Harley has some nice jackets but they ruin it by plastering their name and logos all over it.

All Harley leather coats we have seen have been made in China

Does that make sense?

Mine is not.

I have a vanson comet. A fine quality heavy leather jacket. Some of the cheaper products are made overseas.

Yes it makes sense because of the environmental laws in the US
and cheap labor in China.
BTW did you know that the hides used in HD jackets
come from Europe (Italy).
The reason is that they don't use barbwire around meadows
so the hides remain undamaged.

Not to hi-jack the thread, but 95% of Harley Chrome also comes from China

Who would have thunk it

Another vote for Fox Creek. I have two of their jackets and they're great quality at a good price.

Just checked out the Fox Creek website. I think I want a new Jacket, vest and some deer skin gloves. HDFourms has been one of the most expensive websites I have ever been on.
