I dig JMax's two-tone Vanson to the limit but even more, I can't stop thinking about Monitor's Lost Worlds vest. Just too cool.
Thanks Kalmer! I was aware, looking for custom!
I get it. Guyswho join the big MCs, it's less aclub, more like a religion. They have to earn their colours (it's often very much not a pleasant process if they're one of the "outlaw" clubs - I'm told that's on purpose, to make it less attractive to Plod to try and infiltrate!), and they tend to get quite miffed if anyone wears anything too close to it or imitating club colours who hasn't 'earned' it. Respect them or no, some of them are not the kindof people you would choose to upset in that regard. Seems an odd qualification it wouldn't matter if you weren't in a club, though.
Me, I've always found it a bit naff to try and dress a cut up as if it is (unearned) colours... I mean, who's it trying to impress? Ladieswith athing for Hllywood fancy-dress "bikers"? The maddest are the guys who buy allthe "Lone Wolf / No Club" stuff, patch it out to look like an MC, the start facebook pages and invite other "no Club" guys to go on "no Club" runs with them.... er....
Anyhow.
Interesting a lot of the higher-end, commercially-made cuts I see now are increasingly designedto offer something more than just an extra layer - added warmthe, pocket for a back plate and such being options.
Here is just the D pocket:

I don't think I can go wrong here...
Saw a Guy outside a supermarket yesterday wearing a Fully patched leather vest with top and bottom rockers in my small market town, on closer inspection turned out he’s a member of ‘The Sons of Anarchy’...wearing that out in public???????I get it.

Well, love seeing all of these vests out there. Here's mine--anyone know why it might be making that crinkling sound? Maybe I should apply some leather lotion to it.

I didn't know Aero would make a vest like this (commences gnawing at fingertips)

That's either counterfeit or adapted, then.... While naturally SoA had a lot of fantasy and over-exaggeration about it, they really did do their research (and at least two cast members were genuine patched 81). I do remember reading one thing that they committed to was none of their merchandise would have bottom rockers claiming territory on it. That's the bit most likely to get him in trouble if he crosses the path of the wrong people.
