No, mine were all different style, but they all retailed new at the Harley dealership $450-$575 new. So I got all mine half priced, give or take a few $.
If you like this jacket, its the one you really want, I'd recommend you go ahead and buy it.
I have been looking around for a new leather jacket that will be comfortable to wear during the summer months. I like the Men's HARLEY 3-in-1 Reflct. ROAD WARRIOR Leather #98138-09VM which is $450. I have had many leather jackets(costing allot less), but not one from HD. Are they really worth the price?
Thanks
I have one and I love it its real nice jacket very comfortable and yes the do cost a lot

I agree that HD jackets are generally of good quality but their price is the single biggest motivator for me to shop around. Ever since I joined this forum Fox Creek has always received good reviews and they'll custom tailor one to your specifications. Do yourself a favor and call Fox Creek and tell them your'e looking for a summer weight leather jacket - I bet they have what you want or can offer further suggestions. If they don't have it I doubt that its made.
i have two jaclets , one from about 1979 and the other i bought in 1992 ( the other one surunk) from wilson leather and it'[s soft and still looks new after all these years. i oil iy up once or twice a year. just can't see letting HD stick it in my *** for their crap.
Two things I wanted was firstly a heavy thick leather jacket that would protect me and secondly I wanted it to say Harley on it. It says harley across the back too but its not in your face. Checks all the boxes. It was $750 CDN funds and I don't care!
i have one. love it. i like the name harley on it but i like low key. quality and life time warranty on it. to me, its a life time investment so ill blow the 500 bucks. after all i just dropped 24k on a bike.
A good quality jacket has a low number of large leather panels. Jackets with a lot features such as map pockets have many small panels. Many panels=many seams. Seams break when you go down. Vanson is the brand I went with. Very heavy leather. The best feature is it is assembled in the riding position making it extremely comfortable. It has some adjustability to help prevent "shrinkage." There are zip down lining panels that then allow air flow through the perforated front panels for warm weather. Vents in the elbows allow air in and vents in the back allow the air out so the jacket does not balloon. Big price but big quality. Made in USA. Very surprised that Vanson not mentioned in thread!
