Women's Leather Vests for Riding and Everyday Style
A women's leather vest is the easiest way to add real leather to your wardrobe, on the bike or off it. This collection brings together every womens leather vest we make: fitted and laced biker vests, motorcycle vests cut for a woman's shape, western and fringe vests, cropped and long fashion styles and warm puffer vests. Sizes run from 2XS on several styles, with plus sizes available, and shipping is free across the USA and worldwide on orders over $150. Shop the styles below, or see all of our genuine leather vests.
How to choose a women's leather vest
Pick the shape first, because it decides how you wear it. A fitted or laced biker vest is shaped at the waist and looks sharp over a tee on the bike. A cropped leather vest finishes at the waist and loves high-waisted jeans. A long leather vest falls to the hip or below and works over dresses and leggings. Western and fringe vests suit country nights and festivals. Then choose the leather: lambskin is soft and light, cowhide is sturdier for riding.
Women's leather vests from casual to night out
Wear a black fitted vest over a white tee and jeans for an easy everyday look, a fringe vest with boots for a concert or rodeo, and a cropped or long vest over a dress for a night out. On the bike, choose a vest that closes fully and covers your lower back when you lean forward.
Size and fit tips
Fit depends on the style. A fitted or laced vest should follow your shape without pulling at the closure; a cropped vest should meet the waistband of high-waisted jeans; a long vest should fall straight over the hips. Compare your bust and waist with the women's size chart on the product page. Side laces add a little room, and if you are between sizes, choose the larger one. 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.
