I know one guy who bought a jacket from them.

He said it was inexpensive, I thought it just looked cheap.

Just sayin.

Hot Leathers stuff is pretty crappy - I see it in stores a lot and once bought a set of their chaps, on sale, but sold them again without ever wearing them.

If their jackets cost more than $30, I can get a good jacket for less. I wear a nice, very heavy, US made Schott to work, when it's cold (I work in an office - it's a nice looking jacket) - it cost me $30. I also have a US made Excelled motorcycle jacket that cost me $30. Why buy some Pakistani Hot Leathers junk that will cost you more?

EDIT: yeah, I just looked at the site - $80-150? I can buy MUCH better quality motorcycle jackets all day long on Ebay for that.

I stopped in the Hot Leather store not to long ago and it just so happened that everything in the store was half off till noon! I bought some shirts, gloves, vest, wallet, patches, and glasses. I checked out chaps and jackets, junk!! Not even for half off!!!!

I bought one at Outer Banks Bike Week and I'm sure I won't win a Harley fashion contest but I like it. Remains to be seen if it holds up but it seems pretty decently constructed and the price was right.

Not quality stuff. You have to shell out a few buck for quality. kerr leathers, $$$$, but well worth the money. You will have it forever.

+1 Not sure of the name of the one I got but , Its heavy and decent enough for the amount of time I actually wear one. By no means the quality of a Harley or other high end jacket. But woth the $99 I spent to keep me warm on the really cold days my HD Denim/Armored jacket won't do.
