How to choose a suede vest
Suede is the inner side of the hide, brushed to a soft nap. It looks warmer and more casual than smooth leather and suits western, boho and festival looks. It needs more care in the rain, so for riding in all weather choose smooth leather instead.
Suede through the seasons
Suede is perfect for dry fall days and summer evenings. Treat it with a suede protector spray before the first wear.
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 suede
Brush suede gently with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove dust; it doesn't need conditioner. A suede protector spray helps on damp days, and if it does get wet, let it dry naturally before brushing. Hang it on a wide hanger in a breathable bag.

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.
