Fox creek or little Joes (aka black magic apparel) you will pay for quality though!

The one I happen to be wearin' at the time. Or brown ones those are good. I like black ones too but I just wear those to funerals. Blue ones are cool but you have to pick the right situation to wear it. Divorce parties come to mind. Never, ever wear an orange one unless you're riding.

Hope I helped.

I am surprised and pleased that this has been here for 3 days without someone saying that if you buy a certain vest someone will kill you but if you buy another vest someone else will kill you.

I would strongly suggest going to a store and trying one on. I can see buying an item of clothing online if it is exactly the same as something you have already or have tried on.

Try a few on look for quality stitching and edge finishing etc. Not all leather vests and jackets are created equal. In my humble opinion both are items you want to get the best possible gear that you can afford. Buying based on "cheap" is a bad call.

Especially for leather jackets.

Are you looking for "leather" or "safety/hi-vis?"
