You’re looking at it
I ride a Street Glide and at highway speeds a boxy vest becomes a sail. The 882's tapered cut stays close to the body.
The tapered fit on the 882 is noticeably slimmer through the waist than the 566 or 501. If you've been riding in boxy vests, this is different.
I gave them my measurements and their sizing help nailed it, so it fit right out of the box.

The Workshop
Sewn by hands
that ride.
Every 882 is cut and sewn in an American workshop that has never chased volume. Panels are matched by grain direction and every vest is inspected by the person who built it.
That's why the label carries a signature line, not a batch number.
Double-needle seams, matched by grain direction
