Black Leather Biker Vest for Men – Red Stitching, Quilted Panels

This is a sleeveless black leather biker vest with wide notched lapels, an asymmetrical front zip and snap-fastened shoulder epaulettes. The leather has a dark, burnished finish with lighter, cloudy patches across the chest and back. Double rows of dark red stitching run along every seam.

The Red Stitching

The stitching is a deep wine red, and it is the only colour on the vest apart from the black leather and the dark metal hardware. It outlines the lapels, the back yoke and the armholes. It also forms the diamond quilting on the shoulders and hem and the horizontal rows down the sides. The zip pull on the chest pocket is the same red, so the colour repeats across the front.

A Vest, Not a Jacket: What Changes

• There are no sleeves, so it works as a layer over a tee, a long-sleeve shirt or a hoodie.
• The armholes are cut close to the shoulder, which leaves the arms free.
• All of the detail sits on the body: the lapels, the zip, the pockets and the quilting.
• The vest has no cuffs and no sleeve zips, so there are fewer parts to match to your size.

Questions Before You Order

• Is it black or something darker? Black, with a burnished finish that shows lighter and darker patches. The stitching is dark red.
• Will it look exactly like the photos? Not exactly. The cloudy shading and the creasing vary from vest to vest.
• What can I wear under it? The photos show it worn over bare skin, which is the closest cut. A tee, a shirt or a thin knit also fits underneath. For a thick hoodie, check the size chart first.
• How warm is it? It is a sleeveless leather layer, so it covers the chest and back but leaves the arms bare. It works as an added layer, not as a coat.
• How many pockets are there? Three zip pockets: one diagonal pocket on the chest and one vertical pocket on each side at the waist.
• How does it close? An asymmetrical zip runs from the neck to the hem. The lapels and the collar also have snaps.

Care

• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and blot spills straight away.
• Lambskin is delicate, so avoid rough surfaces and heavy bags or backpack straps that rub on the leather.
• Let it dry naturally, away from heat and direct sunlight.
• Condition lightly once or twice a year, after testing a hidden spot first.
• Conditioner can darken uneven or burnished areas, so use a little and don’t scrub.
• Close the zips when storing so the metal doesn’t mark the leather.
• Store it on a wide, padded hanger.
• For a deep clean, use a professional leather cleaner.
