I am all for keeping money in are local shops but they wouldn't match the price. At 309 otd for a reflective skull leather jacket that's hard to beat.

While I try to avoid buying Made In China stuff from my local dealer I do know he will price match any legitimate quote I bring him. I agree good to keep the local guys in business when possible.

I have to admit the price difference between any other country and the USA is significant. However, after researching comparable products, reading several reviews and speaking with people on this forum, I went with Fox Creek Leather for my jacket and gloves. I did spend more, but I got what I paid for and invested in the USA too.

Good luck with your purchase.

Well it arrived today. They told me ten days it was here in 7days. Well it did arrive in a chinese package. But it has all the labels and tags. Couldn't find any defects or any thing wrong with it and it fit like a glove. Can't wait to see what fox creek can put out.

I'll say it again FOX CREEK! Quality American made product you will not be disappointed! I can believe people would even consider the cheap Chinese junk Harley sells. I have and older Harley made in USA jacket and even it doesn't come close to the quality of Fox Creek and it was twice as much.

Did some checking on these guys (www.happarel.com) before placing an order. No address or number given on their websie (except that they're located in Torrance, CA). Nothing comes up in that town though.

According to Godaddy, their website is registered to:

Administrative Contact:
Name : Mason Swan
Organization : liu xing
Address : 310 W 47th St
City : Kansas City
Province/State : MO
Country : Kansas City
Postal Code : 981002
Email : support@happarel.com

I'm going to my dealer.
