Well, today was a perfect weather for a vest. 65-70 degrees. So, I went out wearing this thing. First, the fit is perfect. I couldn’t ask for a better fit. It doesn’t bunch up, fold or anything. It’s perfect.

Now, after the ride, I am asking myself what took me so damn long to consider this. I wore it over the tshirt, and it felt great! I was surprised how warm I was. Wife and I went to get something to eat and I wore a flannel with long sleeves and I was colder than with tshirt and a vest. It takes away a lot of the flapping and wind. I now actually will ride with it whenever the weather permits. Hell, I might even do the sweatshirt and vest thing.

I am really liking it and I am glad I got it. Next year I am going to have a custom one made, now that I know the sizing and fit.

Thank you for all your suggestions. Lots of good places to look at in the future.

The Lowside looks like it fits the bill. 1.4mm leather, runs 1/2 size smaller than normal vest (puts me in between the sizes which I need) and is shorter to prevent the bunching up.
Looking forward to getting my SOA patches and a tattoo...
So are you getting a full set of SOA patches, like the large reaper center-back, top and bottom rockers etc?

Why would I joke about such serious matter? Besides, I like how it sounds. President Maxxym.
