It is the standard pattern — the one most people are looking for when they search for a leather vest — and it is built for the job rather than for a shop window. Cowhide, double stitching, reinforced snaps, and a back left clear so you can add patches or club colours to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine cow leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular mens fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Snap front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry cloth, condition twice a year, dry naturally away from heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy cowhide for a vest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vest takes more abrasion than a jacket. It rubs against seat backs, bag straps and whatever you layer it over, and if it carries patches it gets stitched through repeatedly. Cowhide handles all of that. Softer hides like lambskin do not — they mark, stretch at the stitch lines and lose their shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCowhide starts firm and softens with wear while keeping its shape at the shoulders, which is what stops a vest hanging like a sack after a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe back panel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back is a single clean panel with no seam across it. That is deliberate: a back patch or set of colours needs an uninterrupted surface, and a seam running through the middle makes stitching one on much harder and weaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hide is heavy enough that a leather repair shop or tailor can stitch patches straight onto it without weakening the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnaps are heavy duty and set through reinforced tabs so they do not tear out of the hide — the point where most cheap vests fail. Seams are double stitched with heavy polyester thread. There are hip pockets outside and an interior pocket inside the left front. Armholes are bound rather than left raw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and styling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular fit. Take your normal size to wear over a shirt or t-shirt, and size up if it is going over a leather jacket. Armholes are cut to clear a jacket sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeans, boots, and a plain shirt or tee. Over a leather jacket it is the classic riding layer; over a shirt on its own it reads considerably quieter.

The back is a single clean panel with no seam across it, and the hide is heavy enough to take stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill the snaps pull out?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot with normal wear. They are heavy duty and set through reinforced tabs, which is what stops them tearing the hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this protective riding gear?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a leather vest, not certified protective equipment, and it has no armour or armour pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat size should I order?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour normal size over a shirt or tee, one size up to wear over a leather jacket.
