I've got a couple vests from Milwaukee Leather.... They can be had at discount prices ($70-$110) but are a quality leather vest....

I've noticed that one of my favorite styles is no longer available, so not sure if they are changing styles, downsizing, etc...

I got mine years ago. It's a Li'l Joe's or something like that. Supposedly they supplied the SOA wardrobe department with their vests. I have no idea if that's actually true, but hearing it bummed me out a bit. In any event, it's good quality and I like the simple styling of it. Overall very happy with it.

Antelope Creek Leathers (https://antelopecreekleather.com/men...?sort=priceasc) are good quality, and price isn't too high, either. They come to quite a few of the rallies, so you might be able to find them cheaper there. However, if you're wanting "lighter weight", I'd probably go with denim or mesh/textile instead.

My preference is Coronado Leather, but the are pricey and they no longer make that model that is my favorite.

I've always had Milwaukee Leather vests. They're great quality.
