I like my Chaos jacket. Picked it up used for a really good price. Could never afford a Harley jacket, and couldn't resist. Nice, thick, let's slide down the road leather. Overpriced new, but a nice jacket none the less.

I picked up an inexpensive jacket from Leatherup.com which I am very happy with except for the end of the sleeve was too loose so I took it to a shoe repair guy who threw some stitches and a rivet in each sleeve and now it's golden. Seems to be just fine at the waist. It's the Cool Rider jacket with vents on the front and back.

It's the one thing I don't like about ordering online though ... not trying it on first.

If my budget was better I would have gotten a Fox Creek jacket for sure.

I understood perfectly also.

Interesting point though. My wife always knows what I mean when I say "get me a beer"... Yet it works so much better as a question like, May I have a beer please? Both times she knows what I want, yet an actual question works so much better. Don't you think?

Sentence structure and those darn question marks are so important sometimes. Wouldn't you agree?


Nomsayin???

Yeah...I get it. Declarative, interrogative, exclamatory, imperative. The real isue isn't sentence structure, its why you felt the need to comment on it instead of...I don't know...maybe offering some help which is what people do here. Unless, of course, I just missed an attempt at humor. In which case I apologize.

I looked all over for the right jacket and finally found it..at the dealer of course. Paid the price for the HD brand, but I got the fit and the collar that I liked. Plenty of air vents too which I appreciated when I rode down south this year.

Which one did you get? I had tried on the reflective skull jacket some time ago. If I recall, the cuffs were ok. Just a little long in the waist.

Langlitz look good. Must be pretty expensive to have one made.

Same thing happened to my Fox Creek about six months ago. I just got a Milwaukee and I think I may like it even better. The Fox Creek was a very nice jacket but this Milwaukee one fits me better and doesn't seem to ride up on the neck like the original poster talked about. The Fox Creek did that some.
