Default Looking for LEATHERS.......

I have some Pakistan leathers now. There OK, but I have been looking at the Fox Creek website. It sure sounds like I need new leathers, doesnt it? Before I make any purchase, are there any other American made leathers out there? You guys that have the Fox Creek stuff, are they as nice as they look? I like the way they describe them "Buttery Soft".

I don't have the Fox Creek leathers, but what I do have is the Street and Steel line that Cycle Gear sells. They are lined and straight from the shop are real soft leather. I am happy with em and got chaps for $90 and Jacket for $159. Hope this helps you out.

I prefer leather pants to chaps....Keeps your butt warm and protected. I have Joe Rockets. Very high quality, but they are Pakistan mfg.

I have a pair of Fox Creek Leathers chaps and like their website, they are super soft and yet thick. I was very impressed with the quality of them, and I hope to get a jacket from them probably next spring when I get back from deployment.

I've got the classic II jacket and the chaps. I was suprised at the quality, it was even better than I expected. Yes they are the real deal.

Check out Langlitz Leathers. They are expensive, but they will be the last set you ever need to buy.

I bought a jacket from Fox Creek for my wife....... ease of ordering, sizing, and quality exceeded our expectations..... in the process of ordering her some chaps from there....... when i replace my "cheap" chaps I'll do the same ....... I don't think you can go wrong with the guarantee !!!! Fox Creek gets my vote.

There's a place in Minnesota, I believe, which makes custom chaps made to fit your measurements. Quality is excellent, and of course the fit can't be beat. They come in two weights, but the "light" is the heaviest chap I've ever seen. If you are interested, I will find the website. You just call them with all of your measurements.
