Men's SWAT Style Bike Black Vest Perforated Red Panel & Paisley Lining Waistcoat

The Blacktop Gear SWAT-Style Perforated Vest is a men's motorcycle vest in black naked cowhide with a red perforated panel across the front, a red paisley lining and a roll-up SWAT collar. It runs a zip front behind hidden snaps, a back-shoulder air vent and two inside concealed-carry pockets. Handmade to order in sizes XS to 6XL from $125, with free delivery within the USA.

Design & Build

The red perforated panel is the signature. It is set into the centre front against the black naked-cowhide body, so the vest carries a flash of red and a tactical, vented look without covering the whole thing in colour. Behind it, a red paisley lining picks up the same red and shows at the neck and front.

The collar is a roll-up SWAT style that you can wear up for a higher, tactical line or folded down. The front closes with a centre zip hidden behind a snap placket, so the fastening stays clean. A zippered vent runs across the back shoulders for airflow in warm weather.

Inside sit two deep concealed-carry pockets with snap straps, one each side, plus an inside slip pocket and an inside zip pocket. The shell is genuine naked cowhide, 1.1–1.2mm, with YKK zips throughout.

Specifications

Who buys this vest

• Riders who carry. Two deep snap-strap inside pockets hold a carry piece flat, with a zip pocket alongside for valuables.
• Warm-weather riders. The perforated front panel and zippered back vent both move air, so it runs cooler than a plain vest.
• Riders who want the tactical look. The roll-up SWAT collar, red perforated panel and hidden-snap zip give a harder, tactical line.

How riders wear it

Keep the base plain — a black tee lets the red panel and paisley do the work. Roll the collar up for the tactical look or fold it down for a lower line. It sits over a single layer as shown; size up if you will wear it over a hoodie.

Size Chart — Men's Vests

Measure your chest at the fullest part over your usual riding layer, then pick the row your measurement falls into.

Chest (garment) is the finished vest measurement — it sits above your body chest to allow for layering. For centimetres and the full measuring guide see our Size Guide. If you fall between sizes we build to your own measurements at no design charge.

Frequently asked questions

What is the perforated panel for?
It is a red perforated leather panel set into the front — part looks, part airflow. The holes let air through, so with the back vent the vest runs cooler than a solid one.

How does the collar work?
It is a roll-up SWAT collar — wear it up for a higher tactical line or folded down for a lower one.

How many concealed-carry pockets are there?
Two deep inside pockets with snap straps, one each side, plus an inside slip pocket and an inside zip pocket.

How does it close?
A centre YKK zip behind a hidden snap placket, so the front reads clean.

Is the leather real?
Yes, genuine naked cowhide at 1.1–1.2mm — soft in the hand but thick enough for the road.

What colour is the lining?
A sublimated red paisley that matches the red panel and shows at the neck and front.

Which size should I order?
Measure your chest at the fullest part and match the chart. Between sizes, or over a hoodie, size up — or send measurements and we build to them at no charge.

Do you make sizes above 6XL?
Yes. XS to 6XL are the standard run; 7XL, 8XL and 9XL are made to order to the same pattern.

How long does it take?
Made to order in about 2–3 weeks, then shipped free within the USA.

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.

Make it your own

Every part of this vest can be built to your spec — a different panel or lining colour, added pockets, or your patches sewn on before it ships. Standard sizing carries no design charge, and we build to your own measurements if you fall between sizes. Start your build on our custom leather gear page.
