Once again....

Attempting to decide which leather jacket to buy and your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I keep bouncing back and forth between the two following jackets which would be acquired through the internet:

HD Competition 2 - $360 delivered - Normally $470 + tax at the dealer

Foxcreek - Classic II - $384 delivered

Pros and cons of both??????

RE: Once again....

I have the Foxcreek Classic II. Custom fit for me. Quality is first rate, customer service number one. Foxcreek for me.

RE: Once again....

I gotta tell ya, after what I've learned from dealing with small companies here in the states that make their own products, here in the states.. I'm sold on hunting companies like that down for products now... even if I have to google. Love my new ironbags, love the license plate from bubbasbrakes..

So on leather jackets.. I'm gonna give Fox Creek the business when my current jacket wears out. For three reasons: 1.. made here in the states by a small company 2. looks like a superior product 3. these crash testimonials (which is most important.. how does the jacket protect you when you need it)

I like this one myself personally.. just for styling and the collar and the vents:

or I might go with the stripe..

RE: Once again....

I would go with the Fox Creek Classic but the one with the belt rather than the one you have pictured. I really like the traditional biker style jackets.

Regards,

RE: Once again....

Ive got the Fox Creek Classic I and the jacket it top notch, the leather is super thick and it is really comfortable to wear. Foxcreek has my vote.

I would go with Fox Creek or try to find a Vanson on close out somewhere (good luck with that one). But now I have an over abundance of jackets so I'll have to wait on the next one.

I have a Harley Torque jacket and like the way it fits. However, I like the looks of the Fox Creek jackets and the fact they are made in smalltown USA
