Here's another made in USA: http://www.legendaryusa.com/Black-Ho...et-p/6046h.htm

 

I ordered from chilhowee once, I made it very clear what I wanted, they assured me they understood and it would be no problem. They sent me what I specifically said I do not want. I called them about it and they said they would not make it the way I asked, what they sent is what they send to everyone and they refused to change it. They lied to me when they took my order, they never had any intention of making my merchandise the way I asked. I returned the order and will never do business with them again.

 

Justleathers.com. good quality leather jackets, vests and chaps.

 

Fox Creek is top notch as long as you don't need a true custom fit. I have one of their vests and the quality compared to the imported cheap Chinese crap is like night and day.

 

I've been very pleased with the two Fox Creek jackets i've had - heavy leather and heavy brass zippers along with pockets that are lined with a heavy/durable liner that won't rip thru like so many other jackets do. The winter liner actually works which is also a switch from most leather jackets. In summer the vents work well.

Also have their elkskin gloves which are warm (unlined) down to about 40* F.

 

Heard good things about Fox Creek. Check out Schott NYC also - which is what I have. Great jackets and made in the USA.

 

Sorry to hear that about Vanson. Had a couple of sets of race leathers from them in the 80s. Not my style now but they were very high quality and served their purpose whenever I went down in a race.

 

I've got 6 Vanson jackets. Four are the "competition leather" and the other two are 1000d Cordura. It's hard to picture another jacket that would be more durable.

I've also got a couple of US made Schott jackets, one Langlitz and a couple of HD branded jackets. None of these get any real use, they're mostly just hanging in one of my closets.

The lower price Vanson jackets are made in South America, but the rest of the Vanson line is still U.S. made, and still very high quality.

 

Schott makes really nice jackets. I have one and a Vanson (made in USA) as well. I like both of them. I got the Vanson used so no hassle. I have had the Schott for over 10 years. I love it.

My wife and I both had complete sets made back in 97 - I am in Turlock and if you would to come by and see what 11 year old leathers look like - PM me or email

I am VERY happy with them and since I am hard to fit off the rack (short arms) It was great to have a jacket that fits and after 11 years... still looks great..
