Default Vest Chains

Well I finally broke down an got a vest. I joined the local HOG chapter and had to have something to put my patches on. Now I have to find some cool vest chains that tie between the snaps.[sm=biker.gif]

Any ideas?

Around here they're called vest extenders, for those of us that need a little extra around the middle I got an indian head one and ground it down, then glued one of my favorite pins to it. So far so good, it hasn't come apart. Guys keep asking where'd you get that?

My wife asked a dealer about them and was told that they were used to compensate for closet shrinkage.
I though the way she said it was funny as hell, like it was a great big secret or something.

Wow, for a minute there I thought it was anubisss asking this question Bought mine at the local leather shop, nothing fancy, just chains and snaps. I do criss-cross them though to make them look a little cooler I mainly use them so that the vest can fit over the jacket.

Did he tell them you were already out of the closet ?.......... Just kidding LOL

the vest extenders are a good price but the rest of the stuff from HD is way over priced as well as the ones on the second site
