Well I received my new leather jacket today from Fox Creek Leather. It took me awhile to decide on style and make. I first wanted a USA made jacket as my previous jacket were made over seas and they did not last. My first jacket was a Wilson that I bought in high school and it started going down hill fast within 3 years the lining was in shreds and the zippers were falling apart. My second jacket I got ordered from Harley Davidson well when it showed up I look at the tag and it says made in Korea WTF. I asked for a refund and they said no way grumble grumble grumble. Well it lasted around 7 years and I have been riding with a jean jacket for a while. You all might say what the hell is he doing to his jackets? Nothing I tell ya I wear them and I clean and oil them every 4 months unless I hit a lot of rain or mud. I work in leather for a living so I know how to clean and condition to make an item last. Anyway I have high hopes for this jacket it is heavy in the way a quality leather jacket should be the stitching is tight with no loose ends it has plenty of vents to keep you cool while riding. The pockets are lined with heavy duty cordura so they will last. It has plenty of pockets for flasks,Ipods and other sundries. There is a large map pocket on the front that will be useful for larger items. So if any of you mooks are looking for a new leather check out Fox Creek Leather

I've got an old Sears jacket that was purchased by an uncle when he returned from Korea. When I got it, there was a Safeway receipt from the 1960s! It is in need of some love, but I don't want to dye it- it looks too damn cool. Any suggestions?
