I bought the speedster from leather up - "Removable inside quilted liner, and fully lined with mesh fabric lining". It is an extremely heavy leather coat, I'm not in PA. but it gets damn cold in Nebraska and it works great. For 89.95 + shipping it is a great buy - doubled elbows, shoulders it is heavier than any of my friends leather coats. I am very pleased with it. Went a size larger to insure sleeves were long enough as sugested.
I also bought my boots through them 59.95 with dual zippers, and my lugage bag item #067 for 79.95 - very pleased with all of it.
Will buy from them again - all three pieces for the same price most pay for just a coat...now if I wore the coat every day I would propably go the more expesive route - but since I just wear it in late fall and early spring I figure it will last long enough. Have used the lugage 3 times with no issues and wear boots all the time - they just keep getting more comfortable...my 2 cents....
Most of the jackets I've seen on their site do not inclue CE approved armor. do not have ventilation systems, do not specify the leather type and thickness, do not specify burst strength or stitching type. Nothing wrong with this just don't expect a $79 jacket to it to protect in an accident, or provide the fit and comfort of a $400 a brand name jacket from Vanson, Alpine Stars, Scorpion, RevIt, etc.
IMHO. Fox Creek is the best quality, customer service, prices in the industry. I've purchased 2-Jackets, 2-chaps, and 1-pr of gauntlets from them. They will let you return anything no questions asked. They even send the replacement befor you return the original, now thats Customer Service! The best Naked Leather I've ever owned and I've had quite a few jackets. Made in the USA and done right.
Leatherup has some good jackets. I have a mesh that I've had for two years and it works great. My heavy leather is from River Road, awesome jacket and great in the winter. also, check out allState leathers. Just got to Open road leathers and accessories.com. They have a lot of jackets at very fair prices and outstanding leather.
The hides are from the USA and after selection are sent overseas for processing. This is done because the chemicals and the process needed to breakdown and soften the leather are very restricted by the EPA. So rather than deal with EPA compliance, companies sub it out overseas.

Let some other country do it that's too poor to even care if the tanning process polutes the hell out of them. That's the problem with USA based companies. Rather than make the investment the EPA says they should make, they simply ship the work overseas. We know how to make the process clean, but it's expensive. Oh well.
i live in the Uk. i got all my stuff (jacket, waistcoat, chaps etc) from fox creek leather www.foxcreekleather.com in blue ridge mountains, Virginia. the quality is astounding. the customer service is also excellent. i would recommend them to anyone looking for quality leather that will last.
