For your SA. Company is out of California. Couple of good looking riding jackets made of wax cloth on their site.

Personally, I'm a big http://www.foxcreekleather.com fan. I own two of their jackets.

I bought a leather jacket from Cortech, not sure if it's made in USA but Cortech is an American company. Planning to buy Cortech boots and gloves as well. Great products and prices !!

I've been trying to lose weight and when I get to my goal and stay there for a bit I'm treating myself to a classic horsehide cafe racer jacket. I was thinking of trying to find a good vintage one or go with a Schott or Real McCoy. However I found this company Hillside and for half the money of a Schott and custom built to my size looks very tempting.

Horsehide huh? That's a new one for me. Looks like a classic jacket though.

They don't shoot horses do they?

If you can't find a good fit with an off the rack jacket, a custom jacket is well worth the extra $$$.
Try Bates, you can get a perfect fit and get what you want in terms of material, vents, pockets, armor or padding, etc.
My arms are too short and too thick; sport coats are easy to alter, M/C jackets are not easy.
I bought a Bates leather jacket 20 years ago, still a favorite jacket, but it seems it shrunk a little in the waist.

The schott does look a lot better than the hillside...

I’ll second Fox Creek Leather, decent folks and their store has a good variety plus they do custom.
