Does this vest run true to size?

The vest fits slim through the torso with high-cut armholes designed for layering over long sleeves. If you plan to wear it over thick knits or padded underlayers, size up one increment. Measure your chest over your thickest intended base layer and compare to the size chart.

Can I wear this in light rain?

Leather is naturally water-resistant and will shed light mist or brief drizzle. Prolonged exposure to rain can darken the surface and stiffen the hide - if the vest gets wet, blot excess moisture with a towel and air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat.

What is a medieval leather vest called historically?

A sleeveless leather garment worn over a tunic was called a jerkin in medieval and Renaissance Europe. This vest follows that silhouette - structured shoulders, stand collar, and a longline hem - adapted for modern costuming and LARP use.

How do I fasten the front closure?

The vest closes with a series of hook-and-eye pairs down the centre front. Start at the bottom and work upward, aligning each hook with its corresponding eye. The closure lies flat once fastened and won't snag on fabric layers.

The Medieval Leather Vest is a sleeveless leather jerkin with a stand collar, hook-and-eye front closure, and structured shoulder panels. The smooth-finish leather holds its shape through the body while the longline hem falls just below the hip. Cut from black leather with a matte surface that develops subtle wear marks at stress points - the collar edge, closure line, and hem fold - over repeated wear. The stand collar sits close to the neck without binding, and the armholes are cut high to layer cleanly over long-sleeved tunics or knit base layers.

Frequently Asked Questions

This vest is cut from genuine smooth-finish leather. The hide is chrome-tanned for durability and dyed black throughout - not a surface coating that can peel. The interior shows the natural suede reverse of the leather.
