From what my English friends say, definitely the US. Get thee to an REI store - or shop there online - they have everything you need, in the size, colour, features and at good prices.

what you can buy in USA for $100 can cost £100 here in the UK, and with the pound being nearly 200% of a dollar thats a big price difference. depending on what you buy you could still make a saving, including the airfare!

And if you can buy online, you save on the sales tax (7-8%). Just make sure you know what you are buying though.
Aerostich sells lots of motorcycle related stuff www.riderwearhouse.com and has a good no questions asked return policy. Cycoactive.com sells mainly Touratech stuff. If you are buying all your stuff from one shop at one go, discuss with the manager about a tax refund, its not as easy as Europe where you get a standard form to fill and your money back at exit but its doable. careful with cloths though, most American shops stock 'common; American sizes so if you are below 36 waist, getting trousers may involve a little wait!
