Awesome @Shovelhead_Chris !! I hope to take some lengthy trips in the future, with no worries about time, or work, or having to be somewhere at or by a certain time… Is that a Street Glide? Hard to tell from that angle....

@Giles @Shovelhead_Chris This would definitely fix the jacket. http://www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html?lnav=dyes.html Go for the jet black. It's the blackest dye ever. Be careful to do this with old clothes and somewhere where you won't ruin everything with dye!
Get some soda ash and add it after the vest has soaked for an hour in the hot dye. Then soak it for another hour.

@Bluegrass thanks for the motivation. I got mine out for the first time today. Bought it in the summer but not worn it yet, thanks in no small part to my wife's reaction to it! Decided to keep the vest (and the wife), and your post made me decide "today is the day".

I like that. I'm not badass enough to pull it off but I like it nonetheless.

Thanks Guys - this had been on my "want" list since 2010, so it was great to be able to get into one.

Gave my vest a cold soak and line dry over the weekend.
Yep, it's still Super Black!
One of my favorite details is how cleanly the placket is sewn:
Only "Evo" is a bit of color lightening around the edge of the collar:

@Bluegrass a soak definitely brought the black coloring back out in it once all the dust and junk got cleaned off - the collar was a bit faded anyways before the soak, so I figured it would stay as such once it dried. Not an issue for me though, im sure it's just from abrasion from being folded back and running on the inside of jackets and stuff.
