I too find it hard to believe nobody has spoken up about the brand of leathers in question. And on this forum at that! Lol

Don't know about Milwaukee leathers, but you might want to check Leatherup.com - yea, it's not as good as Fox Creek, but the price is right and you get good value for your $$$. See the leatherup.com thread in this forum.

I have milwaukee leather trooper model boots and one of their jackets. Let's put it like this, I sold my HD jackets when I got the Milwaukee jacket.
Great stuff, great price!

I have a Milwaukee jacket and chaps, and have had 4 riding seasons from them so far. They're alright. I haven't had any quality issues at all. My wife really likes her Milwaukee cafe jacket. I'd like to replace mine, but it's due to fit more than anything else.

Their boots are pretty popular locally.

I don't know about the Milwaukee stuff but I have a few items from www.Leatherup.com. They sell nice quality stuff at really reasonable prices. If you use code 55633 at check out you should get an additional 10% off.

I got a pair of their boots and really like them. One word of caution is do not order anything from the wholesale website it took 3 weeks to get my boots and they never returned emails or calls so I disputed the charge with my CC company. I got them from a different site.

I have their vintage/crazy horse vest & it is excellent at the 75.00 I paid for it. It's usually 95-125 but I got a great deal. Worth much more than I paid. BTW, they make the same products with different names for their sellers. EX: Vintage=Dochet at J&P=Crazy Horse

Great prices here:
