I'm with you all too. I would love to buy the jacket but the huge skull on the back puts me off.

I have one that has Harley-Davidson across the back. Tried on many different jackets before purchasing and this was the most comfortable heavy jacket I tried. I am very happy with it.

You can alway go to wilson's for a nice plain jacket for half the price.

I got my FXRG heavy weight off ebay, just like new with the liner, pads and kidney belt for a tad over two hundred.

It is a very nice jacket.

But if it doesn't say Harley, it "ain't" a Harley.

I bought a hd leather vest at the dealership at thier fall blowout sale, didn't realize till days later that the tag said made in china, why waste the extra money to get the Harley name on cheap chinese junk, next time I will buy localy made stuff and support the local economy like i thought i was.

Every hose on a Freightliner truck is made in China. Every hose on a Volvo, Mack truck and Kubota tractor is made in China. I KNOW this. I could go on... There is junk from China, and then there is state of the art equipment. Guess where your Blackberry and iPhone are made? Your XBox?
Not promoting China, just clarifying the point. China can = junk, but not always.

Lots jacket with HD all over them. Me and my girlfriend have em. They are good quality, nice jackets IMHO. Billboard or not I don't care, I like my jacket. As previously noted, if you wanna fly under the radar, get the fxrg line. My girlfriends parent both wear those and they are nice. Are the harley jackets over priced? Can you find a jacket for less money? No doubt, but they sell em becase people buy them. Buy whatever you want. Im happy with mine.

My only Harley jacket is the FXRG textile. Quality jacket and understated.

Wouldn't these jackets look better with just a small HD logo or similar on the chest of the jacket rather or the trashy stuff on the back.


For the record I wear an FXRG as that is as understated as you can get here in Oz.

you can get them with only the bar and shield on the chest
