Dial in the fit. We professionally widen motorcycle vests by adding reinforced side expansion panels so you get more room without losing style or function.

What We Do

• Add side panels to increase chest and waist room while maintaining the vest’s original look
• Reinforce seams & lining for long-term durability on and off the bike
• Finish work cleanly with binding that matches the original edge where possible

Options

• Panel styles: solid leather inserts (most common), adjustable side-lace gussets, or stretch/accordion panels (when compatible)
• Color/material: Black leather in stock; we can color-match or work with customer-supplied leather or textile when approved by our techs
• Hardware: black or nickel grommets for side lacing (if selected)

Typical Expansion

• +1" to +6" total at the chest/waist is common; larger increases are evaluated case-by-case

How It Works

1. Bring or ship your vest clean and dry.
2. Fit consult: we measure you (or review your measurements) and confirm expansion amount, panel style, and finish details.
3. Build: we open the side seams, install the new panels, rebuild the liner, and reinforce stress points.
4. Pickup or ship back after final QC and fitting.

What We Need From You

• Your chest measurement over a light layer and over your riding layer (if different)
• How much extra room you want, or simply request a target fit (snug / relaxed)
• If mailing in, include a note with contact info and any deadlines

Turnaround & Pricing

• Turnaround: typically 3–10 business days depending on workload and complexity
• Pricing: based on inches added, materials, and panel style. Request a quote before we begin.

Compatibility & Notes

• Works with most leather vests; many textiles are also possible after inspection
• Patches near the side seams may need to be moved (additional charge if required)
• Customer-supplied materials must be ride-worthy; we may decline items that won’t hold up

Care

• Wipe with a damp cloth; condition leather periodically
• Check laces or panel stitching occasionally for proper tension

Custom work is built to your specs and is generally final sale. Natural variations in leather and hand-finished details are normal.
