Leather Jacket
#21
If ya got the money and can afford the price tag, spend on....Unfortunately I have to live on a budget and got an Excelled jacket for $65 at the Navy Exchange.....That was in '84 but the jacket still sees service when the temp creeps below 45-deg.....Only YOU can make that decision!

I bought my leather jacket at an indie shop 15-20 years ago. It's a basic no-famous-name one and it has served me quite well over the years. I think it was around $100. After looking at LegendaryUSA I feel really cheap.

Back in ancient history, Excelled leather was the way to go......Don't even know if the brand is still alive nowadays but the jacket and me still are....But in all seriousness, get what suits your style/budget and go with it!

Don't think I'd buy a $32 coat unless I was able to take a look at it. Hell, maybe it's a steal. My first leather coat was a Wilson. My second a logoed HD. The Wilson was much better quality and much lower price. It's my preferred winter coat.
Matter of fact don't think I'd ever buy a coat I couldn't try on first, even foxcreek. Don't want to be bothered with having to return it, even if they have a liberal return policy. Just me.

Got mine at a discount store, kind of like a flea market type place. Heavy as hell, good zippers and snaps, and well designed. (tight zipper sleeve cuffs, belt around waist, good double flap design to keep the wind out) Cost $100

Don't know if you are serious or not but I would not be surprised. I don't know if it makes much difference to buy a product made in a foreign country by foreigners or buy a product made in the USA by foreigners. I guess I need to look for the union label so at least the foreigners would be legal.

I have a heavy, leather bike jacket that's great for cold weather riding, but really pretty much sucks in the summer. I wanted a nice leather jacket for warm weather, so, I went to Leatherup (because I always see their ads here p ot says 50% off Harley boots, but they don't actually have any Harley boots - but, that's another topic).
Anyway, I found this jacket and it looks like exactly what I want. There are some good reviews on it, so I ordered one (haven't got it yet - comes Tuesday). They have a lot of other choices as well, and the prices are very reasonable.
