Leathers

In my experience the stuff from leatherup has lasted as long as the expensive HD stuff.

I may have just got unlucky but I bought a pair of chaps about 7 years ago from leatherup because I was low on money had to but some foreign crud and the zippers blew out on my second ride...so I say avoid this company,,,Legendary leathers is a great company to do business with they also carry a made in the USA line of leathers had my USA made chaps from them for 6 years and 50,000 miles with no problems

Trek hit the nail on the head...MADE IN THE USA

The brands I listed in my post are American made. Whenever possible, I buy American. I am proud to be lucky enough to live in this country.

You can get an American made jacket for much less than a $1k. I go out of my way to buy American and don't mind one bit paying more.

I also got a few things from leather up with no complaints. I finally got an excellent jacket from Fox Creek at a great price( about $250) by joining their mail list and watching for the sales. I bought at the beginning of the summer, but it was vented.

Well that's a nice luxury everyone doesn't have.
