Wore this to Sturgis last summer and it held up through five days of heat, dust, and a couple of rainstorms. Wiped it down each night and it came right back to looking clean. The shoulder padding keeps its shape even after hours on the bike. A couple of guys in my club asked where I got it because of how the back sits. Custom made and it shows. The wait is worth it — don't let the production time scare you off.

I specifically needed a vest with padded shoulders because I have a longer torso and flat-shoulder cuts always make me look like I'm wearing a tent. Reached out before ordering to ask about fit and they were knowledgeable and helpful. The vest came out exactly as described the shoulder structure keeps the front and back hanging correctly even at my size. My old vest lasted eight years; I'm expecting this one to outlast it.
Been riding for nineteen years and I've owned a lot of vests. The padded shoulders on this one genuinely add structure without making it feel stiff or overdone. It sits on the shoulder exactly right not drooping down the arm, not pulling toward the neck. The leather smells real and broke in fast, only took a few rides. Back panel is clean and solid, which is what I needed for my patches. This is my daily rider now.
The leather quality here is noticeably above what I've seen at rally vendors. It's thick, has a natural grain to it, and feels like it'll last a decade of hard use. The padded shoulders are a detail I didn't know I wanted until I put it on it gives the vest a cleaner drape across the back which matters a lot when you're wearing your colors. Stitching is tight and consistent all the way around. Really solid product.
Third leather vest I've bought in ten years and this is the first one where the shoulder seams lined up correctly from day one. Usually I have to break them in awkwardly before they stop pulling. This one sat right the first time I put it on, which tells you the pattern was made right. The black is a true matte black not shiny, not cheap-looking. Hardware is solid and the snaps have a good positive click to them.
Ordered a 3XL and it came out perfect. The chest and waist measurements matched what they had on their chart almost exactly. I've ordered from other sites that said custom and gave me a standard sized vest with my name on it this one actually felt like it was cut for me. Padded shoulders give it a more finished, intentional look compared to regular flat-shoulder cuts. Pockets are deep and positioned well for reaching while seated on the bike.
