Default vests

Is there a harley rule about the material vests are made out of? I work outside and could use a carhart vest while working and it could come in handy while riding on chillie days. Or under a carhart jacket on really cold days. Like last year in Daytona. It was freezing at 2 am

"Harley" would like you to only wear branded merchandise, and use a 28 piece "Live to Ride" picnic set for those pool parties in the summer.

"We" don't care what you wear- choice is good.

( although as a shareholder i urge you to buy at least a couple of T Shirts)

Mine is leather, a gift from my wife. I was honestly surprised at how much warmer I was on cool days. I also have two down vests that I use. It depends on the situation.

How do you know what material it's made of? Tape some feathers to it and it'll be a down vest. Why do I get involved?

Check with the "Poser Handbook" to be sure.

quilted carhart jackets/pants/vests are warm in the wind. make sure your sew or pin the tips of the collar down or they will beat hell outta your face.

You have chillie days in LA...is this when everyone eats chili all day long & needs a vest to prevent staining your shirt?
