Men’s Perforated Leather Biker Vest SWAT Style Motorcycle Tactical Vest Red line

The Blacktop Gear SWAT Style Perforated Leather Biker Vest is a men's tactical motorcycle vest in 1.1-1.2mm naked cowhide, with a perforated red leather panel for airflow and a red paisley lining. Full-length zip front and dual concealed carry pockets. Handmade to order in sizes S to 6XL at $149, with free delivery within the USA.

Design & Build

The perforated red leather panel is the point of this vest. Solid leather traps heat, which is why a lot of riders leave the vest at home from June to September. Perforating the panel lets air move through the front while the rest of the vest keeps its structure and abrasion resistance, so it stays wearable through summer instead of sitting in the wardrobe.

Inside, a red paisley lining picks up the same red as the panel. Paisley is the traditional biker lining pattern, and here it is doing double duty: it finishes the inside properly and it means the vest looks deliberate when it is open rather than showing a plain black interior.

A full-length YKK zip closes the front, which holds shut at speed better than snaps and keeps the tactical silhouette clean. Adjustable side straps set the fit, and dual inner concealed carry pockets sit on both left and right for ambidextrous access.

Specifications

Who buys this vest

• Warm-climate riders, Texas, Arizona, Florida, and anyone riding through a real summer
• Concealed carry permit holders, dual pockets mean it works whichever side you draw from
• Riders who want the tactical look, zip front and clean lines rather than the traditional club silhouette

How riders wear it

Over a plain black or grey tee with dark denim and boots. The red panel and lining are the accent, so keep the rest neutral. Because the perforation moves air, this is the vest that stays on at a summer rally instead of coming off at the first stop.

Frequently asked questions

Does perforated leather actually keep you cooler?
Yes. The perforations let air pass through the panel instead of trapping it against your body, which is the difference between a vest you can wear in August and one you cannot. The rest of the vest stays solid leather, so you keep the structure and abrasion resistance.

Is the whole vest perforated?
No. The perforation is on the red leather panel. The remaining panels are solid 1.1-1.2mm naked cowhide.

How does it close?
Full-length YKK zip down the front.

Does it have concealed carry pockets?
Yes, dual inner pockets, one on each side, so it works for left or right-hand draw.

What is the lining?
Red paisley, the traditional biker lining pattern, matched to the red perforated panel.

Can I add club patches to the back?
Yes. The back panel is patch-ready.

What sizes does it come in?
S through 6XL as standard, or built to your own measurements at no design charge.

How long does a made-to-order vest take?
2 to 3 weeks from order confirmation.
