IS this for real??? Harley leather for $165. 00

There isn't much that's not made in China anymore. I just found my $400 leather HD jacket I have(along with countless other HD crap)is made in China. I buy all my apparel from reputable HD dealerships & there isn't anything that ain't Chinese or another asian country. HD outsourced to China years ago to buy low & sell high(pretty much HD's MO, as usual). Not only is the gear outsourced, a lot of HD's accessories for bikes are slant-eyed.
I think when it comes to "Made in China", there's different quality levels between manufacturers. Harley probably uses a factory with better quality components for whatever, & then there's the factories for other products that employ a bunch of 7yr olds or use turd for product that you wouldn't even use to wipe your azz.

I bought an Arlen Ness jacket in Japan a few years back. It was made in China and wondered if it was legit or a fake. I actually ran into Arlen at the Builders Breakfast in Sturgis and we had an interesting talk about where he has stuff made. Turns out the jacket was legit. I got a hell of a deal on it as it was XXL and nobody in Japan could wear it (too big!)...

I'm baffled why people are still buying H-D labeled goods that are clearly marked "Made In China". I mean seriously, with all the amazing leathers that are made in this country (Fox Creek for example), who is still buying this chinese stuff? I'm not saying its a low quality product when its genuine and made to H-D specs, but come on already.
