The quality goes in before the name goes on. 2007-02-24

I had been looking for a motorcycle jacket to replace one that had been stolen some time back. After searching the local area I had discovered Fox Creek Leather while online.

I had been looking primarily for a motorcycle jacket, but once I had seen the Vented Bomber Jacket by Fox Creek, I had decided to buy it.

This jacket, style wise, seemed like it would be suitable for cycle use as well as general casual wear. A couple days after placing my order the jacket arrived.

As it turned out, I had ordered a size too small so i called Customer Service and requested a return authorization. The very helpful staff had agreed to send me a bigger size even before I returned the original, thus affording me the opportunity to compare the two sizes.

This level of customer service support impressed me.

Upon receipt of the first jacket, I was impressed by the weight, luster and softness of the leather. The jacket was designed with a myriad of air vents and pockets and even a removable liner and neck warmer. The zippers,snaps,mesh liner and even the pocket liners were of top notch quality.

The Bomber jacket has this feature whereby the outer zipper remains unzipped but a second zipper could be zipped thus exposing a perforated liner to allow for even more airflow and an additional inch or two for those of us requiring some.

As stated earlier I had been shopping for quality leather for some time but just got tired of being asked to pay extra for the middleman and seeing labels stating jacket made in either China,Korea or Pakistan.

Let me say in conclusion, that I doubt any other cycle jacket has the combination of top notch leather/hardware, the well thought out design and features, the workmanship, the helpful courteous staff, the Made in U.S.A. name tag and all at a very competitive price, making this jacket in my opinion "Second to None". Although this was my first Fox Creek Leather purchase, it will not be my last. The product,the service and the price are just that good.

Now all I need is a supply of their business cards.

Dual-Purpose Bomber Jacket 2007-08-02

I am extremely pleased with the quality and fit of this bomber jacket. I had it delivered to a friend in Washington DC when over on a work trip and then actually tried it out for the first time on a friend's SV650 Suzuki in Dallas. Now back in Australia in our winter, I have also enjoyed using it with the liner. I got the size very slightly wrong in the chest (a little tight) but on the bike it fits well.

I cannot really adequately describe the high quality of the leather. It's creamy in texture, so supple and smooth. The inner perforated zip closure worked really well in the Dallas heat. The bomber style means I can happily wear it for other occasions. I recommend Fox Creek Leathers as a quality supplier.

Bomber Coat fantastic purchase! 2010-07-06

by Ray Swan, Your Old Dog from Strykersville, NY

I have wanted a coat of this quality for most of my 63 years. Color me a freak but I can spot a truly great leather coat from a "wanna-be" leather coat from across the room!

After hearing of Fox Creek's reputation on some biker forums I wasn't afraid to send them a sizable chunk of money for my coat. When it came in I laid it out on the dining room table for a nearly microscopic inspection. I could find no fault with it. Every stitch, zipper and pocket were just perfect. I have the middle age spread thing going for me and the lady who sized me over the phone hit my size perfect the first time out.

Thanks Fox Creek for a tremendous product and service. Needless to say, I'll be keeping my coat. In fact I may even get some off-season use out of it!

Incredible Quality!! 2007-06-21

If you are looking for quality leather and craftsmanship then look no further. You could if you want but you won't find better I assure you. I've bought several leather jackets, chaps and pants over the years and nobody compares to what you'll find at Fox Creek Leather. I am very happy with my purchase, the fit,the feel and the look. Their leather may cost more than what you'll find in bike shops,ect. but you get what you pay for and that definitely rings true with these great people. Thank you Fox Creek!!! I truly am impressed.

Happy in Calabash 2009-11-10

I recently sold my older HD leather jacket as it seems I have somewhat outgrown it over the last several years.

I began the extensive search for a suitable replacement. The old jacket had a removable liner and was vented so I wanted to ensure the new jacket had those features at the least.

I visited all the local shops and could not find a single jacket with the features I desired. They were either short on venting or had only a vest liner rather than full sleeve. I also found the quality of leather was all over the spectrum with stiff and rigid being the norm. If the leather was soft enough for me and the jacket had most of the features then it was priced way too high.

