Every First MFG vest and jacket starts with one question: how will this feel at 60 mph, two hours into a ride? Since 1987 we have built gear for riders, not runways. These are the design details that come from that.
Cut for the riding position
Riding gear has to fit when you are seated, arms forward on the bars. Our signature Lowside vest is cut three inches shorter than a traditional vest so it won't balloon in the wind, and tailored a half-size tighter so it stays put on the bike.
Concealed carry pockets
Many of our vests and jackets have concealed carry pockets, with tapered holsters on selected jackets, placed where you can reach them from the saddle. Browse every style in our concealed carry motorcycle vests collection.
Premium leather that rides
Our vests and jackets are built from riding-grade cowhide, including hand-selected full-grain naked leather that breaks in with you. See how we grade every hide in FMCo Leathers Explained, or shop all men's leather motorcycle vests and women's leather motorcycle vests.
Built for real weather
Riding seasons are unpredictable. Jackets like the Vendetta pair lightweight leather with an action back for mobility, vents that breathe, and a removable hood and thermal liner for cold mornings. Find your match in men's leather motorcycle jackets and women's leather motorcycle jackets.
A fit for every rider
Most styles run well beyond standard sizes, and if you are between sizes, big and tall, or simply want it exact, choose made to measure and we will build it to your measurements. Want to design your own? Start in the Custom Builder.
Backed for life
