Men’s Red Leather Motorcycle Vest – Crocodile Embossed Biker Club Style Zip Front MC Riding Vest

The Blacktop Gear Red Crocodile Embossed Leather Vest is a men's MC club-style motorcycle vest in 1.1–1.2mm naked cowhide, with crocodile grain embossed into a red front and clean white side panels. Zip front, two inner concealed carry pockets, and expandable side zippers that let out up to 5cm per side. Handmade to order in sizes S to 6XL at $169, with free delivery within the USA.

Design & Build

Red croc against white side panels is a combination almost nobody makes, and it is the reason this vest gets noticed at a rally. The crocodile grain is embossed into full-grain cowhide rather than printed on, so it holds depth as the leather softens with wear instead of flaking off.

Underneath the styling, this is a proper club vest. The back is cut clean for a full patch set. A front zip holds shut at speed. Two inner concealed carry pockets sit on both sides. What is unusual is the side adjustment — expandable side zippers rather than laces, letting out up to 5cm on each side. Zippers reset to exactly the same position every time, which laces do not, so the fit stays consistent whether you are over a t-shirt or a hoodie.

Specifications

Who buys this vest

• Club members running red — the vest sits with the colours instead of fighting them, and the back is genuinely clean
• Riders who want presence — red croc with white panels is not something you will see twice at a rally
• Concealed carry permit holders — two inner pockets, one each side

How riders wear it

Plain black tee, dark denim, black boots. The vest already carries red, white and a texture — anything else with a pattern turns it into noise. Open the side zips to layer over a hoodie in cooler weather and zip them back for the same fit as before.

Size Chart — Men's Vests

Measure your chest at the fullest part over a t-shirt, then pick the row your measurement falls into. Shoulder is measured seam to seam; length runs from the top of the shoulder straight down.

Vest chest is the finished garment measurement — it sits above your body chest to allow for layering. If your chest and length fall into different sizes, Blacktop Gear will build the vest to your own measurements at no design charge.

Frequently asked questions

Is the crocodile pattern printed or embossed?
Embossed. The texture is pressed into the hide itself, so it holds depth rather than wearing off like a printed finish.

What are expandable side zippers?
Zips set into the side panels that open to let the vest out by up to 5cm per side. Unlike laces, a zip returns to exactly the same setting every time, so the fit stays consistent.

Does it have concealed carry pockets?
Yes — two inner pockets, one on each side, so it works for either draw hand.

Can I add club patches to the back?
Yes. The back is a clean club-style cut with nothing in the way of a full three-piece set.

Will it fit over a hoodie?
Yes. Open the side zips for up to 5cm extra per side, which covers a standard hoodie or riding layer.

What leather is it made from?
1.1–1.2mm naked cowhide, full grain — the same riding weight used across the Blacktop Gear vest range.

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.

Where is it made?
Blacktop Gear is a US brand. Every piece is designed in the USA and handmade in our own factory rather than outsourced to a third-party manufacturer — which is how we control the leather grade and the stitching on every order. Delivery within the USA is free.
