American-made gets stamped on a lot of gear that isn't. Genuinely domestic motorcycle gear, real US leather cut and sewn here, comes from a short list of brands.
Legendary USA, gloves and cowhide jackets
Legendary USA builds its glove line from American Whitetail deerskin (the ILL DOZER, Haymakers, and touchscreen models) and makes American cowhide jackets like the Black Hills. It also carries BECK and is an authorized Cockpit USA dealer.
BECK Northeaster Flying Togs, horsehide
BECK is the American horsehide specialist, with jackets like the 999 and 732 and horsehide vests like the 566. Sold through Legendary USA.
Other notable American makers
Specialist makers like Vanson, Langlitz, Schott NYC and Aerostich also produce gear in the USA, each with its own focus: competition leathers, made-to-measure, heritage cowhide, and adventure-touring suits.
