Why First MFG?

First MFG Co. has been making motorcycle leather gear since 1987, and it's built a loyal following among riders who care about fit, durability, and being able to customize their gear rather than settling for whatever's on the rack. The brand backs its leather goods with a lifetime warranty, offers a 30-day return window on non-custom items, and has racked up thousands of customer reviews across its vest and jacket lineup.

Whether you're after a classic club-style cut, a perforated vest for hot-weather rides, or a full leather jacket for the highway, here are seven First MFG pieces worth putting on your shortlist.

1. Lowside Men's Motorcycle Leather Vest

The Lowside is one of First MFG's most popular vests, and with over 270 customer reviews, it's earned that spot. It comes in classic black and cognac colorways, giving it a clean, versatile look that works whether you're running solo or riding with a club. It's currently listed at a steep discount off its regular price, making it a solid entry point if you're building out your gear for the first time.

2. Sharp Shooter Men's Motorcycle Leather Vest

If you want more color options to match your bike or your club colors, the Sharp Shooter is worth a look — it's available in black, cognac, brown beige, brown, and black olive, with over 250 reviews backing it up. It's priced in the same accessible range as the Lowside, making it an easy vest to grab in more than one color.

3. Upside Men's Club Style Leather Vest

For riders who want that traditional club-cut silhouette, the Upside delivers — and it comes in an unusually wide range of colors, including black, blue, red, white, orange, and green. With over 250 reviews, it's a proven option for anyone wanting a vest with a bit more personality than an all-black design.

4. The Cut Men's Motorcycle Leather Vest

The Cut leans into color variety even further, offered in green, red, orange, gold, blue, and white. It's a good pick if you want your vest to double as a statement piece rather than just protective gear, and nearly 200 reviews suggest it holds up well to regular wear.

5. Raider Men's Motorcycle Leather Jacket

Moving into full jackets, the Raider is one of First MFG's best-reviewed pieces, with close to 300 customer reviews. Available in black and copper, it's built as an everyday riding jacket rather than a fashion-first piece — the kind of jacket you can wear on a daily commute as easily as a weekend ride.

6. Vendetta Men's Motorcycle Leather Jacket

The Vendetta brings a black-and-olive colorway that stands out from the usual all-black jacket lineup, and it's backed by nearly 200 reviews. It sits in the same pricing tier as the Raider, so it's worth comparing the two side by side if you're deciding between a more classic look and something with a bit more edge.

7. Cinder Men's Cafe Style Leather Jacket

For riders drawn to the café racer aesthetic rather than a traditional biker cut, the Cinder is First MFG's standout option. It's offered in red, grey, and black, with over 100 reviews, and its slimmer, retro-inspired silhouette makes it a good fit for anyone riding a café racer or standard-style bike rather than a cruiser.

Don't Want to Choose? Build Your Own

If none of the ready-made options hit exactly what you're picturing, First MFG also offers a Custom Builder tool that lets you design your own vest or jacket from scratch — choosing your leather type (full-grain cowhide, buffalo, canvas, mesh, denim, or twill), stitch color, quilting pattern, contrast accents, and interior lining. It's a solid option if you want a piece that's genuinely one-of-a-kind rather than something anyone else on the road might be wearing.

All of these picks share the same foundation: genuine leather construction, a lifetime warranty, and a large enough customer review base to back up the quality claims. Whether you're outfitting yourself for the first time or replacing worn-out gear, starting with one of these seven pieces is a safe bet before exploring the rest of First MFG's catalogue.
