Maybe I'm missing something.... How about Harley Davidson's leather vests? They make really nice ones. https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/e...t/p/98109-16VM

Went with FM Lowside. Its the only vest that puts me in the correct size. Everything else is either too big or too small. I am in between sizes which sucks. Plus, this one is shorter so it will not bunch up.
My plan is to see how it fits. If its off, I will make a custom one based on sizing and return this one. I didnt want to go with custom without knowing for sure it would fit because I wouldnt be able to return it.
I made this awesome custom vest with perforated bottom part, different color stitching. But the damn sizing is off! ☹️ Large is too small, XL is too baggy.
This one runs 1/2 smaller, so XL puts me in perfect fit.

Well see how this one fits. If not, I can always return it. I noticed those vests come with a shorter zipper anyways.

I have mentioned this in another thread, but I have had a Howard's Leathers jacket for decades and it is fantastic! I recently bought a vest from them, and it fits well, has nice pockets 
, and seems to be just as durable as the jacket.
Happy customer, would recommend. https://howardsleathernh.com
