Resurrecting this thread - this is interesting, the URL on the Foxcreek site does contain "leatherworks" in it, so I'm suspicious.
However - [ the L, W dimensions are different between the two ] (Edit: nevermind, they're the same - the mystery continues), and they do look a bit different - especially the buckles.

The first clue in that it is a Leatherworks bag is that on the Foxcreek website, if you go to luggage, then view all, it's listed under, "Leatherworks Saddlebags". As far as I know they sell some of their own stuff like jackets and vests, but other stuff is reselling leather goods from other manufacturers.
I do have to say that I had good service when I ordered a pair of Chippewa boots from them a few years ago. Not the cheapest I could find on the internet, but at least I got prompt service (unlike another, cheaper retailer I tried first).

Boy was I duped.
I didn't like the way the bottom straps were fastened to the inner pocket so I ripped them out and called FoxCreek for 2 replacements. well I got them today and the return address is
The Leatherworks
188 Frank west Cir #C

I was told these straps were being shipped from Foxcreek's factory. Now I find out the bag is nothing more than a Leatherworks bag at a higher markup. Here I thought I was helping the local economy by paying extra. Fool me once, never again.
what I am doing is putting 1 1/4" diameter vinyl tubing fitted over the swingarm frame where the straps will be. I think this will stop any wear factor and make a tight fit.

I still say Garage Leathers for the win.
Not some re-badged mass produced stuff...
