Leather vest extenders add room to a vest that has become tight, so you can keep wearing the vest - and the patches - you already love. This collection brings together our leather vest extenders: side-lace, chain and snap extenders in real leather for men and women. Every set of leather vest extenders ships free across the USA and worldwide on orders over $150. Shop below, or see all of our leather vest styles.
Side-lace extenders lace into the side holes of laced vests; snap extenders snap onto the front closure; chain extenders add a biker-style detail. Measure how much room you need around the chest and match the colour and hardware to your vest.
If you need more than a few inches, a bigger vest or a big and tall cut will look and fit better than extenders.
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.
Need a different size, leather, colour or pocket layout, or want your patches sewn on before it ships? We make custom leather vest extenders to order. Upload a photo and your patch designs on our custom leather vest extenders page and we will reply with a quote - you pay nothing until you approve it.
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.
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.
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.
