Default Hillside Leathers

I am interested in a Hillside leather jacket. The basic biker jacket Does any have one and how is their quality. It is hard to tell by looking at a picture on a website. It is a USA product.

I have their jean biker vest, nice thick leather, well made. I will be buying from them again. Bike Week Leathers is who I used, the prices were a little cheaper.

I have their denim style lace up side vest and their beltless classic jacket. Both are very thick naked leather 1.6 - 1.8 mm thickness. Can't say enough about the quality. The jacket I bought last year replaced a stolen Fox Creek and to me the quality is just as good. And I saved a couple of hundred dollars.

Like I told another guy on here, I have some leftovers from when I was dealing for Fox Creek (Same basic coats, I think. Different tag. Great quality) in Japan. I'll let 'em go much cheaper than Hillside, provided I have your size and style you like. Let me know if you're interested...

From what I understand Hillside and Fox Creek are very similar jackets, that are possibly made by the same company, with slightly different designs. Less expensive too.

Looks like great quality and how can you beat a lifetime warranty on a USA made jacket??

If it were me, I'd get the horse hide jacket. Best price I've seen on horse hide. IMHO, horse hide is the best material for a motorcycle jacket. Water won't destroy it.
