The High Noon leather vest is where rugged frontier spirit meets modern quality manufacturing.

This is not just another leather vest—it’s a piece built for those who value both heritage and function. The High Noon is cut from full-grain, semi- cowhide, a material known for its durability and ability to develop a rich patina over time. At 1.5 mm thick, the leather strikes a perfect balance: sturdy enough to withstand daily wear, yet supple enough to move with you. The design draws from classic Western workwear, with yokes front and back, French seams for strength, and reinforced patch pockets that echo the utilitarian roots of the American frontier. It’s a vest that doesn’t just look the part—it’s built to last, whether you’re on a motorcycle, at work, or simply navigating the urban landscape.

A vest designed for those who do, not just those who show.

The High Noon is cut close to the body, a nod to traditional Western tailoring where fit was as much about function as it was about form. This isn’t a loose, oversized layer—it’s a vest that hugs the torso, designed to be worn over a shirt or under a jacket without bulk. The five-button closure, featuring Master Supply Co.’s signature donut-style zinc buttons, adds a touch of vintage charm while ensuring a secure fit. Inside, a sage-green cotton twill lining provides breathability and comfort, while two internal pockets—one open, one zippered—offer practical storage for essentials. The attention to detail extends to the construction: French seams on the sides and back not only reinforce the vest but also give it a clean, finished look. This is a piece that respects the past while being firmly rooted in the present.

Crafted with intention, built for the long haul.

The leather, sourced from full-grain cowhide, is semi-erial that’s both durable and environmentally conscious. Over time, the leather will soften and darken, developing a unique patina that tells the story of its wearer. The vest’s Western-inspired yokes and reinforced pockets aren’t just decorative; they’re functional elements that hark back to the workwear of ranchers and riders. Whether you’re layering it over a flannel for a casual look or wearing it under a jacket for added warmth, the High Noon is a versatile piece that adapts to your lifestyle. And with its slightly snug fit, it’s designed to be a second skin—one that only gets better with age.

This waistcoat is made from full-grain semi-.5 mm thick. It’s durable and develops a rich patina over time, softening slightly with wear while maintaining its structure.

How should I choose the right size?

The fit is closer than standard jackets. If you typically wear a medium jacket, consider sizing up. Refer to the size guide for precise measurements, especially chest and waist.

No, the sage-green cotton twill lining is stitched in place and not removable. Spot clean gently if needed, and avoid machine washing.

What are the yokes on the front and back for?
