Nicest Jacket I've Ever Owned... 2004-10-13

I took delivery of my Classic II around the first of September when the weather was still warm. My brother had convinced me to start wearing leather if I was going to continue to commute on my cruiser, that it was just a matter of time before I'd be needing thicker skin. The jacket is the nicest piece of apparel I own. The leather is soft and thick and fits like a glove. The venting made the jacket comfortable even on 85+ degree days, and now that the weather is cooler, it handles the mid 40s morning temperatures with just a long sleeve shirt. Thanks for producing such a fine product. Also, as of this writing, I haven't gone down.

I Wish To Compliment Your Entire Staff 2003-02-27

Dear Sirs,

What is this world coming to? As I returned home yesterday I found a package awaiting me on my back porch. As I moved the package to the house I noted the weight of the package and began to wonder, could it be my jacket? Being much heavier than I had expected, I figured your staff must have done an excellent job packaging. Opening the box, much to my surprise, inside was nothing but the jacket.

For a year and a half now, since having my "Brooks" Jacket of 17 years stolen, I have searched from Chillicothe, OH, to Sturgis,SD. Daytona FL. to Milwaukee ,WI. for a comparable replacement only to find cheap Chinese, Indonesian or Korean or even Pakistani imitations. As you well know American made leather products are becoming increasingly hard to find, especially of this quality!

I wish to compliment your entire staff on your speedy service as well as accurate descriptions of your products "on-line". I will be contacting you in the very near future for a second jacket, as it was very hard to decide on the one model. And in the future you can count on me as a "sales representative" for your products!

Thank you again for your great service, incomparable product, and service to the American biker and our way of life!!!

Quality Leather Gear, Made in the USA 2005-10-07

by Randy from Racine, WI

When I purchased my first Harley-Davidson three years ago, I knew I wanted to have some classic-looking, quality, comfortable leathers to complete the package. After looking at everything my local H-D dealership had in-stock, I came to the conclusion that a good set of leathers would have to be from Pakistan and cost upwards of $750- boy was I discouraged.

After two years of searching countless websites, leather stores, and motorcycle shows, I all but gave up on finding what I was looking for. I purchased a 2005 H-D Road King Classic this spring and knew that I had to find my leathers in order to tour in style- and safety.

After searching many websites, I came across the Fox Creek Leather site and began to look through the styles available. Was I ever excited to find the classic look that I wanted in the “Classic II” jacket and matching chaps?!

An even better surprise was when I read that ALL of your products are made in the USA, have a lifetime warranty and cost half as much as those leathers made in third-world countries!

I have received many compliments from fellow riders who notice the quality construction and great look. I have ridden over 12k miles this season- most with my Fox Creek Leathers keeping me company. In fact, I enjoyed my jacket and chaps so much that I bought my wife the ladies “Classic II” for Mother\'s Day- she loves it and wears it both while on the back of our bike and just around town! Free shipping is a great value-added benefit of doing business with Fox Creek Leather- keep up the great work and quality products!

Premo Jacket! 2004-03-04

by Tim Hickman from Great Falls, MO

155 of 294 people found this review helpful.

The Jacket is premo! It fits great and is in my opinion a bargain price for the superior features and weight of the leather utilized. It weighs a ton in hand but the leather is so supple that it feels like an old friend once you wear it.

I picked up my 2004 Road Glide the same day I got the Jacket and put 150 miles on it the following day. I wore a long sleeve shirt under the jacket and rode several hours in 44 degree Montana sunshine and the only thing that even got remotely chilled were my hands and legs. Guess I'll be hitting you for chaps in the near future.

I just had to says thanks for a GREAT American made product. It goes well with my other American made product. Go all the way with USA!!!!

Great Jacket, worth ever penny, fits like a glove! 2008-11-11

by Art Pennington from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Fox Creek is the BEST leather company I have ever known. I have been riding bikes for over 30 years. I have purchased leather jackets from at least 10 different manufactures over the years. NONE have ever been as nice as the Fox Creek Classic II. Check the label on your current jacket; you will be surprised that most motorcycle jackets are really made in China. NOT Fox Creek, they make their own jackets, and they do not scrimp on quality. The great thing is that you get top quality at a GREAT price. Yes it is 400 bucks, but it is well worth it, in this case you get what you pay for.

My son bought a Classic and he raved about it. I had never heard of Fox Creek, so I went online and checked it out, I read other testimonials, I though "sure it will be good, but compared to the jackets I already own, how good can it be?"

When it arrived I KNEW I had made a good choice. What a difference compared to the other high quality jackets I own, the Fox Creek jacket is FAR superior, in finish, fit, styling, fasteners, quality and thickness of the leather. Lots of vents, great zippers and oh that leather is SOOOO Nice. The seams, the zippers and the fasteners are top quality, tough stuff, they will outlast me. Fox Creek, you should be PROUD of your company and your merchandise.

