About Us

I often get asked how I got into this business. Here is one of my motivations. I had a waxed cotton Enduro riders' jacket in the 1980's. It was nice gear but after a couple of years it became frayed around the edges. Then I bumped into a mule deer in Greybull, Wyoming and the jacket was history. I had already made a pair of leather bib overalls that came through with little more then scuff marks. So a jacket seems the next logical step. The first jacket I made was hand sewn but unfortunately was stolen, so on to the second edition. This one was sewn on a treadle machine and was too small for cold weather use. Fortunately, designing has become may favorite part of this business. I like to keep at a project to get it really polished.

We live in beautiful country, but as anyone who has spent time in Northern Wisconsin knows, we don't always enjoy the best riding conditions. When it comes to riding in all weather, we have a lot of experience. Snow, sleet, rain, a couple of days of heat; we've got it all!

The inadequate protection found in chaps, leather pants, and standard jackets was all the motivation needed to get into designing and building motorcycle leathers. As part of the design process, we have road tested and modified this gear through several generations to fit the conditions. To make sure there are no annoying air leaks, we snowmobile at 20 degrees below (you find cold spots very quickly this way). While on the road, we check for excessive wind flap at high speeds (Dan likes to cruise at 80 mph). Primary consideration in the design of this product: comfortable fit while in riding position and durability over the long haul. This criteria combines with functional styling for a product that looks as great as it is effective.
