Leather Plus Size Motorcycle Vest

Whether you love to ride or simply love the look, a leather plus size motorcycle vest is a timeless piece of clothing that only gets better with age.

Trendy T-shirts look great under a vest.

Leather motorcycle vests are made to fit your curves and show off your figure while adding a layer of protection when you ride. However, today’s women do not limit themselves to wearing their motorcycle vests only while on a bike.

With stylish designs and fashionable trims, these luscious leather vests look great paired with your favorite straight leg jeans for a fun afternoon or a sexy pair of leather hot pants for a night of clubbing. If you are really daring, wear your leather vest as part of a dominatrix outfit that includes a garter belt, fish net stockings and stiletto heels for a night of naughty fun.

Most leather motorcycle vests are crafted from fine hides that are tanned and dyed leaving them soft and supple. The finishing processes bring out the leather’s natural grain, which is part of its innate beauty. Generally the leather used for motorcycle vests is cowhide, buffalo hide or deerskin.

Except for dying the leather, naked leather is in its natural state making it the most supple and soft leather on the market. It is also one of the most popular for motorcycle gear since it wears better over time then other types of leather. Naked leather, also known as full grain leather, develops a beautiful patina as it ages.

Top grain or corrected grain leather has any imperfections and scars removed by sanding. To achieve a uniform look, the leather is sprayed.

Split leather is made from the inner side of the hide. It is turned into suede by a process of brushing and buffing it until the surface has a fuzzy feel. Although it is a more fragile leather than other types, it is used in many styles of motorcycle vests.

The term leather weight actually refers to the leather’s thickness. Leather is measured either as a weight in ounces or as a thickness in millimeters. In general, approximately 1/64th of an inch of thickness corresponds to each ounce.
