Default Fox Creek Leather Jacket

Anybody have one? How is the quality and fit? They look pretty nice and seem to have good reviews.

I am hellbent on finding a American made jacket I can wear for the next decade. Looked at a couple Vansons but like this better. This is the one I have been eying up, what do you think?

Am sure you will find many threads on Fox Creek but just answer your thread I don't think you can find anything of better quality for the price..

Don't have a full jacket but I have a vest and it's very well made. Very good people to deal with too. Always a bonus when you call Customer Service and the person actually speaks clear English!!!!

Have a pair of their chaps and the quality is fantastic. And I will buy my next jacket from them that is for sure.

i would look at schott leathers, same price range and better quality IMO. union made in the USA.

you can typically find them cheaper than what's listed in the actual schott store, you can use the search function to find a dealer.

foxcreek is good stuff too, i have a belt and gloves but the jackets just weren't for me.

I initially ordered the vented racing jacket, however the collar gouged my neck while sitting. The classic II is much better imo. ordered it without the epulats (leather straps on the shoulders). Fox Creek's quality and customer service is second to none!

Their stuff is the cats *** but their heavy duty! I have the vented racing jacket and with the liner out it still weighs 30 pounds. I also have chaps and gloves from them and with it all on I can ride in freezing weather with no issues. That said even with all the vents open on the racing jacket I CAN NOT ride with this jacket in the summer!!!!! HOT HOT HOT!!! It has to below 60 before I can wear it.

Customer service is the nines as well!!!!

I looked at these too but nothing really jumped off the page at me, looks like a great product though.
