My suggestion is to go look at them. Try them on. Touch them. Look at the quality. These people can head you in the right directions on what to look for but till you touch it. It is a pig in the barrel. I shopped for a new vest for a couple of years till I finally found the quality, fit, look, price, and gun pockets I wanted.

hahaha I know exactly what you're talking about. I had the misfortune to waste a good 5 or 10 minutes of my life reading (paraphrasing now) The hells angles only buy a certain brand of leather, and if you buy that brand you could get killed. Especially if you buy that brand an put a rocker from a different group.

hahaha

I second that. I have one of their horsehide vests. Man, if the thing isn't bullet proof, its the next closest thing. The quality is amazing, fits great, doesn't flap the tinyest bit in the wind, and is reasonably priced.

Leather up is having a 50% sale right now. I bought one of their buffalo jackets by Xelement with great gun pockets. Worth a look maybe.
