When The Legendary ‘Cutdown’ Black Denim Motorcycle Vest takes the classic riding vest and strips it down to what riders actually want. Built from premium 13.5 oz cotton denim, the Cutdown combines serious durability with a shorter, cleaner silhouette designed specifically for the motorcycle.

The defining feature is right in the name. The Cutdown is approximately 2.5 inches shorter than a typical motorcycle vest, creating a cropped profile that sits higher at the waist for a cleaner look and a more comfortable fit in the riding position. Less material bunching around your belt and seat, less bulk, and a sharper overall profile.

It’s also completely collarless. No shirt collar. No mandarin collar. Just a clean neckline that gives the Cutdown its stripped-down look and makes it easy to layer over a T-shirt, hoodie, flannel, or riding jacket.

It’s the kind of vest riders have been cutting down and modifying themselves for decades. We built it that way from the start.

Constructed from premium 13.5 oz pre-rinsed cotton denim, the Cutdown delivers the durability riders demand while remaining lighter and more breathable than leather. Inside, a comfortable nylon mesh liner promotes airflow and keeps the vest comfortable against your body during long days in the saddle.

The Cutdown was also built from the beginning with patches and customization in mind. Discreet easy-access zipper outlets inside the vest provide access to the exterior panels, making it easier to sew on club colors, memorial patches, military insignia, embroidery, and other personalization without sewing through or removing the liner.

Up front, a hidden full-length zipper sits behind the snap closure, preserving the traditional snap-front appearance while giving you the added security of a zipper when you’re riding.

Storage is serious. The Cutdown features two dedicated interior gun pockets for lawful concealed carry where permitted, plus two additional interior drop-in pockets for your phone, wallet, documents, gloves, or other riding essentials. Twin snap chest pockets and two exterior handwarmer pockets provide even more accessible storage.

Double-stitched construction reinforces high-stress areas for dependable use season after season.

The Legendary ‘Cutdown’ isn’t simply a traditional denim vest with a couple inches chopped off the bottom. It was purpose-built around a 2.5-inch cropped body, collarless neckline, patch-ready construction, comfortable mesh liner, and serious interior storage.
