RE: leather jacket??
Dude, my OL talked me into going to our local Wilson Leather outlet. I had 57 bucks with me and wanted a leather vest. I left there with a REALLY nice leather biker jacket with change to buy a soda. I couldn't believe it! Good luck

The fox creek is better quality,...but I can't afford them,....it doesn't stay cold here very long anyway,..so I get my leathers fro Leatherup.com too. The quality is O.k.,..but not great,.......when I buy a jacket/chaps,..I figure I'll get a couple or three years out of em,..then they'll need replacing from broken zippers,.......torn stitches,..etc.,......but ,....ya kinda gotta do what ya can afford.
Like I said,..I only need leathers for maybe 8 weeks a year,.....so might be a different case for you,.....if I was going to rely on them in a really cold part of the country,....I'd probably invest in the best set I could find.......

Langlitz is the best motorcycle leather money can buy. Handmade in a small shop by folks that have doing it for a very long time. I've had a Joe Rocket for many years and it has been great. I will be getting a Langlitz by the end of summer.

I did a search for leather jacket but didn't see much.
I'd like to buy a new leather jacket. I currently have a pretty ratty looking RiverRoad jacket.
I don't really want to have aHarley Davidson advertisement acrossmy back.
Whereis agood place to buy a nice leather riding jacket. Do you guys have a manufacturer you prefer.

I know it's a Victory jacket but I had this
patch sewed in place of the Victory patch.For $150.00 It's a pretty good deal. $7.00 for the HD patch and $3.00 to sew it on. Sizes are limited.