I am currently living in the Middle East; in the desert the weather can change here from cold in the morning to hot by 10:00 AM. The Classic II is ideal, it fits like a glove, so when it is cold you can zip it up snug, and as the temperature warms up you just open up the vents. Other jackets look good, but do not perform. The Classic II was obviously designed by a biker for a biker, while maintaining good solid looks.

To top off great quality, Fox Creek customer service is the best I have experienced in a LONG LONG time. Real people, not machines or off shore call centers. 1st class. They were friendly, totally professional and knew all their products. I wish other online bike shops were as good. Living outside the US, I was concerned about the fit, returning the jacket was not an option. A call to Fox Creek customer service helped determine the right size and the jacket fits like a glove. Thank you so much.

I could not be happier.

Absolutely Quite Amazed 2006-11-09

by Graham from , UK

I am absolutely quite amazed at the quality of my jacket, its a custom one as you know, extra thick leather, gun pocket, extra sleeve vents, the craftsmanship is beyond reproach its just 100 percent perfection. The Jacket is very heavy, but that's what I wanted, it fits very well, pockets are good, not used vents yet, too cold here, but assume they must work ok. It's very nice to just wear out and about not on the bike, which is what I will be doing this winter to try to break it in a bit, warm once you have been in it a few minutes, took the liner out from the start.

On the bike, seems OK riding up to about 100mph, bit of cold gets in by the neck, and the end of sleeves if not wearing your correct gloves. I guess it needs the scarf I had to wear in the photos or a leather bandanna or something round the neck in cold weather.

I don't like the zipper on the wrong side however, I guess all American zippers are that way. When on a sports bike the back of the crash helmet fouls the neck of the jacket because you head is angled. Unlike a Harley for example where you sit bolt upright. This does tend to push the Helmet down a bit at the front i.e. down over your eyes, thus impairing vision a bit and also makes turning the head around for a look behind a bit harder. Perhaps the leather will wear in a bit with use. But, what a jacket. Your craftsmen/women, are superb, your overall service could not be better. Will order from you again, no doubt about that.

By far the best leathers I have ever owned. 2009-06-05

I want you all to know about Fox Creek Leather. I received my Classic Motorcycle Jacket and a pair of deerskin gauntlets in August 2000, I only wish I had them when I rode down the Oregon and California coast on my way to the 2000 Independence day Hollister Rally, instead I had an expensive Harley Davidson jacket made in Indonesia and a pair of Watson gauntlets. The cold pacific air cut right through that leather like a sharp knife!

The Fox Creek Leather jacket and gloves are by far the best leathers I have ever owned, they are cool in the summer and very warm on the cold days! The sizes were perfect and delivery was prompt. I just ordered a pair of chaps for my wife and a vest for myself. I highly recommend www.foxcreekleather.com for all your leather needs!

WOWWWWWWW 2008-06-19

by Bob Jones from SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

G'day America...

I awaited the delivery of my vest, gloves and that special jacket with the excitement of a young child at Christmas but with some concern that I had spent a lot of money on something that may not fit me or live up to the bold advertising and pretty pictures.

How wrong was I ... the fit is perfect!! The look is .. if I do say so myself absolutely outstanding.... how can something so soft be so strong. It feels special, it makes me feel special!

I work in an office in Nth Sydney during the week and I wear the thing to work it looks that good. But come the weekend when I'm on my raked FX Softail Custom cruisin the highway it's something else!! Pure magic. You can feel the quality in the weight of the thing...you just know that if you happen to fall that nothing is going to rip it.... It's warm on a cold day yet cool on a hot day. I can move freely in it with no restrictions .. Fantastic!

I would encourage anyone who was looking at getting any leather wear to save them selves a lot of time & expense & go straight to the top.!

Thank you FOX CREEK!

Great American Product 2009-02-03

by Bill Newsom from N. Richland Hills, TX

87 of 172 people found this review helpful.

I purchased my Classic Motorcycle Jacket II about 4 years ago. I noticed the quality as soon as it arrived, and it has since lived up to that first impression. Nothing about this jacket is what I refer to as "cheesy". It fits great, and is total quality. That includes the thick leather, stitching, snaps, and heavy duty zipper that has never failed to work perfectly. I've been all over the western U.S. with it, from the Mexican border to the Canadian border, and it seems indestructible. It has protected me from sand storms, hail, rain, and sleet, and still looks like new. I have no doubt that this jacket will last longer than I will.

I have since purchased other Fox Creek leather products, chaps, vest, and belts, and they're all of the same high quality. It's nice to see an American company that produces a great product!

WORTH THE MONEY 2008-11-13

by PAUL from LOWELL, MI

84 of 166 people found this review helpful.

I have owned this jacket for 3 years now. I live in Michigan and ride until about the end of November and then start up again in April. Mornings here in November and April can get down to the low 30s. This jacket along with my Fox Creek chaps and face warmer get me to work without frostbite. You may pay a little more but the quality, guarantee and customer service is the best you will find. Buy Fox Creek products and you will never regret it!
