Be carefull if you buy leather a jacket from these people. I ordered one size bigger as suggested and had to return. Ordered 44 and it took a 48, plus it cost me $40.00 TO EXCHANGE. I wear a 42 in other jackets. I will admit it is the heavest and best looking jacket I have ever owned, also the best quality. Just helpfull advise not a complaint.
Keep the leather up and your back to the sun.
I never had to pay to return anything to them. I ordered a size that was too small(yes they seem to size small) and the cross-shipped me a new jacket and took the old one back no questions.
Very high quality - a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. plus a 'live' person actually answers the phone! What a novel idea!
I'm on my second Fox Creek leather and love them. USA Made (a rarity today) fantastic customer service (another rarity) and yea, you need to order 2-3 sizes bigger then a normal street jacket. But in the event you order wrong, they are very good about taking back and replacing them and their sizing charts are off by two full sizes in my opinion. You want to order one size bigger just because it's a bike jacket (and you will want to wear it over warmer clothes) and in combination with the sizing chart being off, you really need 2 sizes bigger most times bare minimum. I normally wear like a size 50 in a suit jacket or XL in a casual street jacket but took a 56 from Fox Creek. The vests run short, so consider ordering a "long" version from them. You do pay the return shipping charges.
I've ordered from Fox Creek twice - once for my vest & once for my chaps. Again, +1 HDForums, because this was where I was first referred to them. They were great - they sent me an e-mail asking for additional measurements, and I did it while I was on the phone with a real person. They told me up-front everything (I had some custom work done to my chaps, and they said before they did, the wanted me to know I can't return custom stuff) before I ordered, too.
I'm curious as to why you had to pay an extra $40.00. Did you go from a "reg" to a "tall" ? That would account for an extra charge.
My original purchase (2 years ago) was a jacket for me and one for My Wife. My Wife's was a perfect fit but I thought mine was too small so I called them and they shipped me a larger one, by the time I finally figured out that the first one was actually the correct size.... I had 3 jackets (not including My Wife's) at my house. The only $$ I was out was for return shipping. My Son ordered a jacket from them in Dec. and needed the next larger size and again no extra charge.
These folks are great to deal with and have an excelent product.
