While there are still some things that I need to do, to finish running through the full scope of this stunning Vest \u2013 I haven\u2019t sewn a single patch onto it because I can\u2019t imagine a leather needle and thimble combination that would be capable of getting through it, and I have holstered an automatic pistol in its purpose-built pocket \u2013 it\u2019s bedding in well enough to justify a long-term report.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In truth, it would probably need another ten years before the leather started to break in enough for it to start looking lived-in, but that\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n

Sized to wear over a conventional jacket \u2013 one above my normal fitting \u2013 it spends most of its life on top of a Victory \u2018Stealth\u2019, further anonymising an excellent blacked-out jacket that only bears an embossed logo on the front and back \u2026 and which has an American-V patch on one sleeve. And being the blacked-out version of the Vest \u2013 with black zips and the heads of any studs beneath the outer layer \u2013 that makes them perfectly suited: there\u2019s not a hint of brightwork anywhere \u2026 well, except for a flash of retro-reflective piping across the underlying jacket\u2019s sleeve, and that doesn\u2019t count.<\/p>\n

Forget jaune, this is distinctly gilet noir!<\/p>\n

Better still, both the vest and underlying jacket have two-way zips, which makes things far less frustrating when you\u2019re trying to remember which of the dozen pockets that are now at your disposal, your keys might be in. Invariably in the pocket of a hoody underneath both, by the way!<\/p>\n

As such, the combination of the two amounts to 5.2kg, of which the Hot Leathers Vest is nearly 2kg and makes a useful thermal contribution in winter on the right bike \u2013 by which I mean one where you\u2019re sitting reasonably upright, especially if you\u2019re also wearing belted leather jeans! It is very possible<\/p>\n
