Default Chicagoland Leather

Looking to get some chaps, gloves, and new boots for the upcoming season. Wondering where some folks get their leather in the Chicagoland area? I am in Naperville, so somewhere in the west burbs would be nice, but not necessary. Thanks.

There is Trophy leathers on Ogden Ave. Then you can check out all the HD Dealers as there are plenty of them. There is also a new local forum for cruisers if you care to check it out. You may be able to ask your question there and get some answers.

My "motorcycle" jacket I got at Salvation Army, of all places. Harley Davidson brand too boot! Plus, I didn't have to break it in. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

I ebayed a pair of gloves. Another were a gift, and I picked up a pair at a show.

I don't have chaps or a vest.

Probably not much help to anyone else.

jrlaidle,
The motorcycle show in Rosemont this Feb is also a great place to find deals on leather and accesories. The show is at the Donald E. Stephenes convention center 2/10-2/12

Jafrum.com is a great place on line, reasonable prices.
Short delivery time, beats most if not all the stores.
IMHO
