Is Harley leather jackets good quality ?
I'm not a real big fan of paying for a name brand, but I tried on a Harley jacket at the dealer and it fits perfect.
Should I get it or would I be better to get a different brand in the same price range ?
It's 340$

But:
1. Harley Davidson isn't much of a "name" in leather and for less than $340 I can easily find a real name-brand American leather jacket, like Schott.
2. Compare the HD jacket to a better quality one like Schott and you'll discover it's way too thin and soft to be a motorcycle jacket.
3. Never pay more for Chinese Leather than American - we may suck at making some things, but nobody makes better leather products.

Duh, I saw the city name and assumed that was PA.
The only downside to Foxcreek full leather jackets for warm climates is they are VERY thick and that can be an issue even with vents in July and August.
I wear a Foxcreek vest during the summer in NC, it is very thick but also allows good airflow, a nice trade off here given the heat.

Don't worry it's not gonna fall apart. Like I mentioned in my previous response I have 4 of them. One is heavy as can be for winter, one is light weight with air vents for spring, fall, and summer. one is a baseball style for anything goes and one is a textile for rain. So far none have let me down and each has served their purpose well.

My wife just got an FXRG jacket brand new from the dealer in the discount rack listed for just over $600, but we picked it up for around $250. Removable armor, removable inner liner that doubles as a light jacket, pockets everywhere... its really nice.
FXRG gear is probably the only jacket I would pick up from the dealer. The rest is overrated IMHO.
I have a Firstgear Scout jacket I picked up on clearance a couple years ago that has many of the features of the FXRG stuff. I think I paid around $150 for it. My only error was I bought a size too big, but it doesn't bother me much since I only use it during the cold months and usually have a layer underneath.
If I had to pick up another heavy jacket, my first choice would be Fox Creek (if I could find one used/on clearance).
