I like this vest for what it is. It's not over priced and it's what I expected from an above-par "leather" vest off Amazon. I haven't had it long enough to know the durability as of yet, but it seems fairly strong so far. It has a few stitching fly-aways and the zipper could definitely be a bit bigger for my liking. It's not exactly easy to clasp together and pull up. All the buttons and pockets line up nicely and it fits my Smith and Wesson .40 really nicely. I do like the gun pockets on both sides. The only major complaint I have is the over all cut of the vest. It is kind of awkward. The arm holes are a just too big, the neck is too tight the chest fits great a d the waist fits tighter than I would like. I usually wear a 2X so I ordered a 3X so I could fit a jacket or hoodie underneath. That definitely wouldn't happen with the way the cut is on this. I would have to see how the 4X fits but I'm gonna try to make the 3X work for now. You may find this vest to be just what you want. I find it to be good enough for now. Definitely still looking for a better, little bit pricier vest.

Its a good vest for the price . nothing great about this vest but at the pruce paid it is worth it . As for sizing I am 6ft 237lbs wear a 2x shirt and hoodie . i went with the 4xl and the fit is good . Can wear zipped comfortably and open with a hoodie . it is a bit big across the shoulders . and i have broad shoulders . if you are looking f o r a serviceable club vest this will do . The leather is very stiff will break in over time .

The product is very nice seems to be of good quality the only issue i had was it did not fit seller does offer returns so i sent back to get two sizes up. I am 5'10 @ 260lbs muscular build the XXL did not fit as expected i wear a xxl sweatshirt and shirt everyday i figured this would run Big at-least. Not the case seems to run small, and i bought it to plan on wearing a sweatshirt under for late fall Riding. I Would personally order at-least a size up from what you wear for a sweatshirt size Maybe two sizes. I reordered a 4x so well see how that fits.... But i also have a bulky muscular build so i guess it does change my fitment size vs a normal person......

Amazing vest! Definitely does it’s job by keeping the chill off of your torso. It needs leather conditioner used on it when new, just to soften the leather up. It’s a little stiff until it gets broken in. The gun pockets can hold a full size pistol and the gun strap inside of the pocket makes it nice to keep it in place. The phone pocket holds my phone perfectly, even with it inside the Otterbox. It’s made with strong leather, so its going to last a while. Definitely has some weight to it, so you know it’s made right. Great Job!!

The vest is great! Right off I wanna say that mine ran small. I am 6ft 290lbs I bought a 3xl because thats what I wear. A 4xl would be comfortable with chain extenders a 5xl would probley connect and zip. Ots hot in Florida so I ride with an open vest. That was my fault so no stars off. The vest is a heavy leather that has held up in the Florida rain and humidity. The pockets are deep and I have felt confident with my conceal carry. So far I have no issues with any of the snaps or threads and the price I payed for the vest vs. the wear and abuse I put ot threw, if something does wear out or a seam pops I am ok with it and would make the purchase again. I do want to repeat what I said in the beginning, if you got a big belly order bigger.

After reading hundreds of reviews on about a dozen different vest similar to this I finally decided to grit my teeth, make a decision, and pray like there is no tomorrow that I didn't wind up in a juggle of customer service and shipping to get a vest that fit properly. I am pleasantly surprised with this purchase. I bought the large size vest, I am about 39.5 in the chest (all the way around under the armpits). I feel it fits quite well leaving just enough room for a hoodie and a little shrinkage that comes with the territory of leather meeting sun and rain on occasions. I also fell in love with the concealed pockets when I noticed the wide banded stretchy magazine and pistol holder sewn into the pockets. Most vests I looked at were plagued with issues of the gun falling out the pockets when the wear leaned over. This product has two pockets (one each side) and each pocket has two snaps to close the pocket and the wide bands to secure it. I have a pt907 Taurus 9mm slim and it fits great. I love this jacket and contemplating buying a second in the next size up just in case Thanksgiving does a number on me. Hope this helps, I am always super skeptical about buying any clothing online due to not being sure of actual sizing. This one seemed to coincide with general department store sizing.

I am 5'11" and weigh 190lbs. I wear a 34" to 36" waist pants and with a shirt on, I'm right at 43" chest size with a shirt on. My dress shirts, I wear a Large. Sweatshirts, I wear an XL b/c I like them a little baggy.I bought an XL based on reviews I read. I got it and wow, it was big for my liking.I then ordered a L prior to returning the XL so I can compare them side by side and then I will return the one I like the least. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THE WAY THE LARGE FITS.The description of the item is spot on. I love the zipper/snap combo. I love the CCW in the vest. Again, Biker Zone was great. They allowed me to return the other item with no hassle. Because the item was free to ship to me, I'm only out the cost of the vest and the cost to ship 1 back. Small price to pay to ensure I am getting what I really want!!!!!. Great price jacket. I can't wait to put some patches on it and jump on my bike.I was able to zip the Large up with a long sleeve shirt. I even put on a hoody and yes, it was snug but not unbearable. Besides, if I'm layering up b/c it's that cold, I'd probably wear a full size jacket vs a vest. However, for a club that ask you to wear your vest and patches all the time, may look at getting the XL so it fits well over another leather jacket. But the Large fit me comfortably where the XL made me feel like I was a kid trying on my dad's clothes.
