Default Leather Vest Hardcore Biker Supplies?

Anybody have any dealings with Hardcore Biker Supplies?I want to pick up a leather vest for warm weather rides and a conceled carry pocket is a must.I like the Lil Joes vest too but I don't want to put that much money into a vest if I can keep from it.Any suggestions?Thanks

I love my L'il Joes and see it this way. I might as well get a quality vest as this way I will still be wearing it in 20 years as opposed to wearing out a cheap vest and buying another and another...

I have both, the Hardcore vest is 1 or 2 steps down from the Lil' Joes in fit, finish, and quality, it is still a good vest though, and for the money spent you will like it. The Lil' Joes is just that much better, it is the best of the best, and well worth the money. Call Dr. V-Twin and they will get you a better price on the Lil' Joes. I found out too late and spent an extra $ before I knew better. I still don't regret the purchase, the Lil' Joes vest is awesome. If you wear a large to x-large T-shirt, order a size 2X-L vest.

I tried on a LiL Joe's at Daytona last year and loved it. However, I purchased the Hardcore Bikers vest for less money, which is I feel is close to the same quality. Regardless which one you buy, they're both better than most of the crap out there. I wasted $50 on my first vest that looked like a $50 vest.

The Hardcore vest is much thinner leather. More like a leather sleeveless shirt than a vest. As long as you don't mind that, it isn't bad. My wife got me a Lil' Joe's for my last birthday. I couldn't be happier.
