How to choose a men's western vest
A smooth leather vest in brown or black is the most versatile, from a ranch to a wedding. Suede adds texture and a traditional feel; fringe is for rodeos, concerts and festivals. Pick a vest that sits close over your shirt and finishes at your belt buckle.
How to wear it
Pearl-snap shirt, dark jeans, a good belt and boots. Add a hat for the full look, or skip it and wear the vest over a henley for something more casual.
Size and fit tips
A western vest should sit close over your shirt and finish at or just over your belt buckle, so it looks neat with a western belt. Buttons or snaps shouldn't pull when closed. Compare a vest or shirt you like with the size chart on the product page, and allow a little extra room if you wear thicker shirts. Use our leather vest size chart if you are unsure.
Caring for your vest
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.

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.
Wearing it through the year
From summer evenings to cold winter mornings, a leather vest earns its place. Wear it over a tee when it's warm, add a hoodie or flannel as the temperature drops, and switch to a puffer or sherpa vest in real cold. Condition the leather twice a year and it will keep looking good season after season.
