BECK® 732 Northeaster
Chestnut Brown Horsehide Motorcycle Jacket
$815.00
The traditional Northeaster pattern in chestnut brown — 1.3mm front quarter horsehide with a color that has real depth in the sun and shows every mile.
Description
The BECK® 732 Northeaster Flying Togs in Chestnut Brown is the traditional Northeaster silhouette in warm-tone horsehide — same 1.3mm front quarter horsehide construction as the black, in a brown that develops more dramatic and visible patina with riding. Brown horsehide lightens and deepens at flex points and crease lines over time, producing a jacket that looks increasingly ridden-in with each season rather than simply worn.
BECK® has built the Northeaster since 1928. Natural scarring and grain variation are characteristics of authentic horsehide. Stitched with Perma Core thread by American & Efird (A&E). Polished brass hardware and YKK zippers. Racer snap collar. Two concealed carry pistola pockets, 9 inches deep. Cordura-lined exterior pockets. Side buckle tabs for custom chest fit. Quilted cavity lining, nylon Oxford sleeve lining. Bi-swing back and vented underarm gussets. Made in the USA.

You’re looking at it
Yes it's a heavy jacket, and after a day in it I understood why people say the weight is well worth it.
Classic flying-togs lines in a brown that looks vintage without trying. The color has real depth in the sun.
The pictures do no justice, what a piece of work this is. This is my first BECK since actually owning the previous BECKs back in the day.
Before you ride.
How long does horsehide take to break in?
Two to four weeks of regular wear. It starts stiff — that density is the point — then molds to your build and riding position.
Will the chestnut color change?
Yes — that's the appeal of brown horsehide. Creases lighten, shoulders deepen, and the jacket records the miles. No two age alike.
How do I care for it?
Sparingly. Dry cloth for dust; a neutral conditioner once or twice a year. Test inside a pocket flap first.
How should I size it?
Order by your actual chest measurement — the chart is in the Size Guide. Between sizes with a mid-layer? Take the larger.
Shipping and returns?
Free US shipping and free returns on unworn jackets. Full policy at checkout.

The Northeaster
The original pattern.
In a brown that earns it.
BECK® has made horsehide riding gear in the USA since 1928. The 732 in Chestnut Brown is the traditional Flying Togs pattern in a hide with real depth — vintage without trying.
Front quarter horsehide — 1.3mm
The Material
Chestnut horsehide.
Depth you can see.
Front quarter horsehide is the densest cut of the hide. In chestnut, riders describe a color with real depth in the sun that reads differently indoors — vintage without trying.
It starts stiff, molds to you over weeks, and records every mile after that.
“Cut, stitched, and finished in America — the way it has been done since 1928.”

Every 732 is cut and sewn in an American workshop that has never chased volume. Panels are matched by grain direction and every jacket is inspected by the person who built it.
That's why the label carries a signature line, not a batch number.

What Riders Say
4.86 from 22 riders.
Riders talk about the weight heavier than most mid-weights, and worth it after a day in the saddle — and about a chestnut color with real depth that reads vintage without trying. Returning BECK owners from decades back say the pictures do it no justice.

