Fox Creek Blog

I was going to edit our birth announcement blog, but hey, it’s been 3 months.

Rylan is growing quickly and Ashley is back to work. She’s shared some gorgeous photos with us. Enjoy.

Deerskin is one of the most difficult leathers to work with, both in it’s tanning process, and in the making of leather goods. This, and limited availability, prevents it from being a leather that can be stamped out and sewn into products by the millions using inexperienced labor and many common mass production methods. When done properly however, it produces one of the strongest, softest, most durable, and comfortable gloves you can wear.

A properly cut deerskin glove has stretch width-wise and very little stretch lengthwise. This means a snug fitting glove that will expand with your hand when you make a fist or grip something, but the fingers won’t stretch or become floppy.

The physical structure of deerskin leather is different than other types of skins. It’s elongated interwoven fibers give it an extremely high shear strength and abrasion resistance. The spaces between the fibers make the leather soft and comfortable over a wider range of temperatures than others. In other words: cooler in the warm weather and warmer in the cold weather.

The combination of a naturally superior leather, tanner, cut, and sewn by experienced crafts people using age old processes, results in a product that truly “fits like a glove”.

Unlike man-made materials that appear flawless, any skin has surface scratches and scars, etc., and contain subtle variations in color and texture resulting in natural markings which add to the uniqueness of each item. These variations in no way affect the durability or performance of the glove. Normal use will enhance the character of this leather.

Fox Creek Leather Saddlebags

Our beautifully crafted, American made leather saddlebags are of thick (4-6 oz), top grain leather, with nylon stitching, and YKK hardware. The saddlebags hold their shape with a soft, natural look. Features and inside pocket and weather flaps over the zippered closure. The backs of the saddlebags are made of a sturdy, heavy-duty rubber and is constructed to guarantee the highest quality leather saddlebags for your motorcycle. Remember that you can always return or exchange your saddlebags if you are not completely satisfied with their fit.

Several Designs
Whether you own a Harley Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Indian or other type of motorcycle, we have saddlebags, ghostbracket mounts, and motorcycle accessories to fit your bike. Our saddlebags come in classic (or plain) style, studded, or full dressed (which includes fringe and conchos). Any style is available with or without the leather yoke. We also have a zip off option for our yoked bags.

GhostBracket Mounting Combinations

To mount your Fox Creek Leather Saddlebags to your motorcycle, we recommend and carry the GhostBracket mounting systems. The GhostBrackets gives you a convenient quick-release bracket and also the security of their patented key locking design. You can hardly see the mounting pegs when your saddlebags are off your motorcycle. The ghostbrackets are mounted to the rubber backing of the saddlebags. With the key lock system, you simply turn your key to lock the ghostbrackets to your bike and you are on your way. The ghostbrackets have an amazing design, amazing price, and are simply an amazing product.

We save you time by providing specific GhostBracket fitting information, not just measurements. Simply choose your motorcycle from the menu to see what ghostbrackets you need for your bike. This page also gives you additional needed information, such as if you will need to relocate your lights or if an adapter kit is needed for your bike due to removable backrests.

As always, feel free to e-mail us or call us with questions or concerns.
