Product Spotlight: No. 87 Women's Leather Biker Vest
Share
Generic descriptions often label vests merely as "sleeveless zip-ups." However, a close examination of the No. 87 reveals it is a masterfully crafted, sleeveless iteration of the iconic asymmetrical "Double Rider" (Perfecto) jacket. We have expanded the description below to accurately reflect its distinct hardware, belted waist, and asymmetrical design.
While a classic denim Trucker Jacket provides excellent full-arm coverage and a boxy, casual aesthetic for everyday wear, it sometimes lacks the edgy, dimensional layering capability that modern styling demands. For those looking to inject a potent dose of rock-and-roll attitude into their wardrobe, Original 80’s introduces the No. 87 Biker Vest—a garment that breaks free from traditional heavy utility wear to offer a lightweight, high-fashion layering masterpiece specifically tailored for women.
Authentic "Double Rider" Design Details
The No. 87 Biker Vest is not just a simple cutoff; it is a meticulously engineered sleeveless "Double Rider" jacket loaded with authentic, heritage-driven hardware.
-
Asymmetrical Front Zipper: The vest is defined by its iconic diagonal front zipper. When zipped halfway, it creates the classic wide, notched lapels secured by silver metallic snaps, delivering an unmistakable rebellious silhouette.
-
Integrated Belted Hem: Staying true to vintage 1950s motorcycle aesthetics, the hem features a built-in, adjustable leather belt complete with a heavy-duty metallic buckle, allowing you to cinch the waist for a sharper, more tailored fit.
-
Utilitarian Hardware & Pockets: The front profile boasts rugged silver YKK zippers on the slanted handwarmer pockets and chest pocket. It also features a traditional snap-flap coin pocket at the lower waist and classic snap-down epaulets on the shoulders, adding structural definition to your upper body.
Premium New Zealand Lambskin
Unlike the stiff, unforgiving cowhide historically used for protective riding cuts, the No. 87 is constructed from ultra-premium LAMB (NEW ZEALAND) leather. This choice of material completely transforms the garment. The lambskin offers a butter-soft, luxurious texture with a beautiful, natural sheen that requires zero break-in time. Inside, a smooth, high-density SATIN lining ensures the vest glides effortlessly over tees, knits, or delicate dresses without catching or causing friction.

How to Style the Women's Biker Vest
The sleeveless nature of the No. 87 Biker Vest makes it an absolute powerhouse for transitional weather and creative layering. If you usually rely on a Trucker Jacket, swapping it for this leather vest will instantly elevate your styling game:
-
The Classic Tee & Denim: You can never go wrong with the basics. Layer the black leather vest over a crisp, fitted white T-shirt. Pair it with vintage-washed, straight-leg denim and Dr. Martens or canvas sneakers. The structured shoulders and belted waist of the vest will instantly contour your shape, turning a simple outfit into a 3D, edgy statement.
-
Hard-Meets-Soft Clash: To add a touch of rebellion to a feminine look, wear the No. 87 over a flowing floral maxi dress or a sleek silk slip dress. The harsh, industrial lines of the silver hardware and black leather create a stunning visual contrast against soft, romantic fabrics. Finish the look with ankle boots or strappy sandals for the perfect date-night ensemble.
-
Urban Streetwear Layering: As the weather cools down, use the vest as an outer shell over a thick, oversized hoodie. Pull the hood out over the leather lapels to create dynamic depth around the neckline. Pair with baggy cargo pants or sleek leggings and chunky sneakers for an effortlessly cool, urban streetwear vibe.
