This collection brings together every biker leather vest we make for men and women, from classic snap-front vests and club style cuts to laced, vintage and concealed carry styles. Every vest is real leather and ships free across the USA and worldwide on orders over $150. Shop below, or see all of our leather vests online.
Decide what the vest has to do. If you will wear patches, pick a style with a solid one-piece back and enough length for a top rocker, centre patch and bottom rocker. If you carry, look for inside gun pockets. If you want an adjustable fit, side laces let you open up the vest over thicker layers. Then choose the leather: cowhide and buffalo are heavy and tough and soften over time, while lambskin is lighter and comfortable from day one.
A classic biker vest usually has a collar and front pockets, while a club style vest is collarless with a clean back panel built for colors. Both work on and off the bike; the club style is the better choice if you plan to wear a full set of patches.
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.
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.

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.
