Biker vest or dress vest?

A biker vest is cut a little longer, closes with a zip or snaps and has room for patches. A dress vest, or waistcoat, is shorter and buttons up, so it works over a shirt with jeans or chinos. Not sure? Start with plain black. It goes with everything.

How to wear one

Over a plain tee is the classic. When it's cooler, a vest over a hoodie or a flannel shirt keeps your core warm and your arms free, which is why riders love them. Here's why a leather vest still makes sense in winter, plus our take on dressing up with vests and blazers. Want sleeves after all? Try our motorcycle jackets.

FAQs

How should a men's leather vest fit?
Close but not tight. You should be able to close it over a tee or a light shirt without it pulling across the chest, and the hem should reach your belt. Check your chest size on our size chart.
Can you wear a leather vest over a hoodie?
Yes, as long as the vest has a little room. It's a popular cool weather look. Only size up if you'll wear it over thick layers most of the time.
Are leather vests warm?
They keep your chest and back warm and block wind, but your arms stay out. That makes them great for spring and fall, or as an extra layer under a coat in winter.
