Womens Leather Vest With Nylon Lining Bone & Beads

Womens Leather Vest With Nylon Lining Bone & Beads

The Womens Leather Vest With Nylon Lining Bone & Beads is a western-style waistcoat with decorative bone and bead trim worked across the front panels. It is real leather with a full nylon lining, which is what keeps the reverse of the beadwork off your skin and lets the vest slide on over a shirt without catching. The trim is where all the character sits — strung bone pieces and beads set in rows rather than glued on, so they move slightly as you do.

• Material: Real leather with bone and bead trim, nylon lined
• Fit: Regular fit, straight through the body
• Closure: Front snap or tie fastening
• Color: Natural brown leather with bone and bead detail
• Care: Dry cloth only, do not soak the beadwork, condition the leather twice a year

The bone and bead work

The trim uses tubular bone pieces alternated with smaller beads, strung and stitched into the leather rather than adhered to the surface. That is the important distinction: glued trim on a vest lasts one season, stitched trim lasts as long as the leather does. The rows sit across the chest panels in the traditional western arrangement.

Bone is a natural material, so pieces vary slightly in tone and length from one to the next. That variation is normal and is how you tell real bone from moulded plastic imitations.

Leather and nylon lining

The shell is real leather in a natural brown tone. The full nylon lining does two jobs: it covers the reverse of all the stitched trim, and it lets the vest go on and off over a shirt without dragging. An unlined beaded vest is uncomfortable to wear directly over a t-shirt, which is why the lining is standard here rather than an upgrade.

Seams are stitched with heavy thread and the panels around the trim are reinforced, since stitched decoration puts load on the hide at every anchor point.

Fit and styling

The fit is regular and straight through the body rather than closely shaped, which suits a western vest and leaves room for a shirt underneath. Take your normal size for wearing over a shirt or tee. If you want it close over a vest top only, size down.

It is usually worn over a plain shirt with jeans and boots. Keeping the rest of the outfit simple lets the trim read properly; patterned shirts fight it. For plain leather vests without decoration, browse our Women Leather Vests, and for jackets in the same natural tones see our Women Leather Jackets.

Made to order sizing

Each vest is cut, trimmed and lined after you order, in the size you choose. Standard sizes are XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL, plus Custom. Bead and bone work adds production time over a plain vest. For Custom, send chest, waist and back length after checkout and we build to those measurements. Free worldwide shipping and secure checkout are included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the leather real?

Yes. The shell is real leather. The lining is nylon.

Is the bone real bone?

The trim uses natural bone pieces, which is why tone and length vary slightly between them. Message us before ordering if you need the exact bead specification.

Is the trim glued or stitched?

Stitched into the leather and covered on the reverse by the lining. Glued trim would not last.

Why is it lined?

The nylon lining covers the back of the stitched trim so nothing rubs against you, and it makes the vest easy to put on over a shirt.

What size should I order?

Your normal size to wear over a shirt or tee. Size down for a close fit over a vest top. Custom sizing is available.

How long does it take to make?

Longer than a plain vest because of the bead and bone work. Free shipping is included and tracking is emailed on dispatch.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the leather with a dry cloth and keep the beadwork dry. Never soak, machine wash or dry clean it.
