I got 2 vests from 415 clothing, San Francisco. 1st one is a "club" style with 1 inch collar has the usual array of features. Very well made beautifully lined heavy duty zip. Can't praise it enough. 2nd one again club style but with 3/4 sleeves its an absolute beauty. Cheers 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🇳🇿🏴🇬🇧.. Great review by the way and glad that you are enjoying your vests.
@@BigSmittyRiding I don't live anywhere near San Francisco. As a matter of fact I don't live close to the United States. I'm about.. I think maybe 6 or 7 thousand miles from the west coast, down here in the south Pacific.. New Zealand. We have a massive motorcycle culture here..bikers are bikers no matter we live on this planet. Cheers 🍺 🍺
What size are you bro? I’m 6’4”’about 300, not fit by any means, but Jesus, I had to buy a 5X First MFG. My chest measures 56, waist is about 50. I took my vest to a local tailor who works on leather, she is taking the waist in so has more of a nice fit.
I had to buy a 5X as well. I’m way shorter than you at 5’10” but I’m at 300 myself. Those vests are sized for smaller people for sure! Thanks for watching!
Nice review on what you actually get when you spend the money, good quality wears is not cheap! You get something that fits your like a glove and you'll want to wear the rest of your life. I'm going to check out the first manufacturing, your vest looks killer with custom insides and stitching. Thank you for the shout out sir!!
Thank you for the suggestion! It helped me to have content for the vid. Yeah, you get what you pay for and I’ve had to learn that the hard way... Thanks again!
My vest was made by HillsideUSA , they make custom leather vests, jackets and chaps, I’ve had mine for 11 years. When I ordered it I had not planned on putting patches or pins on it because I ordered a perforated vest and the patches block most of the air flow. They have many different styles and leathers to choose from, mine has two leather gun pockets with small pockets inside them and 2 small pockets in the front and at the bottom of the vest. I chose buffalo nickel snaps with adjustable leather laces on the sides.
Thanks Jerry. I’ll have to check them out. I like seeing what vests other folks wear so I can tell people about all the options out there and which vests are worth the money.
Man I’ve got my First MFG vest and I have another one as my back up that’s a $100 vest as well. I ain’t gonna spend that kind of money more than once! I’m with you, being cheap helps me pay my bills! Thanks for watching!

Big Smitty, I wear a First Manufacturing Motorcycle Jacket, it’s my favourite Leather Jacket I own.
They make great quality products! My best is absolutely the best one I’ve ever owned! Thanks for the feedback!
Wilson Leather biker gear in Fort Worth in the Stockyards on N Main has vest like this and are often on sale for around $100 or less. Family owned.
Awesome! Thanks for the tip!
