Default Fox Creek Jacket Help

I posted this is general too but it's not seeing as many views as this neck of the woods. You guys seem more responsive.


I am torn between which jacket I should get from Fox Creek. I like the BlackRock, Rebel, and McQueen. Right now I am leaning towards the BlackRock because of the thicker leather. Anyone have the above mentioned jackets? If so I'd love to hear the pros and cons. Thanks.

I got the commander last year for Christmas...best leather jacket I've every owned. Very heavy and very warm!!

I'd recommend ordering at least a size maybe two sizes bigger as I had to send mine back when I ordered what I'd normally wear.

Very happy with it

I was initially going to go with the Blackrock but found out that it has some padding in the elbows as well as a velcro tab that covers the zipper area at the bottom front of the jacket. Didn't really case for those things so I went with the Grayson.

While I didn't have a great experience with their service I will say that the the product is as good as everyone says. The leather is thicker than I expected and thicker than the Harley jacket I own. The leather is extremely soft as well. I can't imagine wanting anything thicker than this. I just got mine last week so can't comment on riding with it.

Been a long time customer of Foxcreek. I have an HD leather jacket ($hit) .
Bought the Foxcreek cordura jacket last year and love it seems a lot like the jackets that you are looking at. The zip in liners on FC's jackets have long elastic cuffs that really keep the cold out. I couldn't decide on the size so they sent me both sizes and covered return shipping on the one that didn't fit.
I will buy a FC leather in the future.

I don't think you can wrong with any of the FoxCreek Leather jackets. However, I have the vented Bomber jacket and the collar causes some interference when turning your head with a full-face or 3/4 helmet so now wishing I had gotten one of the models you are considering that don't have the bulkier collar. The quality can't be beat and their service is top notch too. Good luck in your decision.

Yeah I have a leather jacket now that has the collar flaps and I've grown tired of being hit in the cheek with them. It's also time for a better quality jacket as well. Anyone have input on the leather thickness?

I've had one of their Vented Racing jackets for over 5 years.Very heavy,but you don't notice it once you're wearing it.Customer service is excellent.I ordered a pair of gauntlet gloves for colder weather from them a few weeks ago,received them in a day or two.And "Made in the USA"!

My buddy rode from mid Florida to Fox Creek HQ in Va to get one of their jackets. Take a ride and decide for yourself. Not sure which one it is but weighs a ton and a fine jacket. The only jacket I have ever seen that beat the 40+ year old Bates that shrunk on me....

Heavy but very soft leather, it amazes people when they pick up the jacket and feel how heavy it is. I second the cs they provide, got the wrong size for Christmas and was leaving in a couple of days. They shipped the correct size to the address I was flying to and told me to ship the wrong size one back upon my return.

I don't have any of your choices in jackets. But I do have two vests, chaps, and the commander jacket. Best quaility for the buck, and have ALWAYS had great customer service. Cant go wrong with them.
