Kind of stumbled upon this vest and glad I did! Came in very quickly, packaged nice and neat. This will be a Christmas gift for my special guy, and I can't wait to give it to him. The patches are awesome, those alone are worth the price. Love that leather smell, and it looks like it is pretty well made, lining is very nice also. The weight of the leather was fine, as I was a little concerned when reading some of the other reviews. I have paid a lot more for a lot less quality in the past. Anxious to see his reaction......Ms. Claus did good this year! :) I would definitely recommend this vest.