Every Review
All of them. Unfiltered.
Very nice jacket and excellent quality
I was expecting to be hard leather but it is soft I can tell would be one of my favorite jackets
Chestnut brown was the whole reason I picked the 732. Elbows and shoulders have started to lighten a little after about two months, and I love how it looks. The racer collar sits flat and the pistola pockets are deep enough that nothing shifts around when I ride. Break in was longer than my old cowhide jacket, no surprise there. If you want a jacket that changes with you, the brown shows it more than black will.
Yes it's a heavy jacket, and after a day in it I understood why people say the weight is well worth it, it's a little thicker than most mid-weights I own, A+ jacket, had to be made as there was limited sizes in stock, took 2 weeks.
We appreciate the review and your patience during production. Many of our Made in USA horsehide jackets are produced in limited runs, and we’re happy the quality justified the wait.
Classic flying-togs lines in a brown that looks vintage without trying. The color has real depth in the sun, it's funny indoors it looks different than when the sun hits it. I love this jacket.
Thank you! Chestnut brown horsehide has incredible depth and character, especially outdoors. It’s one of those colors that continues revealing new tones depending on the lighting.
The pictures do no justice, what a piece of work this is. This is my first BECK since actually owning the previous BECKs back in the day. All I can say is this a really excellent jacket for half the price or maybe even 1/4 the price you'd pay elsewhere. I personally love all the minor imperfections that horsehide brings to light. again, super please and I am already eyeing up the distressed one you guys make. Until next time, Ray
Dear Legendary, I received my beautiful BECK 732 yesterday in brown. What a fine jacket you've made, the fit is perfect and the horsehide feels excellent. Looking forward to wearing this all fall when things cool down out here in PA.
This jacket is the one I always wanted. Excellent build very warm cool looking jacket.
Switched on from one of my brothers, definitely worth every penny. The fit, the break in everything about this cut is ghrea. t
the horsehide & quality can't be beat. I informed Legendary that their size chart was wrong, they ended up changing it. Good people to deal with, they pick up the phone and were helpful. Over 5/5 they are legit. - Dustin
what a terrific jacket, I'm a traditional horsehide collector and this jacket certainly meets all my expectations. It was great dealing with you guys and thank you for all the hospitality.
the pictures serve no justice, i suggest legendary get some model pictures the jacket is so much better in person!
Nice products but slow shipping. Took a week to get my jacket. They sent the wrong size. You would think they would expedite the shipping on the replacement but no. Took another week to get the correct size
Excellent customer service! This jacket is made well and will require little to no break in. Comfortable out of the box!
huge collector of horsehide motorcycle jackets, this BECK certainly checks all the boxes from the fit, style and distinguished horsehide. I am pretty particular, but for the price and brand this really is a valuable jacket and one that is not just classy looking, but it's mean to be worn while riding. My next BECK purchase will be the new horsehide riding shirt. Hope that helps. ~Fabian
Excellent quality, fit and style. Exactly what I was hoping it would be like. Rode with it last weekend as it's starting to get cooler out and it's leather weather time! Couldn't agree more with the last post I read on the reviews. You won't find this quality of made in USA for this price point. Well done Legendary USA.
Nice jacket I was expecting to be very hard bu it’s nice and soft very good quality from USA workers
I think is a good value sounds expensive but if you think all they have to pay to make it, materials labor insurance taxes…
I order a 40 I’m Medium and it feel tight they exchange for a 44 gives room for layers :ok_hand:
First of all 5 star service from Legendary USA. I was probably really annoying because my size is a bit awkward 6'6 260 and I have a longer torso than the average 6'6 and my arms are oddly long. I called them, and played phone tag, finally got Kimberly on the phone who then had the owner Chris call me back. Anyway, we went over my measurements on the phone, he had me take some new arm, belly, chest, neck, neck bone down to wear I wanted the jacket to fall too. Long story short, he made me a custom jacket and it was only like $50 more for custom. I was torn between black or chestnut, but Chris told me his new chestnut brown skins were really amazing and even offered to send me a sample of the leather. I didn't take him up on that, I trusted his opinion and more so I already have a ton of black biker jackets. It took about to weeks, which was not a problem. When I got the jacket, immediately knew I made the right decision. I am beyond happy with it and what a great experience. 5 Stars because if there was a chance to add more stars I would have. -Sgt. Patrick Z.
Dear Legendary USA,
The jacket is perfection, however because my jacket got lost and although you made it right and got me a new one, I really needed it for a trip that I was leaving for a national run. I know it's not your guys fault, but it left a sour taste in my mouth about FedEX. Chris the owner of Legendary fought tooth and nail to figure it out, but he ended up making me a new one within a week. I do up they found the jacket and I did not mean to cause any drama. Thank you again for being so kind and I'm grateful to work with you guys again and tell all my friends and brothers. 'Jumbo'
I would give it 4.5 stars ONLY because I ordered the custom and I or they took down the wrong sleeve length. All good, just some shipping back and forth and a little wait time.
The jacket itself is a dime piece. I love quilted lining and feel like they couldn't have done anything better. I do notice that they stick to chestnut brown and black horsehide. Curious why? It'd be great to see a new tan of some sort. Again, great work, just wish I got it sooner and didn't have a sizing issue.
First time ever wearing horsehide and I noticed the difference immediately, feels like a glove around me, but still has great movement around the gussets. I think that BECK did a great job and the chestnut brown is really unique and honestly beautiful. I get compliments every ride I'm on, I feel ultra protected as well.. Hard to explain. I would recommend this jacket to anyone who seriously rides. First time shopping at Legendary, and happy I did, the box it was delivered ton of free Legendary stickers, a shirt just really cool. Glad to see a mom & pop business. Keep it old school Legendary. Thanks, - D. Watson
Thank you for being Legendary!
I love this jacket! Just screams quality in every way.going to take a little time to break in the horse hide but it feels great so that won’t be a problem.highly recommended.
Received this last week. I pre ordered it and thankfully I did. These guys are doing great quality work at a very reasonable price considering it's horsehide. Such a smooth jacket and love how I look when I'm cruising around town on my bike. Definitely worth it and i like that they are using their BECK TM. I Support Legendary USA, always have always will.
