Before you ride.

Is it a shirt or a jacket?

A riding shirt — straight hem, hidden snap front, no center zipper. It wears like a jacket but moves and layers like a shirt.

Why is it 1.4mm when the jackets are 1.3mm?

The shirt silhouette has fewer panels, so BECK® uses a heavier hide — more protection per panel while staying light enough to layer.

Does it layer under a vest?

That's the design — the straight hem and snap front slide cleanly under a vest or patch cut.

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.

The Flying Togs Line

Not a jacket.
Something rarer.

BECK® has made horsehide riding gear in the USA since 1928. The 302 is a riding shirt in 1.4mm front quarter horsehide — a heavier hide than the jacket line, in a cut that reads as a work shirt and layers like one.

The Material

More protection
per panel.

The 302 runs 1.4mm — heavier than the 1.3mm used across the BECK® jacket line — because the shirt silhouette carries fewer panels.

Light enough to layer. Still ultra tough. Riders call it the toughest riding shirt they've owned.

Construction

Overbuilt, on purpose.

Hidden snap front

No center zipper — the clean shirt front that layers under anything.

Straight hem

Reads as a work shirt, sits clean under a vest or patch cut.

Zippered chest pockets

Two drop-in chest pockets that hold at speed.

Concealed carry

Two interior concealed-carry pockets seamed into the front panels.

“Cut, stitched, and finished in America — the way it has been done since 1928.”

The Workshop

Sewn by hands
that ride.

Every 302 is cut and sewn in an American workshop that has never chased volume. Panels are matched by grain direction and every piece is inspected by the person who built it.

That's why the label carries a signature line, not a batch number.
