You’re looking at it
At first I wasn't sure if the 999 fit my personality, but when I put it on I fell in love with it. Normally I am a cafe racer type, but this is a true vintage jacket.
Well this might take 2 seasons to break in. I'm in no rush, that's the nature of real horsehide. Well done!
Kimberly & Chris were excellent, I could not decide between a 44 or 46 and ended up sizing up to wear more layers. The 999 came in looking better than the photos.

Before you ride.
Why a half-belt instead of a full belt?
The riders who collaborated on the 999's design chose it — the half-belt gives the vintage silhouette without costing riding range of motion.
How long does break-in take?
Real horsehide takes time — some riders plan a season or two. It starts stiff, then molds to your build and holds that shape for decades.
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 — riders who layer size up. The chart is in the Size Guide.
Shipping and returns?
Free US shipping and free returns on unworn jackets. Full policy at checkout.

The Northeaster
Designed with riders.
Built to buy once.
BECK® has made horsehide riding gear in the USA since 1928. The 999 is the top of the Flying Togs line — every detail argued for by the riders who collaborated on it: half-belt over full belt, no side laces, epaulets without jewelry.
Front quarter horsehide — 1.3mm
The Material
Front quarter horsehide.
The densest cut of the hide.
Mid-weight front quarter horsehide, drum-dyed black — denser and tighter-grained than cowhide at the same thickness.
Riders plan a season or two of break-in. That's the nature of real horsehide — and the point of buying once.
Construction
Every detail was deliberate.
Half-belt back
The vintage silhouette without the range-of-motion cost of a full-body belt.
Asymmetrical chest zip
A zippered chest pocket set on the angle riders actually reach.
Hidden left-front pocket
Concealed storage seamed into the front panel.
Epaulets, no jewelry
Shoulder epaulets kept clean — no decorative hardware to scratch the tank.
“Cut, stitched, and finished in America — the way it has been done since 1928.”

The Workshop
Sewn by hands
that ride.
Every 999 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.
Double-needle seams, matched by grain direction
Every panel chalk-marked to size on the BECK® bench
