Fox Creek Leather has an incredible product.

I started with there chaps, but when I laid hands on them and saw the quality I went back and bought a vented jacket and vest. Far and away the highest quality leather I have seen anywhere.

weren't animals that make leather sacrid in Japan....or was that India (Harleys made there also)?
I have a leather jacket made in Pakistan. Just happy to buy something from a military ally!

C'mon harley, Vanson is made in the good ole USA, 10 times better than your chinese leather, and costs about the same.

Figure it out people. Leave the chinese crap on the showroom shelf. They'll get the hint sooner or later.

BTW, if a harley jacket used to cost $500 made in the USA, and it now costs $550 made in china, WTF?

Yes, leave the China Davidson crap on the shelf. Here is a good alternative:

OK...in the way that Russia is a military ally, I guess. When you get down to it, I'm pretty sure China is more of an ally than Pakistan. Pakistan is more like that friend that will do anything for you... as long as you hold a gun on him.

Well I do not know who makes the best leather products now, but that bike is a cool piece of art. Amazing amount of work and detail, no matter who made it, or where.

OK, You want US made.... I found these guys when I started riding back in 96 because I have short legs and arms and got tired of tring on HD jackets and the arms and legs being way too long and for the cost I was seeing at the HD dealers, I wasn't happy... Then I found Johnsons leathers in SF

I can't swear where they get their leather from but the clothing is made right there in their shop... for about the same cost at the Harley dealers, I got a jacket custom made that actually fit me and then got chaps and later on, I got a perferated jacket for warm leather... thats been over 10 years ago and the leater jacket and chaps just get better looking with age...
