Some of the H-D isn't made in Pakistan it's made in Mexico. (and China)
Fox Creek is made in the U.S.A. and has a real warranty.
I'm sure your dealer is a wonderful person and he employs a lot of nice people but the folks at Fox Creek are nice folks too. And they make their own product and don't just resell someone elses.

Fox Creek....... made here. HD charges like they are made here but, from the slow boat they do come.............
We don't always have a choice regarding Made in China or not, but when I do have a choice....... well I buy AMERICAN.

FOX CREEK! I think I have looked at just about everything over the years, and NONE compare to the quality for the money! American made too! (I loved my jacket so much, I just "upgraded" and ordered a pair of their chaps! If its possible, they are even nicer than the jacket!!)

RE: HD Jacket vs Fox Creek Leather
Pine Tree -- I contacted Fox Creek regarding your comments aboveabout U.S.leather processing.This is their response:
[blockquote]
"Thanks for contacting us regarding this issue. Our leathers are chrome tanned and drum dyed by the leather supplier. We prefer this method because the leather is completely saturated and colored throughout. It is not uncommon for leather dye to “bleed” especially if the item is not dyed with the drum-dye process.
As for Pakistan making the Harley Jackets, we have customers who show us the jackets and their are tags in them that say "Made in China". The leather is very thin and "shiny", over processed and the quality is not near as nice." [/blockquote]
Therefore, Fox Creek leathers are processed in the preferable manner.
