Many here (including myself) would agree with the phrase "God bless America". Some on here have said "who cares where it's from if you like it and it fits buy it". Have we forgotten that China is in fact COMMUNIST RED China. A country that does only and always what is best for the communist party. As for me, I Buy American when ever I can.

I bought a HD jacket 11 years ago, been down in it once and it's still a great jacket. A seam on the sleeve by the hand was the only issue I have had and it stitched up easy. Lots of great coats out there, just which ever one fits you and your style best.

I don't buy HD branded gear except for an occasional tee shirt. Companies like Vanson and Hein Gericke make much better leathers.

These guys make really good stuff.

http://www.leather.com/

It's made on site in the good ol' USofA and if you happen to be anywhere near there they have a great "Sale" department. They will make pretty much anything they make in everything from Soft Napa leather to Belting leather, Horsehide, deerskin.....you name it and they'll make it.

I started buying from them years ago for my aviation gear and like their stuff and think the prices are pretty fair!

Here's one I picked up at a yard sale for $100.




Got home and looked at the inside tag, Harley alright, but made in China. No surprise I guess.


As mentioned above, Harley leather jackets are made in Chine. Not sure when they were last manufactured in the states? I believe the boots are as well. OH, I will mention the quality looks to be great. And it has a liner. I still wish it was made in USA. argh
