This 1960s leather biker vest captures the rebellious spirit of the open road and biker culture. Crafted from durable black leather, this vest has been well-loved and extensively worn, showcasing a rich patina and signs of a storied history. It features a striking embroidered Harley-Davidson eagle patch on the back, paired with a curated collection of vintage pins from the 1970s and 1980s, each telling its own tale of biker camaraderie and individuality.
The front of the vest is adorned with two standout patches: an ATA Life Member badge and an ABATE of Indiana patch, emphasizing its connection to motorcycling freedom and community. Functional details include two front pockets and unique leather lace closures with decorative silver-toned hardware, which add to its rugged aesthetic. The interior is lined with a patterned brown fabric, a subtle contrast to its tough exterior.
