What you can do is buy a nice patch at a harley dealer send it to Fox Creek with the jacket after you make sure it fits and instead of having a jacket exactly like 4 million other people, you will have a great jacket that looks like what you want it to be. Actually someone may be right in your area that can do it. The whole idea of patches on jackets was to personalize them not clone yourself.

As for sewing patches onto leather, try your local Malls and find the asian owned tailor or shoe shop. We have a local one that does alterations for all the cloths people buy in the department stores there plus shoe repairs. They easily sew all my patches though the years, often within an hour of waiting and quite reasonable too. The townie type american owned shops will charge you big time, or won't even do it but the asian owned stores seem to do it all well.

I have an FXRG and I have ridden down to below 33 degrees F with nuthin but a T-shirt on underneath And I was toasty! The liner can be removed and with vents that you can open I have also ridden with it in the 80's without overheating.

I got the FXRG but had my Texas Dealer order it from up north, it was thicker and it also zipped to the FXRG pants to make a suit. Tested the "rain proof" twice in heavy weather and performed EXACTLY as advertised (with the pants) haven't used the rain suit except in warm weather since.
