Pick heavy leather for long rides, check that pockets and closures stay shut in the wind, and make sure the vest covers your belt line when you lean forward. Distressed brown hides scuffs well and looks better the more you ride; smooth brown looks cleaner but shows wear sooner. If you want patches, choose a clean back panel.
Black is the classic, but brown stands out in a sea of black vests at a rally and suits vintage bikes and western-inspired gear. Both are equally practical.
Sit on your bike in it. A riding vest should close over your riding layer, cover your belt line and lower back when you lean forward, and leave your arms free to reach the bars. It shouldn't flap in the wind, so avoid sizing up too far; side laces and extenders let you fine-tune the fit. Each product page has a men's or women's size chart. Use our leather vest size chart if you are unsure.
Patches sit best on a solid one-piece back panel. Lay them out with tape or clips first, try the vest on, then sew with a leather needle and strong waxed thread, or let us sew them for you on a custom order. See our leather vest patch placement guide for the classic layout.
Most of these vests are smooth leather: wipe them with a soft, slightly damp cloth, condition them once or twice a year and hang them on a wide hanger. Suede styles need a suede brush rather than conditioner. Whatever the leather, let a wet vest dry naturally away from heat.
Need a different size, leather, colour or pocket layout, or want your patches sewn on before it ships? We make custom brown leather motorcycle vests to order. Upload a photo and your patch designs on our custom brown leather motorcycle vests page and we will reply with a quote - you pay nothing until you approve it.
A good vest tells you exactly what it is made of, has straight, tight stitching, heavy snaps or a smooth zip, and pockets that close. Edges should be finished cleanly, and the armholes should be shaped so the vest doesn't gape when you move. These details decide whether a vest lasts one season or many years, and they are what we check on every vest we sell.
A leather vest is the easiest layer you can own: over a tee in summer, a flannel or denim shirt in spring and fall, and a hoodie or thin jacket in winter. Size it for the thickest layer you plan to wear, and keep the rest of the outfit simple - jeans and boots are always right.

Light brown shows road dirt a little more than black, but distressed and dark brown leather hide it well. A quick wipe with a damp cloth after a ride keeps it looking good.
