Default Fox Creek - WOW

Looked and looked locally for a vest, all I could find was HD stuff with big logos on the back (NOT) or cheapo made in Pakistan crap at the "leather store". While I really wanted to look at, feel and try on before buying there just wasn't any locally so taking a chance I ordered a FC Highway 21 vest on forum recommendations and because it had zippered hand pockets. The truck cometh today and wow..............very nice quality product. Made with the same (well, very similar) buttery soft leather as my FXRG jacket and their sizing choice to fit over the jacket was spot on - fits perfect I guess I know where to get chaps - haven't found anything I like locally there either.

Fox Creek does nice work, no doubt.

I have some of their lined chaps, a jacket, and a couple vests. Good leather.

Quick story, I hope!

Four of us from the northeast traveling through northwestern NC. I'm in the lead barreling down this nice, smooth, twisty road with three in my mirror. Next thing I know, only one in my mirror, WTF!

We turn around and find the other two parked in front of a little building we had passed. Fox Creek Leathers, FFS! Seems Greg had bought a set of saddle bags from them on-line, and had'nt noticed that they had shipped him TWO lefts until he mounted them on his bike for that trip. They were totally baffled by it but stood behind their word and made good later through the mail.

Nice company!

I have 3 jackets and two vests from them -- heavy top notch stuff. And as you experienced, their customer service has no peer either. You can pay more, but you won't get a better product anywhere.

They are only about 20 minutes away from the house so I'm headed up there this afternoon to pick up some chaps for my upcoming ride this weekend. Been by there dozens of times but never stopped. Looking forward to seeing their wares...

I'm lucky I live just a little over an hr. from them and have been to their shop several times and I can tell you 1st hand when you buy from them you are supporting a small family run business in rural Va.
