Just got a Fox Creek Leather jacket (the Classic 1 model). I ordered it in mid-February and was informed my size was out of stock and would have to be manufactured, which would take 3-6 weeks. Well, it took more like 11 weeks (during which time their customer service kept me informed), but last Friday, the jacket finally arrived, and wow, it was worth the wait. Nicest leather jacket I've ever owned, and I have to say I'm amazed the price isn't higher. Very thick (yet pliable) leather, superb quality construction, nice features, and made in the USA.

Highly recommended for anyone in need of a leather jacket.

Thanks to all who attended!

Do you keep one bullet left for yourself, for when it's all over and done?

I also got a Fox Creek leather jacket recently. Mine is the Vented Reflector Jacket. A little big (I should have gone for the 42) but it is a truly awesome jacket. Looks and feels great, especially on a Black Sprint, and, although it does not come with armour, is confidence inspiring in that the leather is so thick it would take a very long slide to wear through. The venting is better than on my textile Motordri jacket and feels cooler even in an OZ summer.

I doubt there are many around who make jackets in the same way anymore.

I have a black leather vest from Fox Creek, size 54 long and one year old. I can't wear it anymore, I've dropped 60 lbs and it doesn't fit. Great quality and I wish I had another that would fit!

I've have had a FCL Vented Racing Jacket for 7 years now. Like a previous post stated there isn't any armour in my jacket but the leather is thick enough that I have always felt protected from road rash when I have it on.
Also it's worth noting that these products from Fox Creek Leathers are all 100% American made with all American materials. And a lifetime warranty to boot!

I highly recommend this company,

Brian
