sportsmans guide has a nice looking police motor jacket that a dept. ordered and did not take. I think the price is around 75.00 bucks.

I have been looking for a jacket I have seen in photos before and since so many of you have mentioned FoxCreek here I checked them out and I think I may have found the jacket.
This looks like a great jacket, I may just have to get me one for Christmas now!

I think this Vented Racing Jacket is worth a good look.

Make sure when you pick out one, you read everything on the inside make sure the shell is 100% leather, also whichever you pick ArmorAll has a great leather cleaner/conditioner that I use on all my leathers its cheap and works great, the bugs just slide off.

a lot depends on weather you can buy off the rack or not... I am a short rider and I have never found a jacket off the rack that fits with a ****... With my short arms, its been a bitch.. I needed a jacket and the HD jackets were all too long in the sleeve THEN I found http://www.johnsonleather.com/ .. Allen was able to custom make both my wife and my jackets and the fit... that was 1997 and we are still wearing them.. they just keep getting better - since then I have had allen make our chaps and he then came out with a perferated leather jacket - another custom jacket - and no more money than a HD jacket -- one of the best 'buys' I have ever done.. A jacket is a piece of saftey clothing and should fit and last... Mine does..


As already posted - Fox Creek - IF you can buy off the rack.. good jackets and great pricing. I have one of their two tone vests (no arms, fits great, lol) I love the vest

If you really want an HD jacket, a few EBay sellers (including St Paul HD dealer) sometimes have good prices on jackets ... usually leftovers from prev year, etc. I was set to buy an inexpensive jacket from leatherup as I've bought other things from them in the past but then I decided I might spend a little more for a Fox Creek one. Well, turns out the dealer I bought the bike from gave me a $50 GC and had a $400+ jacket marked down to $270; so for $220 I bought the jacket ... good thing too as it was ~36 degrees every morning this week (cold for Alabammy). I really like this jacket and it was made in the USA with imported leather ... lol!

I have had great luck with Fieldsheer. Crash tested and held up nicely. Cant be beat the quality for the price. Give them a look. Many places are closing out old stock right now. Iron Pony, Motorcycle Superstore etc.
