Fit
True to size. Room to layer.
Order by chest measurement — there is room for a flannel or hoodie underneath. The chart is in the Size Guide.
Before you ride.
Should I size up to wear it over a hoodie?
No — order by your actual chest measurement. The cut already allows for a mid-layer. Riding heavy layers all winter? Take one up.
How long does the break-in take?
Leather models start firm and give with wear; textile models ride right from day one.
Can I put patches on it?
Most of our club vests take patches well. Check this model's back-panel construction in the photos, or ask us before your stitcher starts.
Shipping and returns?
Free US shipping and free returns on unworn gear. Full policy at checkout.
Why Riders Choose a Vest
Core protection. Full airflow.
Nothing between you and the ride.
A jacket is for weather. A vest is for every other day — cover over your torso, air on your arms, and a cut that works over a hoodie in October and a t-shirt in July.
Air moves
Full arm and shoulder airflow at 80° — where a jacket gets left home.
Nothing binds
Full reach to the bars — no sleeves, no ride-up, no bunching.
Layers all year
T-shirt in July, flannel in October, under a jacket in January.

The Details
Built for the ride.
Rider-first cut, hardware chosen to last, and construction that holds its shape season after season.
Check this model's photos and description for its exact materials and construction.
Fit
Fits over the hoodie.
Sits right on the bike.
Order by your actual chest measurement — the cut already allows for a flannel or hoodie without going baggy. Longer at the back hem so it never rides up off the seat.
On rider — t-shirt
Same size — over a hoodie
Same vest, same size, both ways — the whole sizing answer in one photo pair.
Fit — True to Size
Order by your actual chest measurement — see this model's size chart.

The Season
Built for the days a jacket stays home.
What Riders Say
“The Dakota is exactly what I was looking for — raw tan leather in a women's cut that doesn't try to be cute. It's a working vest for a working rider. I sized down one from my usual and it fits well. The leather has nice natural variation across the hide.”
Great vest, runs slightly generous
