I'd be careful. I have seen an imitation Classic Cruiser jacket and other fake HD jackets and gear, for sale in Afghanistan - it sucked. I doubt Harley would put up with the company that actually makes their jackets selling them out the back door, as protective as HD is of their mark. These would probably end up being the same Pakistani BS I saw in Kabul.
Other than one T-shirt, I had all my fake asian Harley gear custom made to my specs. In that part of the world, counterfieting goods is a major industry and the one for which they have the most talent. Much of the fake stuff is made in China or Pakistan.

I wouldn't buy out of county clothing without already being familiar with the company.
When I was a GI in southeast Asia, the clothing we bought had inferior threads and would fall apart.

The only thing that makes me wonder is all the Harley jackets/coats ,shirts I have seen are made in China already. I was wondering if anyone has seen this site or ordered form it. Im thinking I wouldnt at this point.

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.
