Thanks for the pics. I have one of their vests and love it. My next leather jacket will be from Foxcreek as well

Langlitz Leathers, 2443 SE Division, Portland, OR 97202. (503)235-0959
Langlitz is the very best and considered that worldwide. A little more expensive than Fox Creek but made exactly to your measurements and made by them. Fox Creek does not make the products they sell.
This is not intended to be a negative post about Fox Creek. I think they sell high quality gear. I have their Elkskin gloves which are very nice. I just bought a jacket from FC and the leather and workmanship are excellent. Unfortunately, the sleeves are too long and the neck is too tight so it will be returned.

I was there a couple of weeks ago with my wife driving a diesel truck pulling a 32 foot fifth wheel RV. You should have seen the u-turn I had to do in the parking lot...LOL
Their shop is located a couple of miles north of town and it is a winding road. Great for bike riding but not pulling large trailers.
I bought a belt and the deerskin gloves. Both are high quality and the gloves feel great and it is the closes I have ever felt to riding without gloves while wearing gloves. The deerskin gloves have a great natural feel to them.
By-the-way, I didn't know about any forum discount. After I paid the young lady and left I notice the price I paid was lower than their advertised prices online by a good bit. Maybe I look like someone who reads this forum. You think?

Leather
I purchased a set on leathers both a jacket and chaps form Fox Creek. They were very helpful in sending me a jacket to try before making mine. It was high quality leather and well built.
I would like to mention however that I wanted alterations made and they were unwilling to do any. I wanted the front waist line raised so it didn’t bunch up when seated. They wouldn’t do that so I ask if they could install a double sided zipper. They wouldn’t do that either. The chaps stretch excessively. I had them altered by a local shop twice and they still were stretching so I finally got rid of them and bought some other stuff. I had the new chaps altered once and it hasn’t changed since. Also I purchased brown and the color came off very easy like tape took it off and it scratched off very easy also.
I’m not concerned about the money it costs to have it look and work the way I want it.
Does anyone know a good custom leather worker that would make me a set of custom fit leathers in the Northwest?

I need a new leather jacket and I'm leaning towards Foxcreek. I'll have to buy online because I don't have the time to ride out there.

I was very disappointed in the quality of their product. Their customer service was horrible once craftsmanship issues with the product were discovered.

LOL Yeah, If I were you I'd go with crush theory. It'll give your wife something to think about.
