When we went in the store, there were quite a few bikers either getting a riding leather, getting patches put on their existing jacket or vest, or just looking around. We had to wait our turn until the staff finished. It's definitely pretty small mom and pop shop, but the stuff seemed to be of...
My better half got a custom sized jacket (from a house pattern) at US1 leathers and both the service and price were excellent. She didn't want a heavy cow skin, but something easy wearing. She even got to pick the lining fabric.
They took about 3 weeks to make the jacket for her. We were...

At first glance, Taylor's website is not doing them any favors. They definitely have a...
I went looking at the Taylor's Leather website (https://taylorsleatherwear.com/) because of this thread, and frankly I wasn't impressed by the pictures. I was looking at a cross-zip moto jacket like the New Orleans (or Pittsburgh) and they look meh especially when compared to the Vanson CHP...
