We have a handful of new styles and products waiting for you at Fox Creek Leather…
The new Women’s Riding Jacket and Braided Riding Jacket both feature smooth, clean lines with rear vents tucked behind the seams for a classy, elegant look whether you’re riding a motorcycle or headed out for a night on the town.
If bike security is a major concern, secure your ride with a Motorcycle Club or Tire Claw. These are made by the same company that invented the original Club anti-theft device for automobiles.
Our L-Fold Leather Wallet offers a useful variation on the standard tri-fold leather wallet. Your money only gets folded once, so the wallet isn’t as bulky in your pocket.
Pockets can fill up quickly, so carry your flashlight and keys on your belt. We’ve added a new Military or Police-style Key Fob and Leather Flashlight Holder to our product line. These attach to your belt for quick access, and the Flashlight Holder swivels so you can direct the beam without removing the light from the holder.
We’re adding new products all the time, so check out our website for new and unique motorcycle gear.
Hi Fox Creek Leather Staff,
Just got my leather jacket and I have to tell you, if you were here you would hear me exclaiming very loudly how happy I am that I purchased my first motorcycle jacket from Fox Creek Leather. Worth every penny!!!!!!!
I was not expecting the jacket until later this week as I spoke to someone on Friday and she said it would be mailed on Monday, ecstatic I am. It’s 85 degrees and I am walking around my house in my new jacket. Needless to say my boys think I am a little crazy.
I went to a motorcycle event this weekend Thunder in the Valley in Johnstown PA and some of the jackets and chaps I tried on “DO NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE QUALITY, HEAVINESS, SOFTNESS…….”.
My friend purchased her jacket and chaps there, wait till she sees and touches what quality and expert workmanship really feels like. I really love my jacket and as a new rider, well I take the motorcycle course next week, I can say for a fact that I will feel very safe and comfortable in my new jacket. Expect an order for chaps soon. :)
Thanks again for your assistance with email and phone calls. Truly a great American company.
Very happy customer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crafted specifically to fit a woman’s figure with foremost attention to detail, our women’s motorcycle jackets are as tough as they are beautiful. So, if you’ve started looking for a special gift idea for her for the holidays, here’s where to start!
Women’s Embroidered Jacket
For just a splash of color, check out our Women’s Embroidered Jacket. Dual front and rear vents keep you cool in the summer. Thick full grain naked leather and a zip out Thinsulate® liner protect you from the cold.
The Embroidered Jacket’s classic clean lines and tasteful embroidery coupled with antique nickel hardware and sumptuous leather make this a beautiful jacket. Pick her favorite: pink, white, red or purple embroidery, and wrap it up for the holidays.
Women’s Braided Riding Jacket
We’ve hidden lots of touches in this Braided sister to our Women’s Riding Jacket. Our Women’s Braided Riding Jacket features the same smooth, clean lines both front and back, with just a touch of elegance in the added braid trim.
Braid accents your curves on the jacket front and back, and adds an elegant line to your rear sleeve seams. Behind the front panel seams at waist level are a pair of snap closure pockets that measure 4in x 6in.
Fox Creek Leather Women’s Vented Reflector
Our Women’s Vented Reflector Jacket is flush with features and has a clean straightforward design incorporating a full sleeve Thinsulate® liner, and a snap down collar. Armor provisional pockets in the elbows, shoulders, and back allow you the option of using body armor with your jacket (armor not included).
The highly reflective piping across the front and rear of the jacket increase your visibility at night. Zippered vents in the sleeves allow cool air to ventilate your core in hot weather.
Women’s Riding Jacket
There’s a lot of class hidden in this jacket. For instance, this Women’s Riding Jacket features smooth, clean lines both front and back. Behind the front panel seams at waist level are a pair of snap closure pockets that measure 4in x 6in.
Sleeve vents are placed in the upper arm section, and the rear vents are tucked behind the panel seams in the back. And the leather collar snaps down securely to keep the ends from flapping when you ride.
Add a purse or wallet…
Our leather wallets and purses are hand-crafted from thick, supple top-grain cowhide. Each purse features lightweight heavy-duty hardware and a leather shoulder strap.
The wallets are quite roomy — carry everything from your license and ID to credit cards, dollar bills and change, and still have room for pictures and your checkbook. And if you need even more room, we have a small and a large tote bag that will get you just about anywhere you need to go.
No matter how much you are carrying, we have a purse or tote bag that will get your things where you need to go.
Our purses are made in the U.S. from 1.2 - 1.4mm top-grain cowhide and are available in a variety of styles and sizes. If you need even more room, we have two sizes of top-grain cowhide tote bags. We also now carry leather ID badges and cases in a variety of sizes and styles… from a clip-on badge to a folding military-size case. These are crafted from 2mm thick top-grain calfskin for years of use.
If you have a laced-side vest you wear to show your colors but it doesn’t quite fit over your jacket, we have side vest extenders. All you do is lace them into the sides of your vest to add up to 5 inches circumference to your vest.
We have a wide variety of gear in our Blowout Sale. Men’s Jackets in Cordura and Leather are on sale from $187 - $413… Women’s Jackets from $180 - $316… Men’s Vests from $67 - $148… Women’s Vests from $20 - $98… Chaps and Overpants from $60 - $173… Gloves from $7 - $63… and Belts & Buckles starting at just $10.
Many items on our Blowout Page are available in limited sizes and quantities. These are sold on a first come, first served basis. Please be sure of the fit before ordering one of these items because there is a 20% restocking fee for returns. If you have any questions on sizing, please give us a call at 800-766-4165 or 276-773-3131.

