Langlitz for the cold weather and Schotts for everything else.

Well, I ordered a Grayson from Fox Creek. Should be here Friday. Hope it's as good as everyone has said.

Hot Leathers, Is the local Leather Up store. I paid $100 and it does what it's designed to do. Buy what you like and like what you buy.

Got mine 3-4 years ago from some Pakistani leather shop that I just happened to be driving past in kansas City.

Good thick leather, full removeable quilted liner (sleeves inc.), underarm & back vents, zippers at the cuffs, and very thin reflective bunting around the shoulders & neck. It's nothing special, but looks good & does everything you would want a bike jacket to do.
Price was $99 cash. Maybe it was cheaper because I bought it in July when it was 100 degrees out, but I thought that was a great deal! I had been looking at the HD ones, but when I found this, I thought it would work temporarily until I found something else. So far, it's been well worth it & no plans to replace it.

No way would I pay $400+ for the ones that have been licensed by HD!

I picked up a brand new $480 HD leather off Ebay.
Got it for $200, and it says "Made in the USA" on it.
NO way would I pay full price for a HD leather, but for $200 is was a good deal.

Last two jackets were purchased on craigs list. One was an Icon jacket 360 on most websites. It was worn for one winter. Looked brand new and I got it for 125.00 I also bought a classic style motorcycle made by Shott NYC that retails for abut 660 for 200. Never worn with tags. There are a lot of scammers on CL but you can get lucky.

Made in USA, all of mine. All purchased for about 30 percent less than retail price, or substantial savings for a vintage piece.

New old stock Vanson Continental Comet off Ebay (I wear this jacket in most weather in L.A.)

New old stock Vanson Vent Max 4 in Silver off Ebay (This is for hot weather in L.A.)

'80s vintage Schott Perfecto off Ebay (This is for cold weather in L.A.)

'70s vintage Brooks cafe racer off Ebay, though I did meet the seller locally. (This a great looking vintage piece off or on the bike, and I wear it on nights out at times.)

I have a Harley Spoiler jacket. I like it. Removable liner, zipper vents. Fits well not overly HD. Probably paid too much but I didn't realize there were options at that time.
