Good choice! I found a lil joes on ebay but it turned out to be too small. Very well made though. Bought an $80 pakistani vest and especially the inside is just crap. Lesson learned. I will probably grab a reaper as well.

Legendary is good quality. If you are going to patch the back you might be better off with a solid one piece back.

I have a Legendary Leather vest, but not the one you are considering. Mine is very well made, as has been the case with my several Lengendary purchases. Also, I've received a blah blah blah Fox Creek blah blah blah vest as a gift and it is also a good choice. You would not go wrong with either company if they have the particular style you seek.