Well, we’ve come a long way from the restaurant at the old Black Rock motel. Renovations are nearly complete, and we expect to move into the new digs by the end of the month. I’ll tell ya — I’m about ready!
Since November, I’ve been here alone except for Rhudy and Trudy and the construction crew. Since I’m separated from the construction by a couple walls, I don’t get to talk with them very often. (Besides, do you know how hard it is to talk over a table saw or hammer?)
Rhudy and Trudy sorta keep to themselves - probably because someone has already talked their heads off… literally. They are my male and female mannequin buddies. Very patient models, can hold a pose for ages, but can’t follow instructions very well. And not at all talkative.
In other words, I’ll be glad to have someone to talk to other than myself!
These pictures show a little of the progress… the ‘Before’ picture was taken last fall and the ‘During’ picture was taken last week. In the next newsletter, I hope I can give you a peek inside our new building and provide you with an ‘After’ photo so you can see our new place all gussied up.
Those of you who visit our site regularly may of noticed a change. We are now proud to carry Easy Bracket’s Mounting Hardware for our customers.

The Easy Bracket bolt-on saddlebag system provides many benefits.
If ever you need help, have questions, or have a problem with your leathers, please let us know right away!
Why am I requesting this? Well, here’s a story:
A customer e-mailed us with some very valid complaints about a product he purchased almost a year ago. For a whole year this person was upset and dealing with issues that we would of fixed and/or made right within days of the purchase if we would have known. All this time he let these issues simmer and upset him when we stand behind our products 100%.
We have a quick turn-around time, and most products ship within 24-48 hours of your order. There are cases when we are temporarily out of stock of an item due to popularity of the style/size. Some items we do not stock and tell on the product page the wait time is 3-6 weeks.
All of Fox Creek Leather’s leather jackets, chaps, vests, and overpants are covered by our lifetime guarantee.
If you are not happy with the fit or style of your product, you have 30 days to return it for a full credit or as an exchange.
We also provide excellent customer service in addition to our superior quality products.
All products are 100% Made in the USA (except for the imported gel palm gloves and the travel bags).
If you have question or complaint, please contact us. You can send an e-mail to customerservice@foxcreekleather.com. We do answer our emails — your question will not be lost in e-mail oblivion! Or simply call us at (800) 766-4165. International customers can dial 1-276-579-7211. We are open between 8 am and 5:30 pm EST and we are always happy to help.
If you have time, check out Fox Creek Leather’s other leather products and accessories. We carry American-made leather saddlebags, travel bags, tool bags, roll bags, and windshield bags. Fox Creek Leather also offers a wide selection of leather chaps, leather jackets, leather vests, leather over-pants and leather motorcycle accessories.
One of the things that people really seem to like is having photos of us on the website. I’ve had customers say, “I’m looking at you right now! You are in the red, right?!” I want to say no because it is such a terrible photo.
Okay, quick funny story: A customer e-mailed once asking me which one I was. I told him that I was the one laying down in the front. (With much humor intended, we got a laugh out of that.)
Seriously, I really don’t look like I did before. Hopefully next year I will look even better (keep wishing in one hand).
We are working on getting an updated photo posted on the website itself, so bear with us. Until then, Tammy was nice enough to take some photos when she was photographing us for the upcoming contest.
So, for my Texan friend Gary, these are for you. Enjoy.
This was us then:

This is us now:

Imagine this, it’s December 19th…cold and wintery…pond frozen over (yep, this is the view out my window - I do love my job)…
‘Tis the Monday before Christmas and all through the shop,
All of Paul’s employees were shipping a lot.
The boxes were stacked to the ceiling with care,
Hoping that Fedex or UPS would soon be there.
Okay, okay. I’ll stop. Seriously, to the ceiling! We were proud to have our largest shipping day ever! The proof is in the photos.
(Melinda, Paul, Eddie, Scarlett, & Ashley with boxes.)
Thank you for your business and continuing support.
A lot of times people call just wanting to know which items are the most popular. It sometimes helps them make a decision when they are torn between two styles. For those of you who are curious, here is a quick list:
We know you have a choice when buying leather especially being tempted by local Harley shops and cheaper imported goods. We appreciate your business – it is our bread and butter.
Thank you.
