buy anything from hot leathers?
if so hows the quality?

 

I got one of my Jackets, Chaps and a couple pairs of Gloves from them back in 98.....still wearing them today, I always thought the quality wasn't the greatest...on the other hand, I've been wearing them for over ten years, They are still holding up very well and the price was right, around 60 for the jacket 40 for the chaps and 10 for the heavy winter gloves.

 

I bought a jacket from them a few years ago. The leather was fairly thick and the stitching is good. The only weak spot was the pocket zippers. Had to have them replaced. Great jacket for the money. Warm and durable.

 

I bought a jacket from them over the summer at Wildwood bike weekend. I was skeptical at first..$90 for a thick leather jacket? It has held up well so far...and for $90 if I get a few years out of it I will be happy. I'm sure there are nicer out there, but for the $ you cant go wrong.

 

I've bought a couple of things from them.

They are a huge vendor at every rally I've been too. So if I needed something they were there.

No complaints with any of their stuff. They are sort of middle quality, middle price range.

 

Have seen their stuff at most rally's...their leather seems a bit thin and the workmanship is so-so. LeatherUp stuff is far superior and you'll save some dollars as well.

 

thanks

 

if you want cheap thats as good a place as any

 

I'd like to recommend http://www.ussaddlebag.com/ chaps.
They are in the area for A hun and a half.
here are my reasons for purchasing from them.
1-they are handmade for you...in Mass.
2-they use 1 piece hides and they are a good thickness. not paper thin. Also one piece doesn't leak water. No seams.
3- drum barrel dyed...won't run on you in the rain.
4- in the rear, alot of chaps are lace-up. Not so with these. They buckle in the rear just like the front.
5- I have had mine going on 5 years now. They will last an easy dozen more.
Just my opinion.
