I'm looking for something to use on my motorcycle. I have a nice jacket with a cross draw pocket. It's local made and great quality. Unfortunately, they don't make a vest with a concealed carry pocket. I see quite a few of them advertised, but I'm not familiar with them. I can't tell if they're good quality leather vests or not.
Anybody use one? |

Check with the carry forum:

Might check out Sportsmansguide. Type conceal vest in the search box. They have a few. I bought the Ruger (not leather) and like it a lot. The leather vest look pretty nice for a good price and good reviews. I saw those. There are quite a few available with a google search. I just know nothing about them. They could all be crap for all I know. I figure with all the folks here, SOMEONE must have used one at one time. |

From a quick google search, I found http://www.legendaryusa.com/Leather_Motorcycle_Vest_s/18.htm
don't know anything about them, but they do seem to have a good selection. |

Coronado Leather is very nice for CCW. I have this one  http://www.coronadoleather.com/view.aspx?i=150&c=7&p=0 If you are tall like me they have an option for a 2" longer vest. Make sure to size yourself correctly. I carry a G30 and spare mags in mine. |

http://www.coronadoleather.com/ They make quality stuff. Never bought a vest but my wife has several of their purses and the are quality pieces. |

Is it good quality? Is it clear enough on back for patches? |

The pockets are big enough to carry a full sized 1911. Coronado quality is outstanding! Excellent leather, hardware and craftsmanship. The back is clear for patches, rockers, anything you want. The vest is also ambidextrous so it is gtg for lefties. |

Quoted: Nothing says I'M CARRYING A GUN quite like a CCW vest. Sort of ruins that whole concealed thing. Yeah I know right? It's like no one ever wears a leather vest while riding their motorcycle. OP will be picked out easily...  OP... Not for sure what mine is. A local guy makes them and I got it from him at a gunshow. But it is much like the ones pictured above without the thin liner in it. Can look when I get home. |

I see. That's great. The pocket looks much better than the CCW pocket in my jacket. I wear a 3XL glove so if I can get my ape hooks in there most everyone else should be GTG. 
Another thought as I ready to place my order: Does it print, and does it hang well? I can't imagine it would have too much support, given that it's a vest, but it should hang reasonably well, right? |
