Default Leather Vests
My return to HD riding has shown I have outgrown my old vest in more than 1 direction. Everything seems so cheap with scrap patch stitching and cheap pig leather.
Im looking for recommendations with sellers or manufacturers. My 72" height and 42" waist needs formidable leather.
any ideas?

I got a nice leather vest on clearance from one of my local Harley dealers. It's held up well and is beginning to age nicely, not a bad route to go especially on sale or clearance. I'm sure there are better and cheaper options out there as well.

Espinoza vest pic - heavy duty leather and heavy serape blanket combination. Best vest I've ever owned.

I was able to pick this one up form HD. Some rewards points from my HD dealer and my HD visa card I was able to get it for $75.

Here's a great company: https://coronadoleather.com/. Expensive but quality. They even make items from bison leather.
