How does the vest fit - does it run large or small?

The vest is cut with a regular fit and a straight hem at the hip. The back cinch belt adjusts about two inches in either direction, so you can accommodate a shirt or thermal underneath. Measure your chest at the fullest point and compare to the size guide. The leather will give slightly with wear but won't stretch a full size.

Can I wear this vest in light rain?

The waxed finish offers some water resistance for brief exposure, but prolonged rain will soak through. If the vest gets wet, blot excess water with a towel and let it air-dry away from direct heat. The wax can be refreshed by buffing with a soft cloth once dry.

Are the pockets deep enough for a phone or wallet?

The four flap pockets are approximately 5 inches deep - enough for a phone, wallet, or passport. The two horizontal zip pockets are shallower (about 3 inches) and work best for cards or keys. The two bellows pockets at the hem expand to hold bulkier items like gloves or a small notebook.

Does the vest have any lining?

No. The interior is unlined, showing the flesh side of the cowhide with clean-finished seams. This keeps the vest lightweight and allows it to breathe, but you'll want to wear it over a shirt or tee rather than directly on skin.

Will the brown color fade or change over time?

The washed finish is designed to age visibly. High-contact areas - pocket edges, the back belt, armholes - will darken and develop a sheen from natural oils. The wax topcoat will wear down in these spots first, revealing the grain underneath. This patina is part of the ownership story and won't look like damage.

The mens leather vest is a sleeveless utility silhouette cut from smooth-finish genuine leather with a deep V-neckline and six front cargo pockets. The leather carries a subtle grain that catches light unevenly - matte in some angles, low-sheen in others - and the hand feels supple without being thin. Twin horizontal zip pockets at mid-torso and four flap-closure compartments above them create a layered, functional front. Antique brass hardware and tonal top-stitching keep the finish understated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. This vest is cut from genuine cowhide with a washed and waxed finish. The leather is tumbled to raise the natural grain, then hand-rubbed with a wax topcoat. You'll see variation in grain texture across the panels - that's the hide's natural character, not a defect.
