Default Black Denim Vest

Can anyone recommend a good black denim vest? I tried one from leatherup.com but it had a collar that flapped too much. Thanks

In the words of Fernando (Billy Crystal), "it is better to look good than feel good". He has no skin left but man he looks like a badass.

Go to a tailor and have the collar sewn flat, or fold the collar in half and have it sewn that way. Problem solved.

Go to the sewing department at Wally World. Ask the nice lady for some snaps. I've had them on my Levi's jacket for more than 20 years, they work very well. Either that or sew on some velcro.

I have a L'il Joe's black denim best and it is very nice. Check out their site here.

I can get you a discount on the vest as well. PM or email for more info on pricing and sizing. Get the 1" collar and it snaps together so it won't flap and hit you.

Thanks!

Drew

The vests look good but I see that the smallest size is a large and being about 5'8 155lbs I usually need a small or medium though.

I have the black denim leatherup vest and like mentioned; just sewing the lapel's down cured the problem. If you don't like to sew there's always someplace to take it where they'll do it for a couple of bucks.
