Bates are still made in the usa but C.A. is not like most of the U.S.
and all custom jacket companies i look at were at least 10 week + out
vanson 12 weeks

Sounds negative to me, since I'm a Californian and an American and am fiercely proud of being both, like everybody out here I know.
You have anything to say about this guy's jacket? Because that's what the thread is about.

A Schott isn't a fashion jacket. It's the original motorcycle jacket, designed off what WWII airmen wore. Now, because everyone from Brando to the Ramones have worn one, it's become an iconic American design. Still made in the U.S. of the best materials you can find. Including that HH of yours.
The prices are not much higher, or even on par, with the prices for the overseas made Harley jackets that don't really come close.
