    I am a Marine and Navy veteran. I spent 14 years proudly serving my country. I use my cut to display my pride in said service. To the knowing person (other veterans,) it gives them a brief idea into my service and often serves as a conversation starter with other veterans. In the veteran community this is huge because sometimes a random conversation turns into lifelong friendship and/or some type of worthwhile opportunity.

    I put on my cut because I was told I earned it from my grandfather. For me it's a part of who I am, and who I always was even as a child. When I was 15 my grandfather gave me his leather jacket when he taught me to ride on a 83 sportster. And to this day i still have my grandfather's leather. He made it and wore it after he came back from WWII. Its been a part of me and my life. In high school I wore my grandfather's leather every day. and continueed wearing it when riding. All the way up till I was in my 30s. In which I out grew it. For me its a family heirloom. That I will pass on to my children if the ever start riding. I know no other way to be. I feel naked. And incomplete with my cut. Even though I'm an independent.

    Started wearing a vest or cut, when I was young. Was a metalhead kinda thing. More influenced my motorhead than SOA. But it all took on a new meaning after joining a club. It's not just a look or an expression of interests to me anymore, but like a wedding ring. A binding symbol of the relationship I have with my brothers. Never put on a cut with anything on it other than my colors since.

    I have wore a leather vest while riding all my life. My old man made me wear one (not black) while riding dirt bikes. His thing was for me to protect my head with a helmet and protect my core body with a vest or jacket depending on outside temperature. I still ride with a vest/cut during the summer time and a jacket during spring, fall, and winter. It's definitely not trying to fit into any style.

      When I was a minor, we did shit like that by neighborhood. There was an upper/middle class "village" near us. We were a poor azz neighborhood. There was a story in the paper where they said "we want to block off our village so the undesirables from Madison Place will stop coming through here".
      So, of course we all cut sleeves off jean jackets, gas station shirts, anything. On top we wrote "UNDESIRABLE", then right below it was just a drawing of a hump, like a grave, with a cross on top. On either side of the cross was an M & a P.
      It lasted 2 generations.

    I'm a metalhead wearing cuts since the eighties when I was fifteen years old. Some of my friends who were much older formed a motorcycle club and they often took me for a ride on the back on one of their bikes. I was still young and I loved how they put so much effort in making their vests. They still embroidered their own back patches back then. I was a troubled kid with asperger syndrome and I was often on my own...I'm greatful they took me in as a friend back in those early days. It gave me back a lot of my self respect. They were the first people who really accepted me for who I am. And allthough I personally never owned a motorcycle and never really joined a club, wearing a cut or a vest has since these days always been a part of my identity as a metalhead.

    I use to wear a vest with no cuts, but after years of riding and spreading this way of life/two wheels culture to all of my friends, acting like a preacher, i gathered them around me. Step by step i learned all the things about MC rules and start teaching my friends about it. About 2 years ago i decided to make a logo that was approved by all of my friends and they all voted me as the President of the club...so we started a club. We made our own rules and i gave ranks to those with specific skills.
    We don't consider that we have to ask permission for this to the rest of the clubs. Me and my friends are ex special forces and we can deal any situation that might come up with the other clubs... We don't look for trouble...we don't mess in others business...but if they'll push us, well...it'll be their funerary...because you don't fuck with us. So now i wear a cut made by me and i run a club started by me and my friends...

I grew up with my father & grandfather riding motor cycles, and hanging out with bikers of all calibers. I'm not in any MC or club of any kind, maybe if I had gotten my bike in my 20's and not my 30's things would be different. I wear leather jacket up until its too hot to, then I wear my cut. Primarily for safety, and for storage of my wallet, phone, etc. I ride with MC's and hang with anyone. I do not pretend to be anyone I'm not.

      I was born and raised in the Bronx. Always loved the cowboy lifestyle. Worked with and rode horses from when I was about 16, became a professional rodeo Cowboy. Loved riding my horse for hours up and down the side of the Hutchinson River Parkway, Pelham Parkway. Loved the feeling of freedom riding, imagining I was riding the range out west which eventually I got to do here and there as I got older and my rodeo days progressed. Eventually hard riding took a toll on my back, but I still like the freedom of riding. I just turned 65 last week, but I had to switch to a Can am F3S Spyder. Got to be a little difficult holding up 2 wheels. My nic-name has been Cowboy for about 40 years. “The trails in life, they take a lot of turns. They go up hill and down, sometimes they get rocky, but the more you ride, the more you learn” yeah I wear a vest too. I have a big cow skull patch, a 2nd amendment, a flag over my heart, a proud dad USAF patch and a few patches from some rallies.

    I believe your analysis is 100% correct. It’s all about trends.
    Me myself saw The Warriors wayyyyy back and wanted to wear a cut. I was in to hiphop culture and started with graffiti 1984. The same year I made my own “Warriors” typa cut with my artist name on it. So it was nothing new for me when me and some friends started our MCC. We don’t claim city or territory but we sure checked with the local association that it was okay.
    The cut is a manifest of our unity. Essential.

    Growing up on the family farm and ranch properties I began wearing vests for utility. Leather for horseback and working, wool for winter warmth and brown or tan leather for riding my motorcycles.
    Today I have a dedicated tan leather vest (not a cut) with POW-MIA & KIA-WIA patches as well as Remembrance for lost Brothers and Sisters.
    I wear mine when I ride so many know whom I ride for and why I won't let them be forgotten.
    Keep up the great work!

Yeah, they look “Bad Ass” on us, but I HIGH SIDED 2WICE in my first vest and it saved my torso from severe road rash !

    For me, its somewhere to attach patches without ruining the watertightness of my main jacket, also I can wear the vest with my jacket, or an armoured shirt in the summer etc. The double layer of leather really helps keep out the wind in the winter. On the vest I have Odins Hammer on the back, but no top or bottom rocker, on the front are patches from rides and events Ive been to, patches to display pride in my kids etc. Really means to me that you could spot me in a crowd of leathers 8)

    #ghostin Folks seem to forget the reason the sleeves came off. The AMA used to present clubs with awards for attendance at sanctioned events and safety. These awards came in the form of patches that went on your sleeves. After Holister, the clubs that left the AMA cut off their sleeves to shed their AMA awards. Most also removed their AMA patch from their. One club that I am aware of still wears an AMA patch but now it is placed upside-down in defiance.
