A leather lace up vest has laces along the sides or front that let you loosen or tighten the fit, so the same vest works over a tee in summer and a hoodie in winter. This collection brings together our lace-up and side-lace leather vests for men and women, in real leather.
A leather lace up vest has laces along the sides or front that let you loosen or tighten the fit, so the same vest works over a tee in summer and a hoodie in winter. This collection brings together our lace-up and side-lace leather vests for men and women, in real leather. Every leather lace up vest ships free across the USA and worldwide on orders over $150. Shop below, or browse all of our genuine leather vests.
Side laces add an inch or two of adjustment on each side, which helps between sizes, over thicker layers and as your build changes. Front-lace styles are more decorative and western. Make sure the laces are real leather so they hold up.
Start at the bottom, cross the lace through each pair of holes and tie off at the top. Replacement leather laces are easy to fit.
Every product page has its own men's or women's size chart. The simplest way to choose: lay a vest you like flat, measure across the chest and double it, then compare. Make sure the vest closes over the layer you'll wear underneath and, for riding, covers your belt line. If you are between sizes, choose the larger one. Use our leather vest size chart if you are unsure.
Smooth leather needs little care. Wipe off dust and road grime with a soft, slightly damp cloth, let it dry naturally away from heaters, and condition it once or twice a year so it stays supple. Clean carefully around patches, hang the vest on a wide hanger and never put it in a washing machine or dryer.

Check five things before you buy any leather vest. The leather should be named - cowhide, buffalo, lambskin or suede - not just 'genuine'. The stitching should be even and tight, with no loose threads at the armholes. Snaps, zips and buckles should feel solid and close firmly. The lining should be sewn in neatly, and the pockets should close. Every vest in this collection is real leather, and each product page lists the leather, closures and pockets.
In warm weather, a T-shirt, tank or henley. In spring and fall, a flannel, denim shirt or thin long-sleeve top. When it's cold, a hoodie or a light jacket, so size the vest to close over your thickest layer. Dark denim and boots go with almost every leather vest, on the bike and off it.
Leather vests work all year. In summer, wear a lighter or perforated vest open at stops; in fall, over a flannel or hoodie; in winter, under an open coat or as a warm puffer or sherpa vest; in spring, over a long-sleeve tee. Condition the leather before winter and again before summer to keep it supple.