I then started a search on the web to see what was out there. Again it was hard to find one single jacket with all the features I desired with the quality I demanded. I kept being drawn back to the Fox Creek site and the variety of styles they offered.

These jackets all had the features I was looking for and then some. The reviews were all positive and being USA made was a definite plus. The hardest part was choosing the style. I finally had my wife pick the style she preferred which was the bomber. I ordered the jacket on a Friday and it was delivered on the following Monday. Now that is service.

The jacket is everything I could ask for and more. Quality leather and the craftsmanship is better than expected. Using the sizing guide gets you a jacket that fits as if it was tailored just for you. You give your exact measurements and the jacket will fit without having to play the "order one/two sizes up" as required for foreign made products.

The jacket is protective and provides unrestricted movement on the bike. To say it is comfortable would be an understatement.

I think it is safe to say that Fox Creek offers the best jacket for the money without exception. I also can't say enough about the convenience of having a built in neck warmer for when the air is just a bit too cool.

Great service. Great products. Great prices. You really cannot do better anywhere else.

Paradise Found in my Vented Bomber 2009-05-17

by Tom from Arlington, Virginia

I was a little doubtful about buying a jacket like this without being able to look it over first but this jacket and Fox Creek Leather exceeded my exceptions in every way.

The construction and material used is just outstanding. The purchase was easy the shipping fast and the results perfect. I've looked for along time for a good quality jacket that offers protection, comfort and good looks and that wouldn't break the bank and this is it.

Not only does it look good it works, in the short time I've had it on cool mornings it's been great. Warm with no unwanted air gaps and when I hit rain it just rolled off. The fit was good right out of the box snug where it needs to be but not restricting. It's a heavier jacket than I expected but very comfortable and the weight isn't noticeable. The vents are placed where you can get some good air flow on warmer days and easy to open and close.

I couldn't be happier and would highly recommend Fox Creek Leather and will be shopping there again.

Love My Bomber Jacket 2008-11-14

Dear Fox Creek:

I bought my Fox Creek Bomber jacket last year and it's simply the best motorcycle jacket I've ever owned. I really appreciate your superb craftsmanship because, as a professional motorcycle tour guide, I put my jacket through some serious wear and tear.

I put the jacket on as soon as it was delivered and the fit was perfect. It's everything I was hoping it would be and more. I could not be more satisfied. As you know, a motorcyclist's jacket is much more than just apparel... it's of prime importance when it comes to protection and comfort.

I just wanted to let you know that I've enjoyed my Fox Creek jacket tremendously over the past year and look forward to many, many more years of enjoyment in the future. The quality is beyond compare, the functionality is excellent, and it looks great too. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Well Made Jacket 2009-03-27

by Rogers from Montague, CA

At first glance I could see the jacket was made much better than either of the jackets I currently have. The fit is better compared to a jacket bought off the rack; nice and snug but not loose where it flaps in the wind like my other jackets do. It fits around my waist nicely and doesn’t bunch up when sit on my bike. I like the way the sleeves unzip so that it fits down over gloves easily. The perforated panel which also unzips allows airflow while keeping the jacket on you securely. On the cold day when I test road my jacket the inside panel helped to keep me even warmer. The jacket provided me with even warmth, over my entire upper body. The jacket is equipped with enough vents so that you can let enough air in to make yourself comfortable in warm weather. With the exception of the back vents, you could easily unzip all other vents while riding.
The leather feels, soft, thick and oily yet it is no way stiff or restrictive. Although the Fox Creek Jacket is much heavier than either of my two jackets the weight doesn’t bother me at all but more over adds to the comfort of the jacket.

Vented Leather Bomber Jacket - at home in the UK 2009-05-26

by David Sanders from Doncaster, UK

Just a quick note to tell you that I’m absolutely delighted with the Vented Leather Bomber. The fit, style, design, material and build quality are all outstanding.

I’ve been biking for forty years and have experienced a fair selection of riding kit (including a $2,000 BMW suit), but this jacket is in a different league altogether. It’s very apparent that it has been designed by a biker, for a biker.

Although I hope not to find out anytime soon, the jacket clearly offers excellent crash protection due to the thickness of the leather and the quality of the zips and stitching.
