Please note I'm not trying to take anything from Harley. Most of my riding gear is Harley stuff and made in China. I think it's good to know there are a few options. Langlitz generally seems to have a good reputation.

If you don’t like or buy foreign items then…
Don't ever step into Wal-Mart because if you do you are a hypocrite.
Next time you buy a plane ticket make sure you are flying on a Boeing Jet because if not you are hypocrite.
Put your money where your mouth is, want to support the US made products be prepared to pay for it or shut your mouth (The shame of it is not all US made products are superior).
FYI
2011 Dodge Pickup trucks are going too be made in Mexico, on the same line as Nissan Titans. Victory is also moving their plant to Mexico next year!

As far as their jackets... I have never and will never buy one. Not so much because their made in China... BUT THEY'RE $500! WTF!
$500 FOR A FRIGGIN' JACKET? I don't think so, ain't happenin'. And I'm not buying that age-old scare tactic that they offer greater protection, so they're worth it. BULLCHIT!
I have a hard-enough time forcing myself to pay $175 for a generic, "real" leather jacket (with padding, vents, etc) made in America at swap meets. That HD emroidered logo on the back of the $500 jacket will not offer any more protection than your wife's "genuine" Coach purse. And both of those are purchased for the same reason... the need for a status symbol.
Some guys will spend $500 for those jackets, but bitch about the cost of good brake-pads, synthetic oil, and quality tires. WTF?!
