Okay, now let’s get into the world a Shipwreck in the Sand leather biker’s vests. But don’t make it sound as if we’re about to launch into a epic saga. Your goal is to learn what makes a leather biker’s vest so valuable. Not to hear a long lecture on the ethics of leather, or about biking history. Let’s not waste time and just get right to it.

Let’s begin by talking about the quality of leather. You’ve got options: cowhide, buffalo… even kangaroo if you’re feeling exotic. It’s full-grain that’s best. Ageing leather is the same as whiskey. The leather may show some signs of wear, such as scratches and scars. But that adds character.

We’ll now move on to the art of craftsmanship. Buy something cheap and it will fall apart in no time. Annoying, right? Finding a trustworthy mechanic is gold. Zippers, snaps, and buttons should all feel durable. No one likes to see their clothes fall off at speeds of 60 miles per hour.

Fit is key. It’s important to get the right fit. If it’s too tight, you will feel like a sausage in casing; if it’s too loose you may flap around as if you were a sail unmoored.

The classic color is black, but don’t shy away from browns and reds. But what about patches. And patches?

It’s time to move on. Mother Earth may make you feel queasy, or Fido might be your favourite. But there are vegan options that won’t peel or fade as quickly as your sunburn.

The fun of fabric meets the customization. It’s possible to make vests that are as personalized as your grandmother’s recipe. Don’t be afraid to experiment with embroidery, patches and other designs. Always remember that each new addition enhances your story.

It’s important to maintain this bad boy. Leather can be tough, but heat and moisture will make it resemble jerky. You can do a lot with a little care. Keep it clean, condition it and dry it out unless crisp leather is your thing.

It is not difficult to find the ideal leather biker vest. But, it’s important that you choose one with the qualities of a friend who stays by your side through thick and light (and does not judge whether or no you are singing along the ’80s hit songs). Wear your leather biker vest with pride.

Don’t forget, people: life is way too short to be wearing boring vests. You don’t want to waste your time with boring vests.

Just think how great your selfies would look if you had the new gear. We’re rolling in money here! Use these tips. Visit some stores or search online for vests that say “This me!” You can wear this vest together with your boss rider.
