Default Leather jacket?

Anyone know where to buy a good quality leather jacket besides HD? I can't see spending 400.00+ on a HD jacket.

www.leatherup.com I have purchased a number of items including a couple of leathers; great quality. They are great to deal with as well; they accept exchanges for no charge; they'll take a return too.

I have purchased leather items from Jamin Leather out of Myrtle Beach - they are actually outside the city limits.

http://www.leather.com/motorcycle/de...le_jackets.htm I picked up a jacket from them 10 years ago and it has been great. I still wear it almost everyday. Made in the USA

Foxcreek has some good stuff, and it's priced accordingly. Leatherup offers some less expensive options, and I've been pleasantly surprised with their quality. I know it's from out of country, but sometimes $$ is the driver on some purchases.
