What Customers Are Saying About Our American Made Leather Vests

Since the moment I put it on three weeks ago I knew that the quality, fit, and functionality of this vest would make it one of my favorite things to wear. The leather is superb (in texture, thickness, and craftsmanship). - Reid, Canada

When I got my vest in the mail last week (only about 3-4 days to get to me) I put it on and it fit like a glove. The sizing is amazing. I love the fit, pockets, and strong buttons. I like the brown color too. I wear it while on long drives and it is not cumbersome at all. No other vest will come close in price, workmanship, and overall value. Look no further, this is the PERFECT vest. - Vince, California

The vest shipped promptly and I was extremely impressed upon first glance. I received the vest just in time for the Laughlin River Run and was a good opportunity to break in the vest. Well to my surprise, the vest needed no break in. Super soft, supple leather! The weight of this vest is probably 3 seasons here in AZ, with it being just a lil thick for the summers here. Stitching, buttons and zippers all seem to be high quality. The sizing was spot on. I measured 48" across my chest and decided to order the 52" vest so I can layer. The length is perfect if you are off the bike (all the cheap "generic" vests run really short). - Corey, Arizona

I bought this vest and got it just before Sturgis 2005 after a few emails and some sizing help from the great Fox Creek staff (listen to them if you email - I usually wear a medium, my vest has a tag that reads small but the fit is perfect, just like they promised). I'd heard about Fox Creek on some web forums and liked the idea of being able to get US made leather. I was expecting to open the box and find a nice vest -- but I found a spectacular vest. Heavy, rich leather that actually smells like it should. First-class workmanship. Every detail is right, the braiding is correct, snaps are set where they really work, etc. - David, Missouri

These vests are better than ALL OTHER VESTS...PERIOD. You will not find a better vest anywhere. The stitching, the thick leather, the pockets are flawless. Even the buttons are all turned the same way. People who know good leather notice them everywhere we go. When you feel the weight and smell the leather you know you made the right choice. I don't have a lot of extra money to throw around so when I do spend it I want it to be spent wisely. I did not waste my money. - Tracy, Mississippi

The leathers Paul Trachy sells are drum dyed leather. Not the leather-dust swept off the floor and glued together. The braided buffalo nickel vest has laced sides that I laced to “just closed.” (I can see me having to loosen up the sides this coming October when the wife and I do our annual Fall Colour Run to Kentucky though!) The genuine buffalo nickels add that old school touch to the vest. The braiding complements my wife's leather and the pockets do hold paper currency at slab speeds! - Moe, Florida

I have been riding since 1971, and I have owned many leather products, both of good quality and poor quality, but the men's plain, black motorcycle vest that I ordered from Fox Creek Leather is by far the best quality vest I have ever purchased. The weight, quality, and craftsmanship of the vest is superior to other comparably priced vests that I have owned in the past. After getting my patches sewn on the vest and wearing it on a run for the first time, I got caught in a downpour, and I got completely soaked. I put the vest on the back of a chair overnight to dry, and in the morning I couldn't even tell that the vest was wet the night before. The vest was still soft and pliable, and didn't curl up and shrink like other vests that I've had. It's definitely a good investment! - Anonymous, Miami

I have a vest from Fox Creek that I have worn for about 10 years. It is warm, fits and is durable. Western NC, gets cold in the winter (right now about 10 inches of snow and below freezing outside) the vest does its part for added warmth. I am not a biker but appreciate good leather products. - Bill, North Carolina
