What's seems to be a bigger fashion statement is to have a big fat chick on back. And you worry about how a vest looks?

I wear either a leather jacket or leather vest..... when I was 16 all the guys I rode with had vests and so I bought one to wear....... its just stuck with me....... I like to think if I went down it would save my back from road rash even tho my arms would get it.

Guess you didn't know vest wasn't cool. I think its just fine. This site thinks its gay. OMG. I'd rather wear a vest than tote a f#ckin whale on the back.
Guess that's why Harley is only moco that sells 5x and higher. All else go to speciality shop for that.

I wear a denim vest, but I wear it everywhere. It's more of a punk rock thing than a biker thing.
