The quality and styling of the Viking Vest is outstanding! The stitching is solid, the hardware is strong and the quality of the leather is great! The leather is soft yet holds it shape. The interior pockets are great for concealed carry of just extra pocket space. The lace up sides give it a stylish and edgy look. I am very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend! N Catherine Josephe was the best to work with. She answered all of my questions for an easy and quick purchase!
