im a fan of Fox Creek Leather. They have a summer vest of perforated leather that is top quality, like all their products. Just an opinion.

You will NOT be disappointed with Fox Creek Leather. Their products are AWESOME and customer service is great as well!!!! If you are not sure about the sizing, give them a call.

Goodwill usually has a few leather jackets. I would just pick one of those up and remove the sleeves.

I have an excellent Fox Creek side laced vest, but it's slightly too big so I don't wear it. It's a 46.
$200 shipped and it's yours.
