Are you gifting this to one of the members or do you plan on doing so? most clubs aren't keen on non members flying their colors or logos.

im sure you know this...

[DustinSmith]

Oh no flying those colors is a big no no where I'm at unless you're a patched member, this was commissioned by a member, heres the matching belt

Originated 1947, In Hollister, California,By the AMA (American Motorcycle Association)Describing the Motorcycle Culture & Lifestyle, to the media/press, basically saying that out of 99% of all motorcycles riders, only 1% are Bad,Thus the Outlaw Bikers Gangs were labeled as the 1%ers, Originally the oldest & most notorious being the
HELLS ANGELS!

 

Copied that from the net. 

 

In some areas the 1%ers are considered ones that have killed. 

 

 

And here is another write up on it as some try to shed the negative notions associated with 1%er. 

What is a Outlaw MC 1%er Today Written by Vulture 1%er († 2018) If you read the papers or listen to the news, the media and law enforcement agents have redefined the term "1%er". As we all know the term was first used in the 60’s to describe some of the people that attended the motorcycle events back then. The AMA (American Motorcycle Association) stated that 99% of the people at their events were god fearing and family oriented. The other 1%er were hard riding, hard partying, non mainstream type people. Thus the term 1%er was born. Some of the early bikers embraced the term and decided to call themselves 1%ers. It did not mean that they were law breakers or low life individuals. They were simply men that rode their motorcycles seven days a week in all kinds of weather, liked to drink and raise a little hell. Sometime during the 80’s law enforcement changed the meaning of the 1%er to what they wanted it to represent. It didn’t matter that their meaning was incorrect, they just spoon fed it to the general public and the courts as they had so many other things. The Outlaws Motorcycle Club is rich in history and tradition. One of those traditions is the wearing of a 1%er patch on our vests and referring to ourselves as a 1%er club. The 1%er definition as we see it is one that explains our commitment to Biking and Brotherhood. We ride our motorcycles every day rain or shine. We ride thousands of miles each year with our Brothers to attend parties, social events, funerals and just plain spending time together. We work, have families and do all the things that our neighbors do. In addition to that we belong to a Brotherhood that we are able to combine with our day to day lives. To say that 1%er’s are criminals or people of a lesser moral code than the rest of society is a tainted opinion. The Outlaws Motorcycle Club is not a criminal organization. It is a motorcycle club. We have learned from the mistakes in our past and have worked quite hard to make our club a leader in the efforts of many clubs and bikers to insure that the 1%er lifestyle will continue to grow and stay a part of tradition for the coming generations of those bikers that have the same commitment to Biking and Brotherhood that the past and present 1%er’s have left to them. We may not live by the rules of society, but we do live by it’s laws.

 

 

 

 

Excellent work on the belt and walled. Very talented.

Thanks for the definition.  I was think that describes this group, about our passion for leather work, thinking about it,  working with it, teaching it, mentoring, and just plain fellowship!
