If you want an HD logo for your jacket, sew on one of the patches sold at the dealer.

While looking at the HD coats, check out the other products in the store: HD has a great line of coffee, popcorn, jerky, pet products, jewlery, home decorations, etc. along with clothing and oh yeah bikes. ;^)

Well put. Fox Creek here also. I especially agree with the billboard statement. I love my bike and am proud to own it, just makes me feel like a rolling commercial. I don't usually wear t-shirts with large prints on them either. Just my personal preference and I don't begrudge anyone who does were an HD jacket. Most of them are pretty sharp. I would ride with ya' regardless of what you wear.

I have 3 different HD jackets for different temps. I got all them onsale, on line for 25-35% off sticker price. I just got the HD Camo leather(I think they call it Survailance jacket) and it is so sweet. I have never seen another company with Camo leather.

Harley leather is top quality. If you want a jacket that will last as long as your Harley, spend the money, few ever regret it.

As long as its on the discount rack. I don't think I'd pay full price for anything. I did find a jacket that I liked a lot though.

Just try to imagine that if you buy an american jacket, you will help employ an american worker, who, being in this country, will spend his/her earnings on some things that are at least sold in the USA. When the **** hits the fan there is a much better chance that that persons son will be in the same foxhole with your son. Communist Red China... say it three times to yourself and tell me you don't get it. There isn't much left to say. They don't want to be friends, they want you to work for them. They will own us if we can't figure this out.

I have an HD leather jacket and chaps. I love-em. They are perfect. I wouldn't want anything else.

I paid about twice as much as they are really worth. But I like-em!!

Three years ago purchased a Leather Jacket made in Turkey for less than $90. Been through; snow, rain, sleet and dust storms and still looks great.

Agree about foxcreek, have their chaps and top quality.

In my opinion, HD jackets are one of the few thing that really are worth it. Great quality on an item you should not skimp on. The jackets they sell are very good. I have owned two HD jackets and they are absolutely on my "i do not regret buying list".
