Default Pins and Patches

Can someone tell me where I should place patches and pins on a new sleeveless vest?

Isn't a vest with sleeves a jacket.

Your HOG patch and “Live To Ride” patch go on the left side. On the back you can put either “HOG”, “Lone Wolf” or “SOA” patch but don’t make the mistake of using more than one, that would go against protocol! On the right side is where you want to put all your run pins, don’t worry if you don’t have enough, just get them from eBay.

Judging from the responses if I ever get a vest I will put the pins and patches on the outside.

You just can't get better information anywhere

Also if any of you made the mistake of not putting them on the outside, just turn that sucker inside out, brilliant huh?
