Garrison Bison Leather Vest with Concealed Carry Pockets

VERIFIED REVIEWER

I like others initially had sticker shock with the price. However, after receiving the best I think it is one of the Best Buy's I have ever made! The quality of the leather is absolutely flawless as is the contrasting stitching. The leather is soft, supple, and thick. The vest weights about 3 lbs. but it doesn't feel heavy. It is substantial though. The two tone color allows me to wear this vest with just about everything. The way it is cut allows you to wear as a Western Vest or as an Urban Vest. My pistol is medium large and it still fits nicely. If you are on the fence with your purchase, I would STRONGLY encourage you to make the purchase. You won't regret it.

Vest gets comments everywhere I go. It is an attention getter. Thank you for the quality product.

Love it but it's a second I returned the first because the hanger hook broke when I pulled the price tag off??? This one seems so soft and no leather smell makes me wonder if it is a fresh one??

I bought a buffalo hide vest from Overland as protective body armor when riding my motorcycle. It is the highest quality leather vest I have ever seen. The craftsmanship is literally unbelievable. I was "sticker shocked" when I saw the price but it turned out to be a great deal. No one else on Earth offers a product like this; I don't know where else I could find a product with this kind of quality and craftsmanship. So be careful, if you put one of their products on you are going to buy it...You have been warned!

Great design with w color leather trim and buffalo buttons. Substantial length provides overall comfort and style while still affords great carry function.

The bison vest fits perfect and draws attention. It is first class quality in craftsmanship. The vest is heavy but you never know it when wearing the vest Because you're look'n too cool . Has great looking western styling and more of that great leather smell then you can imagine, This vest will probably cause my other three vests to never get worn again . I have worn it in wet 20 degree south texas weather and was not cold at all. I'd say that almost every one that feels it wants one. The vest has five nice usable pockets and a pen holder. The concealment pockets take up almost the hole side and can store pretty much anything . I carry a small pistol and feel confident that it can't be seen and in no way fall out . In short " buy one" no need to shop any further .

I bought this vest as a Christmas gift for my husband. Once I took it out of the box I saw many imperfections on the front and on the back of the vest. I immediately called the Santa Fe store and they said to bring it in. At the store I showed the salesperson all the flaws and she brushed it off by saying that's the way the leather is. She had 2 other vests at the store and asked if I would be interested in exchanging it for one of them. Upon inspecting those vests there were holes at the seams, scratches and a spot where it looked like some sort of glue was placed to close a hole. The two vests had more defects than the one I originally bought, so I just asked for a refund. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS. In my opinion the product should be close to flawless for the amount of money they charge. I will not be purchasing from this retailer in the future either.

will use this vest while riding my motorcycle.

So far I've purchased three of these Coronado Bison Vests. I bought the first while visiting Alaska. It's a heavier weight vest with a nice wool lining that's perfect for days between about 30-65 degrees, with a warm sweater for cooler days. The second I purchased in Overlands' store in Park City Utah. It's a lighter weight with the concealed - carry pockets. It's comfortable on its' own and "dressy" enough to wear with a sport coat. The third I bought in Overlands' Lake Geneva, WI store. It's the one pictured here, however the one I purchased is without the concealed - carry pockets. The design is classic old west style and goes great with a leather sport jacket and your favorite cowboy boots. It's a given, living in Chicago I like clothes you won't see everyday on Michigan Ave. if that's your style, match up your favorite jeans, boots, one of these vests & one of Overlands' linen shirts & you'll not only look great and make an impression, you'll be extremely comfortable too. I'm a 4 time cancer survivor, so I wear what I want, with an emphasis on comfort. You only go 'round once, I say wear what makes you comfortable & happy! Overland fills that bill. Enjoy!
