Wanted a plain traditional vest and this one does the job. The one panel back looks clean and the side laces let me get the fit just where I wanted it. Lambskin feels nice from day one so there was almost no break in. I ordered my usual size and it fit well through the chest. Pockets are roomy enough for my phone and wallet.

Finally a women's vest where the shoulder seams land where they're supposed to. The Beth's lambskin is buttery soft and the fit through the chest is right. Wearing this at least twice a week.

I've been commuting by motorcycle for three years and I'd been wearing a synthetic vest because I didn't want to spend real money on leather before I knew I'd stick with it. Three years later I'm still riding, so I bought the Beth. I wasn't sure what to expect from lambskin but it's noticeably softer and more supple than any faux leather I've handled. The vest is cut short enough that it doesn't ride up on the bike but long enough to cover the waistband when I'm standing. I use it for my daily commute and for weekend rides with my women's riding group. The pocket placement works — I can reach them without looking down. Zero complaints about construction quality.
