On my trip to Gatlinburg I took a 200 mile or so detour down to Fox Creek Leather. Very nice people to deal with. I ended up buying 2 jackets for my wife.

One I had shipped to the hotel we were staying in and it arrived in time for me to pick up my wife at the airport. But those of you that were there know we didn't need no stinkin' heavy leather jackets.

The 2nd I had shipped home. http://www.foxcreekleather.com/310.html

I also got 2 sets of the Lee Parks Design Deerskin gloves based on what I have read here. One each of the insulated and non insulated.

They gave me $10.00 off on each item, that is the CVO discount. Free shipping and no tax if you have it shipped, unfortunately I purchased in VA< so the $40 discount I got was eaten up by t the $36 in tax., made for a good deal on the jackets. Too bad the beautiful fringe jacket with the inlaid roses doesn't have expansion gussets in the shoulders, the jacket is tight on my wife when she reaches forward.

This jacket was $210.00, a real bargain.

And, I found out the the shop that actually makes the jackets is about 15 miles from my work. I will have to go search them out. I want to see if I can get them to replace the POS zipper in my FXRG jacket.

Duane,
you'll love their stuff! I got the gloves first ( was looking for deerskin to go with a custom deerskin shirt), then bought vest, and then one of their jackets. Great quality, made in USA, and super people to deal with (plus we get a discount!!)    enjoy, john

How much display inventory is out?

How much display inventory is out?

The storefront is actually small, maybe 20-30. There might have been just 1 or 2 of each style hanging up, along with a wall full of gloves.

I have found a problem with one pair of gloves, and this was after I cut the cinch strap off. The right hand thumb is about 1/4" shorter than the left, and the seam is right on the tip of my thumb. After last night I won't be wearing them anymore, actually made my thumb go numb. This is the Lee Parks deerskin unlined pair.

Couple years ago could not find a pair of chaps to fit me well (6'4' 280LB)and saw these guy at Rally said they could make me a pair, they took measurements & couple weeks later chaps arrived.  They are fantastic fit great, long enough, super thick leather - could not have asked for more still were them today.  Cant remember the price but dont think they were any more than HD stuff.

I got a full set - Jacket/vest/chaps/gloves/belt   all top quality , great service.

The jacket is too big and they are taking it back for credit, I'm riding up in a few weeks to get fitted for one, I don't mind waiting to get one that is just right. Thanks for the tip on tax /shipping ..

The chaps are fit like they were custom, the deerskin gloves are great.  The belt was too small, measured on total length rather than waist size, so I gave to my son in college.. he was happy.

Sounds like great customer service.  And for those of us who are not standard sizes, and opportunity to get a custom fit too.  Thanks for the reports.

Thier store is real laid back , and for its size has a good selection .  Luckily they had the jacket I wanted in the perfect size .  It's a beautiful ride up , although Independence is a little town.

N...have you ever seen or tried on their leather overpants?  Was wondering how they look/feel.  Diva was thinking of some leather pants instead of the chaps.  If I could keep my waistline a constant size, I might like some as well.

I like the convienience of chaps, and with the heated seat , never a problem being cold

I like the chaps better too...for us men, they work well, but the ladies have a harder time at pit stops with the chaps on than we do.  Suzanne was able to find a pair in their blowout sale, so she ordered them today...

I bought a pair of the leather overpants... they are very well made and actually easier to get on than chaps. They looked like they were about three sizes too large when they arrived but fit very well - comfortable in the sitting position. They leave no cold spots in the wind!

Suzanne was able to get a pair of their leather overpants in their "Blowout" sale list...they just happened to have a pair that fit her.  She got them yesterday...very well made, as usual.  I'm rethinking this and may get a pair as well.  The design is virtually waterproof, so would eliminate the need for rainsuits in colder weather, IMO, particularly when the leather is treated.  Really nice product, and over $100 cheaper than the HD FXR product, and much thicker, more supple leather.
