Actually, if you fall down a lot, it may very well last you a lifetime.

Mind me asking how much your Langlitz cost.

They're very coy on their website.

BTW Harley FXRG (Fukking eXpensive Riding Gear) is even more fukking expensive in the UK.

£600 for my favourite, the mid weight leather.

I got one in as new condition for about £125 on ebay

Some dealers discount them online but check your size by trying one on at your local dealer first.
That may sound like restating the bleeding obvious, but don't ask how I know it's a good idea

Well my wife and daughters always says I'm a label *****. So I went to the Harley stealership and bought one with the name Harley Davidson down both arms and across the lower back. I'm telling you this thing fits me like a glove with room left for a hooded sweater if I want. I went to the flea market and look at the 59-100 dollar jackets and none of them compared to this baby. I paid $476.00 at the stealership and its worth every penny to me. It has air vents in front of both arms and a large air vent across the bottom back. Theres a pull cord in both front pockets to open and close the vent in the rear. I like the Fox Creek jackets online but I don't want to take the chance of getting the wrong size, but I do pland to visit them in the furture. Thanks for all the help everybody.

I was in the market for a new jacket also. Went to Harley Dealer to check them out and the are all made in China and $400+. I went on eBay and got a slightly used Fox Creek for $150 and then found a Schott Perfecto classic for $100 for a spare.
I was going to buy a new Fox Creek but $150 who can refuse. I talked to there Customer service and they told me not to worry about size if it is not right they will ship another size. They pay for the shipping both ways so it is to there advantage to get ehte size right.
Still wiating for my ebay stuff in mail. Per another poster Fox Creek is IMO if buying new the only way to go. Fox Creek are $400+ just like Harley,better quality then HD and Made in USA.
Do not know where or by who in USA and really do not care just know they are not made in China or in another country. Fox Creek has excellent customer service and offer a lifetime garentee on jackets and on most of their made in USA products. Call Fox Creek check out there website and find out for yourself.

If your on a budget check out leather up .com real low prices and good quality ,and no they are not made in the U S A, but are decent. I have bought 2 leather jackets in the past 40 years the first from Harley,and the second from Leather Up.Com Leather up was a better deal for just as good quality.
