If you are an avid biker or Harley enthusiast, you have probably heard of the popular brand Fox Creek Leather. The now enormous company had humble origins as a side business for company owner Paul Trachy. After serving the army, soul searching, and riding bikes for years, Trachy settled down in the beautiful town of Fox Creek, Virginia. There he realized that he needed some extra money to support his family beyond his low paying job’s wage. The leather gear produced by Trachy and his family was originally sold at biker gatherings, drag races, and other slightly ominous events. Since then, the company has grown rapidly and now is a prominent figure in biker gear mainly sold online. Although it is possible to purchase the gear from on-site in Virginia, they have stayed true to their origins of producing great equipment from their at home facility. Still, Trachy warns, it is far from a retail shop and large snakes frequent the premise.
