I do like the look of that one you are considering. Please PM me after you get it and/or come back here and give a review of it, once you get it. I think I'll bookmark that link for later.

Talk to Dr. Vtwin and get a Lil' Joes. There is a difference, and they are the best.

Lil Joes is the best, Love mine, I have not seen a vest yet that even comes close to it in quality. And the large will probably work, you want it to fit over a sweat shirt at minimum for cool rides..i wear large and ordered XL and it was perfect.

I just bought a USA made zip-up vest on Ebay - cost me $8. No way I'd pay $169. My most expensive ever was a brand new Harley "Recoil" vest - $200 at the dealer, $65 on Ebay, with the tags still on.

I'm interested in the www.hardcorebikersupplies.com well. I've seen a ton of people say Lil Joe's makes the best vest but I just can't justify the premium price tag in the grand scheme of things. If anyone has one from hardcorebikersupplies I'd like to hear a review.

I agree. I wear a L'il Joes and it was far more expensive than I would usually spend, but I have been wearing it for several years now and it is still like now. Made in the USA too. That does it for me. American industry is nearly dead and I'll do what I can to continue to support the USA. PM or email me at DREW@DRVTWIN.COM for discounted pricing on L'il Joes.

I bought the 1" tab collar vest from Hard Core Biker supply. Its 1%er leather. This is a very very high quality vest. Leather is very thick and the stiching seems very well done. I took a chance because I didnt find much about them on here. Im 100% glad I did. You will not be dissapointed in the vest. I like it so much Im probably going to buy their leather jacket.

Oh and the shipping time and customer service were excellent.

Why a 1 inch collar? I find that collars just flap in the wind and drive me crazy.

IMO that is a big amount for a vest.
