This is the first product I've purchased from First Mfg Co. Now I'm not one to give 5 star ratings when they aren't deserved. This is well earned! First of all the quality of the leather and stitching are top notch. It is an absolutely beautiful rich brown color, with slight reddish undertones gives this vest a deep, complex character that is hard to find. I've been waiting a long time for a vest design like the High Roller. I've always preferred a zip up front because it feels more secure, comfortable and has better wind protection than snaps. But I love the nostalgic and classy look of snaps or buttons. This is the perfect setup with a zip front for security and comfort and then the snaps with a little extra leather overlapping the zipper for even better wind protection. The vest feels great and looks amazing. They even thought to add zipper openings on the inside liner to make stitching on patches much easier and cleaner. Concealed carry pockets with heavy elastic straps inside them to hold things in place so you don't have any flopping around. I just can't say enough good things about this product. You get a very stylish, well made and functional vest for a great price. I'll be purchasing more from them. I'm a happy customer!
