I have had the H-D jackets with no issues. I went with a Icon Hero in flat black this time. Figured if I was going to spend 400+ on a coat I should get what I pay for.

Nice to know but went to the HD shop were it was purchased...got Da! No help at all.
But I'll tell ya one thing this zipper will last a 100 years.

I bnought a HD Thunder Hill leather jacket 2 years ago and highly recommend it. Ordered through Zanotti and saved some $.
The HD jacket is as comfortable as a leather jacket I bought (and still wear) 20 years ago.

I like the looks of them (especially the Classic Cruiser), but they are half the quality/weight and twice the price of my Made in USA Schott Perfecto (I got it on a close-out sale). And Brando, Dean and the Ramones never wore a Made in China HD jacket. I figure I'd be an idiot to buy the HD one just for looks, unless they cut the price in half or less. I won't even pay the $150 for the Harley prestige jacket I like - the quality just isn't there for the money.
Interesting thing: Last weekend I went in Shoe Carnival lookign for some cheap shoes and they ahd 2 models of Harley Davidson boots on sale for $95 and buy one, get one half price. Then I went across the street to a place called "Brand name Liquidators" and they had one of the newer HD Made in China leather jackets on the rack for $109.
Is this a sign that things are not well for the BS "motor clothes" division?

Why would you buy a Schoot Perfecto jacket without built in protection (Light Armor) over a Harley riding jacket made for riding not just to be a Poser like your a Motorcycle rider.

Have a HD leather jacket, midweight, which took a good scraping when I had minor crash last year. Other than scratches in leather held up well. Lighter to wear especially in summer. Also own Bristol jacket. Weighs a ton but great quality.

If their quality is anything like it used to be, it'll last forever. I had an old "Cycle Champ" jacket (I think they're called traditional style now) back in the mid 70's. That jacket lasted until I gave it away (mine shrunk too 
) to someone in 1999. The only issue it had even then was the sleeve zippers wound up needing replaced due to the threads finally giving out.
Don't forget to check out what's available on EBay.
