have zero personal experience with them, but they are REAL expensive.

Great jacket in the illuminator! Ride safe.

 

Very nice jacket!

 

Nice looking jacket. The good ones do cost some loot but are good quality. Get what ya pay for

 

I decided to pick up the non leather, rain resistant Illumination 360 jacket. It's the same design, however. I love it! Leather or non, they're both nice jackets.
