First Mfg Co - Blaster - Men's Motorcycle Leather Vest Club Style Biker Riding Vest

I was not sure about ordering a vest online without being able to see and feel it first hand. I read the reviews and decided for the price it was worth a chance. I took the measurements and am 6'3", a 43-44 inch chest and 190lbs which placed me in a XL. When I received the vest I was very impressed with quality, styling and length. The vest is a little large in the chest for me by 1-2 inches, but it will fit nicely over a hoody. The length is awesome, I have a long torso and the vest looks great when standing, however it does bunch just a little when sitting... Not an issue to me, but just want to make you aware. The concealed compartment is like I read in the other reviews. They pockets are big, deep and the elastic strap could be a little tighter for a standard/compact semi-auto pistol. It does include an elastic strap for a spare magazine which I don't recall reading in other reviews. Overall I was blown away by the vest and am very happy wih the purchase for $100. I would return it for a large, but I like the length and figure it will be a better fit in the cooler months with layers! I would highly recommend this vest!

Great product

Happy accident story! So, I'm kind of a big guy. 5'11" about 230-ish (I like to say most of it is muscle) with a 48" chest. I had ordered the large from the warehouse to save a few bucks and see if I liked the construction for future purchases. What I got, was actually an Extra Large. I was about to return it, when I tried it on, just for $h1ts and giggles. The vest fit magnificently, zipped up, I can fit my hands in it just like my IOTV from the Army. A few of the snaps have broken off (I think my tailor can fix it) and the rear of the collar bunches a tiny bit, but I'm assuming that's due to my weird body shape. I love this vest. Looks badass and conceals my fruit well. I may have to alter the fruit holder to accommodate an illuminated fruit (for late night fruit eating)😂 5 out of 5 stars here🤘🏽

Okay let me start off by saying that you're most likely in the same situation i was in. You kept clicking this vest but were doubtfull. Dont the cut is absolutely fantastic. My problem was that i was the size last size on large & the first on xlarge. I went with a xlarge and it fits well. But heres my full over view Hangs a little of the shoulders but its something i can get used to. The two inside gun pockets are deep. Like so deep i cant even see you bro. The two chest pockets are okay it could fit a galaxy s4 in it but it doesnt snap by just a few mm if that give you an idea. The two side pockets are nice and deep. The inside lining is all black theres no red on the cut at all, but thats no biggie. The zipper is kind of a downer because its plastic. Overall tho this is my first ever cut & i am very satisfied. Definitely recommend it. Peace&Pot

To start off I am often referred to as "Big Steve" ... I wear a 6x jacket (68" chest) and I know that leather wear often runs smaller. I was delighted to see that Leather Extreme offered a size 7x for their SOA Basic Cowhide motorcycle vest. It came promptly after ordering and it was beautiful. Heavy leather finished with high quality hardware (zippers and snaps) it has a full silky lining and lots of pockets. The problem was it was too small. I contacted the vendor and they were happy to exchange it for an 8x. I had my fingers crossed because I loved this vest. But it was also too small. I have not been able to find one that fits anywhere. It was a pleasure dealing with the folks at Amazon and the vendor Leather Xtreme has been great about this transaction hoping to make me happy. I would highly recommend any of the standard sizes although you should order a size larger to be on the safe side. As far as the big mans sizes 3x - 8x maybe two sizes larger would do the trick. They are worth it. In fact they are a real bargain for this kind of quality. If I can drop some serious weight I will be their customer again.

Great vest

not really the same vest as in the picture but still a good quality vest

This vest is exactly as described. The leather is of high quality, nice thickness and very durable. The lining is black and not orange/red as pictured. The sizing is correct, I am 5'9" 195lbs and I ordered a medium and it fit perfectly. The pockets and snaps are great. The inside pockets are deep. The elastic "gun holsters" will hold a gun in place but you are not going to remove your weapon quickly from these pockets. The zipper is a nice touch although it could be a little higher quality. That is really a minor complaint because the zipper is pretty good as is. You will not be unhappy with this vest.
