There's a couple answers to that question. My only choice if you're talking "high end" is Langlitz. Its that simple. I have a vest, Columbia jacket & Westerns from langlitz as does my wife. I am sure others make a good product too but check out Langlitz and join the family. When you buy langlitz you don't just get a product. You are part of the family there. Great people and the best leathers in the world. Ofcourse your talking a custom made for you product here with a wait time. If you want a good commercial product look at FC. In leathers you get what you pay for as in most things in life.

I am not affiliated with langlitz except as a very happy customer.

I think these guys might be saying .... "If Fox Creek stopped making your jacket and you are looking for another Mfg. anyway, you might as well stay with Fox Creek and just pick another style. After all you know how GREAT they are to work with. The quality is excellent, made in USA, lifetime warranty." At least that's what I would say, If I were to comment. ++2 for Fox Creek from me

Dennydp,
Didn't you know that after awhile leather begins to shrink? I found that out after a couple of years of not riding & went to put my old jacket on and it was much tighter that it use to be. I hope my new one dosen't do it

I first heard about Fox Creek Leather on this forum. They had closeout specials on their website when I first checked it out. I wanted the Classic I, but I also wanted a matching pair for my wife and myself. I decided to try to Classic II because it was the only style they had with one in my size and one in my wife's size.

I paid less than half price because they were discontinued models with the same lifetime warranty of the newer models that replaced them. They are without a doubt the best leather coats I have ever owned or even tried on. I am sure there are others out there that are equal or better quality, but even at their regular price, they would be hard to beat.

Sorry to add to the fox creek testimonials when you've already said they don't make the style you want, but this was intended to help others who saw the thread and are looking for great leather.

Melanie,It was great to see the 3 of you.Never thought to suggest a stop.Langlitz shop is only worth visiting if your going to have leathers made.Not much to see.

Oh man, or Oh woman... this doesn't help! I cannot afford Langlitz. Fox Creek is great, but I don't like the style... I love their vest and their chaps I just can't find a jacket that is "my style." I'm going to call them tommorrow and talk with them, I'm not happy with the style and fit of the one I ordered. Not their fault at all, they have been great to work with. All I want is a fitted jacket with pockets, a nice collar that snaps, laced sides and braiding.... They had it. Now they don't
