Leather Vests for Women

Find adaptability and style in a women's leather vest from eBay

Leather vests have a huge number of uses when it comes to fashion. Whether you need some new motorcycle gear, are putting together a cosplay costume, or just want a cool and hard-wearing vest for casual wear, eBay's collection of leather vests can suit your various purposes in day-to-day life.

Cosplay vests

If you're a fan of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and want to cosplay as Faith, a tight black leather zip up vest makes a great choice. But it's not just Faith who had a thing for black leather; some of our favourite female superheroes and villains decked themselves out similarly. If you're looking to cosplay as Trinity from 'The Matrix, Catwoman from 'Batman Returns', Selene from 'Underworld', Uma Thurman's character in half the movies she's ever made, or Angelina Jolie in 'Mr and Mrs Smith', a black leather vest is a great start to your costume. Or you could go all out with a black leather or PVC catsuit.

Motorcycle vests

For a motorcycle vest, your main interests are probably comfort and protection. It's important to be aware that all leathers aren't created equal, and can provide varying levels of protection. PVC is often labeled as 'vegetarian leather'; while it works almost as well as leather for a variety of purposes, motorcycle gear isn't necessarily one of them. While PVC can ward off wet weather and even provides some abrasion protection, it can be intensely dangerous where heat's involved. That's why it might be better to save your women's PVC leather vest for those fashionable nights during which you won't be riding your bike.
