One of our earlier designs first introduced in our 2003 Catalog. A classic "Motorcycle Style" vest with standout details, heavyweight leather and our dual CCW pockets. This version was a variation of our V-Rider but with the snap-back collar design.

Designed in conjunction with experienced riders; tested over several months and hundreds of miles of riding. We used a black pebbled cowhide or a stout American Bison leather, both in black and a heavier (3.5-4oz.) weight. The hides are water-resistant with a protected finish to handle the elements better. Other features include wider cut shoulders to minimize the wind effects, a heavy-duty #10 brass Ykk zipper under a leather flap with snap closures, four front pockets, our signature CCW pockets and a full-panel (one-piece) back. An exceptional vest for riding or just exploring.

30-Years Of Vest Making

In the Summer of 1989 we designed and build our first leather (CCW) concealed-carry wear vest. It was classic black motorcycle vest that was common in the 80’s built with internal CCW pockets, something not so easy to find back then.
Today, we still design & build a complete collection of men’s leather vests from premium leathers, quality brass YKK zippers and custom sourced snaps, all with internal CCW pocketsWe design all of our vests & jackets in our California Leather Shop and built them in our own custom leather shop in Mexico, where generations of leather crafting knowledge has been passed down. Our craftsmen here work only on outerwear and nothing else. Each vest cut by hand from the finest quality hides from around the world. We hand-set snap holes, skive edges & pride ourselves on designing functional and timeless vest designs.click here to read more about the NEW Pioneer Vest Collection

20+ years of motorcycling with tens of thousands of miles

"I really can't remember the date but I do know my daughter who is now 25 was a baby when I received my bison leather vest. I couldn't wait to get it to my seamstress to sew on my veterans MC patch along with others and then take off on the road. As a concealed carry person I'd love the fact that it held every single one of my guns even a full size 357 although it was heavy, bulky and did print and why I started carrying the mid-size Glock 45 ACP which it completely hides. The right side always holds two extra magazines flashlight and of course I made my own money clip / credit card clip for both sides. This vest has had other MC patches on it through the years and now I have laid all of that down and only ride for the Son and now with the CMA. This vest was with me through outlaw years, been on me while crossing Canada, all over the United States, even with me through my beach years and has held up unbelievably well. This vest has only one, no two downfalls... Extremely hot for Texas weather and heavy even when not armed... But it has done its job better than any other piece of clothing that I've ever wore in the 35 plus years of motorcycling. I had this fast on when a car creamed me in the side, had this vest on when I slid down a ditch, had this vest on when I used to be an idiot and get in the middle of scraps, again this vest taking the abuse and still looking good. I remember a guy grabbed me one night from behind and tried to yank the vest off and I have watched many times best ripped apart when someone does that and all that happened was me and the vest ended up on the ground but you know what he didn't get the vest off, the vest didn't tear and well that's another story. Now I wear this vest proudly as a changed person but able to show the scars and old patch sew holes as a road map of my life. I remember how I didn't want to pay the price that I paid for this 20 years ago but I'm so glad I did because it's almost like calling it an investment and if I broke it down to what I paid over 20 plus years of wearing it it was pretty inexpensive. I decided to get on the website today because I'm wanting to get another vest, and maby get this one updated... Wish I could upload pictures. Just understand these are high quality and the bison vest is going to be extremely heavy so be pre-warned and even the cowhide is going to be heavier than most any vest you've seen in a box store because of the quality of the leather, stitching and liner materials. These are vest that will last you a lifetime even through abuse, but always come back and take care of your vest by allowing it to be dried and cleaned properly."

These vests really cut the

"These vests really cut the wind when out for a ride at this time of the year as temps drop into the 60's. I have four of your vests and they are all fine. Wish I had found you earlier. Thanks Rus Harvey."

not as good as expected.

"not as good as expected. The leather is a little bit hard."

— Yu W. (3/5)

Old vs new

"I have a older Buffalo rider jacket that I purchased years ago that has a lot of miles on it. I purchased the new one due to the collar. My older one still looks great so it hard to decide which one to wear. Both are a high standard of craftsmanship & quality."

— Jeff W. (5/5)

Durable and great looks!

"I have several Coronado vests, all just terrific. Unique designs and incredible quality always gets the 'where did you get that vest' question."

— Michael S. (5/5)

Still A Good Riding Vest

"This vest is made very well. The materials and craftsmanship is top notch, as is everything I have from Coronado. The leather seems lighter weight on this issue than it was on the same vest bought several years ago. The liner in this one is a light grey. I prefer the dark liners that used to be in this vest because they do not show dirt, sweat and oil that you get when you ride a lot. The material in the hand warmer pockets was heavier in the earlier version as well. Even with these observations, this is still a better made, better leather, vest than you can find anywhere else. This vest is still worth the investment. The lighter weight will be appreciated by people in warmer climates."
