Fox Creek is well worth the extra money, but the TourMaster jackets on newenough.com are good value.
Both sites have outstanding customer service.

Do you guys who bought a leather jacket from Foxcreek think they are worth the extra money? For example if a jacket at Foxcreek cost $350, a very similar jacket from leather.com out San Diego runs about $185. I ask because I want a Foxcreek leather jacket. Their web pictures look like real high quality stuff. But every time I buy something for me, the wife buys something for her, which I guess is fare, but I need to make sure I'm getting more value with my money going with a Foxcreek since the purchase is going to cost twice. Once for me and once for her.
In general I agree that you get what you pay for, but in the case of a leather jacket what do you get? Thicker leather? Better zippers? Thicker thermal lining? More pockets? All the above?
