I think they look pretty cool, something different you don't see all the time.
Old school.
As far as winter gear- is it wind proof? How well does it keep you warm?
Would really like to see more pics, please post some up when you get it.
As far as the negative comments made..... yeah, times have changed.

I was just out there not too long ago... they make great stuff, tailored and hand made right there in the shop. I saw these serape vests too, excellent quality, and have to admit the look is growing on me... something different.

Ah, I should have known you're just a run of the mill bigot who looks at something and pins his Fox News understanding of the world on it. I guess there's still a few of them left on Harleys out there, and on this board.
Good luck in your tiny, angry little world.

Of course. Espinoza's Leather has been a successful small business for more than 40 years, handed down pretty soon from father to son. And the vest itself is a hand tailored, leather reinforced, cotton lined and pocketed solid piece of riding gear.
As guys who actually own them have chimed in here.
I have no problem at all paying 180 bucks from an American small businessman making quality products. One who rides himself, and will hang outside the shop and talk bikes with you. But that's just me.

I'd suggest that this Fashion Police thread get kicked over to The Queens Of The Road Forum, but I'll bet that the ladies over there would get offended...
Then Georgia Girl would probably hit me with that whip...

[QUOTE=SoCalSoftailSlim;12169397]If it ever gets cold here again in SoCal, I've bought this as part of my winter gear. It's made to order and is supposed to be done next week.
It goes OVER your regular jacket, as opposed to inside it. So you don't get the Michelin Man effect of being all bundled up at the arms and shoulders. Looks kinda cool too.
Made by some well-known leather makers near East L.A. who do a lot of work for patched riders, and I believe the Sons of Anarchy boob tube show.
Espinoza's Leathers Serape Vest.
I have one had a zipper added. Two leather gun pockets inside for CW or storage. Made for MC use.
