Cut

[VERIFY] What is a cut? A cut is the sleeveless vest a rider wears as the carrier for their patches. The vest is the garment; the patches on it are what carry meaning. In organized club contexts a cut and what is on it is governed by rules that outsiders do not get to improvise with, so the practical advice for anyone not in a club is straightforward: do not put club-style patches on a vest, and do not touch someone else's. Club customs vary and are best learned in person.
