Construction & Materials
The Legendary LowLife Perforated is the ventilated version of the LowLife — 1.4mm naked perforated cowhide, same cropped fitted construction as the standard LowLife with laser perforations throughout for airflow in warm riding conditions. The perforations reduce heat retention significantly compared to solid leather while maintaining the full structural integrity and weight of the 1.4mm cowhide.
Same construction as the standard LowLife: single-panel back, leather-bound armholes, hidden snap front, cropped brass YKK zipper, two concealed carry pockets with bullet-snap quick-release closures. Cell phone pocket. Nylon mesh liner. Hand-cut and stitched in the USA.
Sizing: runs half a size smaller in the chest. Size up if wearing a hoodie or jacket underneath.

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?
American leather starts firm and gives with wear — a few rides in, it starts taking your shape.
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.

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 — leather 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 Material
Every hide is different.
Every vest wears in to its rider.
Full-grain American leather, cut and sewn in the USA. Grain shift, scarring, and range marks stay visible — the surface is honest.
It starts firm and gives with wear, taking the shape of the rider underneath it.

Close to Perfect
"Great fit and amazing airflow. The only thing I’d change is adding an extra interior pocket. Still easily one of the best vests I’ve owned."
Breathable Without Looking Cheap
"Wanted something with airflow that didn’t look like mesh. This vest delivers—real leather, clean fit, and solid for club wear too. Would definitely buy again."

worth every dollar - love their brand
"first purchase I made was Legendary short wrist perforated gloves which I love, then I figure I would buy their perforated short cropped vest in perforated leather the lowlife, hands down the best perforated vest I ever owned. Huge fan of perforated leather, but theirs is by far the best and I will be spreading the word. -Billy"
