Vests Are Sacred Items
One can easily identify a Hells Angel member by their iconic vest, as the emblem proudly displayed on it tells it all. Once a member has been upgraded from a prospect to a full-fledged member, the name of the clan is printed on the back of the vests with their logo. According to Sher, the vest is an important aspect of the group and is considered sacred.
If by chance, one of the members comes in contact with law enforcement and is arrested, they hand their vest over to another member for safe-keeping so as not to get it destroyed in prison. Shockingly, if they get injured and need immediate care, they will ensure the vests are protected while the member is treated.

Dress Code Is Important
There are different charters of the Hells Angels group, and the dress code may vary for each, but they are always very strict. A member of one of the charters told a magazine once that when he became a member, he could only wear black jeans and a shirt accompanied by the vest.
Interestingly, some of the charters will not allow their members to wear shorts and others only allow their members to wear all black. Some agree that their members may wear blue jeans and camouflage patterns. All in all, the various colors and dress codes help to distinguish one group from the next.
