I was looking at a MotoClothes leather jacket and before I drop that kind of cash I was looking to find out if it's good stuff. It fits nice and the arms have that nice bend in them. I looked at some cheaper jackets and the arms never are never right, you reach for the bars and they pull up short.

Never heard of MotoClothes, but my advice is don't buy cheap riding gear. Get the best you can afford and it should last and more importantly protect you when needed.

I've heard good stuff about it. I can't afford to buy it but, I hear it works well.

HD branded jackets might be good stuff but problem is that it looks like a Nascar drivers outfit

If it's FXRG, it's top notch gear. The other stuff is OK but, more of a fashion statement.

They are well made and durable. If it fits, feels good, and looks good, go ahead and buy it.

Ditto. Great customer service and they use heavy leather.

Most of the people that pick up my jacket and leather pants from FC say that they're not expecting to pick up 20 pounds of dead cow.

It's great leather. Fits well, and the more you break it in the better it feels. The only (possible) complain I have is that I've worn my jacket now for a little less than a year and the black is fading into brown (or the dye is just coming off). But I ride every day and wear my jacket almost every time I ride, so I'm not surprised that it's changing color.

Well....I own 3 HD leather jackets (one is a Billings, one is a Race jacket and one is a Speed jacket)

they're excellent jackets, somewhat heavy and fit well for riding purposes....been recently to a HD dealer and I was checking out the new leather...and in my opinion, compared to the older ones...the leather is now somehow softer than it used to be...not my personal liking, though...
