Default Ok, who wears a vest?

I'll start, I've always worn one - looks the part. Now I wear it to show my affiliation.

I wore one, for over 10 years. Charlie smiled from the back. Now, I just have an old cut, made from a denim, and only 'cause I was tired of squeezing my cigarettes in my pants pockets. Now, I keep them in my right chestpocket, and can grab one at a red light, without any artistic intermezzo.

Sure, lots of pockets inside and out. All my men wore vests at our wedding. You should have seen the Minister pull a blade from his vest to cut the ring tied to the pillow. What a party!

I wear mine when riding with the club. We display our colors. But when riding solo, I usually like a tee shirt or a sweat shirt when it is cooler.
