It's leather, and Harley, therefore its MADE IN CHINA!!!!

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?

Japanese. Reading makes for much more informed ranting.

I was making a point by being facetious, Dynomutt. Sorry to insult your Harley jacket...

That's not really the info I've seen about Vanson lately - word has been they aren't making much of anything in the USA anymore and they import from El Salvador.

From Vanson:

We have been working hard to bring you new styles and updated versions of previous styles for this years riding season. These items are are all being produced in our new facility in El Salvador.

I'd trust Chinese quality control over some Vanson sportbiker crap from El Salvador.

Truth is, I wear Schott leather jackets that were made in New York and cost less than a Vanson or Harley, if you shop around.

I wonder if that bike moo's at the cows ?

The Vanson leathers factory tour video is misleading. It makes you believe that everything is still US made ... and makes one wonder how old this video is. It's not a bad watch at 6:00am, and you have nothing else worthwhile to do with 22 minutes of your life.
