Hooded Leather Vests

Leather Vest With Hood: Hooded Leather Vest Styles

A leather vest with hood adds a casual, street-style edge and a little extra warmth. This collection brings together our hooded leather vests for men and women, in real leather. Every leather vest with hood ships free across the USA and worldwide on orders over $150. Shop below, or browse all of our leather vests.

How to choose a hooded leather vest

Fixed hoods give the strongest look; removable hoods let you switch between a hooded and a classic vest. Many riders get the hooded look by wearing a hoodie under a leather vest instead - both work.

Vest over hoodie

If you already own a leather vest, a hoodie underneath gives the same look; size the vest so it closes over the hoodie.

Size and fit tips

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.

Caring for your leather vest

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.

What makes a good leather vest

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.

What to wear under it

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.

A vest for every season

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.
