There are tons of complaints and "scam beware" warnings all over online.
If this is the case, I might get it in ebay . Any comment?

 

I checked out this place but haven't yet bought one there:

You can buy the HD Road Warrior 3 in 1 Jacket here in the USA for $152.95 - $162.45 (depending on the size)

I purchased a leather Harley jacket from Happarel last year and have no complaints. It is the exact jacket you can buy at the dealer and was about $100.00 cheaper, took about 10 days to arrive.

 

Like the old saying goes, "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is!" There may be an occasional good deal out there, but great deals are usually a rip-off in quality.

 

The jackets are probably the 'real thing', just not HD authorized. I have a buddy who lives in China and is the quality control manager for a large US based manufacturing company (not for clothing), and what he told me was that most of the factories run two shifts for the contractor, in this case, likely HD. Then, they run a 3rd shift and crank out the unauthorized items. Same materials, same people making the jacket, same suppliers to the factory. The factory cuts a deal with the suppliers, buys more material on the side, and that's how they get alot of the knock-offs. It's probably not a copy, but the exact same thing you would get here, just all the money stays in China.

 

I was directed here by a friend who has several items from http://happarel.com/. They are identical with tags etc. and quality from a dealership. On the opening page it states they are an authorized dealer.

I don't owe these people anything but I will buy again if I need something.

 

Just put in a order today. It should be here in 7 to 10 days. Will see what I get.

 

...or you could buy from a local HD Dealer and help keep them in business. I know some don't like the local Dealers, but I do. Ask your local dealer to let you know about the sales. If they want your business they will work for it.
