I don't have one, but since nobody is answering: Like most of the HD jackets, that one is good looking...but Chinese and expensive. Why not buy a higher quality US made jacket for less? Not hard to find.

Get a schott or something else American. Added bonus - you don't have HD written all over your back.

it's a harley jacket.. if you like it buy it, $300 isn't a bad price even for a chinese leather. i personally don't like the HD logo's all over it, but if you do go for it.

You can get basically the same style Jacket from Fox Creek for $412. Better quality, and made in USA.

If you like it, get it. It does not matter what others like or where it is made. Harley riding gear is top quality and worth the money in the long run in my experience.
