Our flagship riding jacket: heavyweight cowhide with reinforced shoulders, elbows, and back. CE-rated armour pockets. Built for serious miles. Crafted in Cowhide.

Specifications

  • 1.4mm Pakistani cowhide
  • Cordura reinforcement panels
  • CE Level 2 armour pockets (shoulders/elbows/back)
  • Connection zip for trousers
  • Removable thermal liner

We do not make riding gear casually. The Vagabond was developed in collaboration with two motorcycle journalists and one ex-MotoGP technician. The cowhide is 1.4mm thick — heavy enough to abrade safely, supple enough to wear. Cordura impact panels in the shoulders, elbows, and spine. Pockets sized for CE Level 2 armour (sold separately). Tested. Trusted. Cowhide because cowhide is what survives the road.

  • — Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear.
  • — Condition every 3–6 months with a neutral leather balm.
  • — Store on a wide hanger, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  • — Avoid prolonged contact with rain; blot — never rub — if wet.
  • — Professional leather cleaning only.

Complimentary worldwide shipping on every order. Express delivery within 3–5 business days, fully tracked and insured.

  • Hand-finished in Sialkot

    Edges, hardware and lining set by one artisan, by name.

  • Full-grain, traceable hides

    From two heritage tanneries we have visited for years.

  • Lifetime promise

    Repaired, reconditioned and restored — for as long as you wear it.

In Detail

The marks of the hand.

Macro detail of full-grain leather
The Hide

Full-grain, unaltered.

We work only with the top layer of the hide — the part that carries the natural grain, the small scars, the irregularities that announce a piece is real.

The Stitch

Saddle-stitched, by hand.

Two needles, one thread, drawn through every hole the artisan has pierced. It is slow, and it does not unravel — even if a stitch is cut.
