HD FXRG Textile jackets for me and my wife.

Expensive but the best, warmest and most functional jacket I've had. Removable liner, waterproof, vented, lot of pockets, kidney belt if you use one and body armor.

Small Harley emblem on the front and can barely see Harley on the back of the jacket.

Had one that was made from buffalo, and wore it even after the lining got worn out and shredded. My friends couldn't stand it anymore and bought me a new one from a high-end leather shop. It's different from the old one, but very nice. The only thing wrong with it is that it looks "too new" and I feel like a newbie.

Langlitz for the cooler and/or less hot months and an older Joe Rocket Phoenix II for the hot months. The Langlitz is the Columbia padded pocket model and fits like a glove. It weighs a ton until it's on, then it fits like a second skin. I rarely ride without a jacket and don't feel too comfortable when I do. I don't know who said it first, but there's the old rider saying that states "dress for the fall, not the ride."

As leicafish said, "Langlitz you buy once."

I wear a Z Leathers jacket Made in USA! It has spine, elbow and shoulder padding. I rode on my forearm for about 50 yards once when a dink ran a stopsign and it barely scratched the finish on the jacket! I would HIGHLY recommend Z LEATHERS. Unfortunately, it is Kawasaki Green and has the word KAWASAKI stitched across the lower back...clashes mercilessly with the Yellow Harley. I know how important it is to "match" on a Harley and I have pledged to find a more appropriate, somewhat more "intimidating" HD Black jacket in the future!

I have two Schott cafe racer's. One is a new super heavy leather with the zip out liner. The other is vintage light weight bought used with no liner. I wear the light weight in the summer and the lined heavy weight in the winter. I also have an older (used) Vanson Enfield that is another heavy weight. I must say that the Vanson has it in terms of overall look, feel, and wear-ability.

Thanx for the Fox Creek and Brooks leather leeds! They both look like HIGH quality made in USA company's!

I think I might do a Brooks leather next!
