Selecting the Finest Materials
Every piece of horsehide used at BECK is handpicked for its premium quality.

The Tanning Process: Blending Tradition and Technology
Once selected, the horsehide undergoes a rigorous tanning process that blends traditional techniques with modern technology. Tanning serves multiple crucial purposes: it preserves the leather, enhances its strength and flexibility, and imbues it with the supple feel that motorcycle enthusiasts appreciate.
Our tannery partners meticulously tan each hide using time-honored methods, treating the skins with natural or synthetic tanning agents. This process spans several weeks to ensure the leather achieves the desired qualities of durability and comfort.
Crafting Timeless Quality
The outcome? Horsehide that not only meets but surpasses the expectations of riders worldwide. Each BECK garment crafted from these skins embodies the spirit of craftsmanship and durability. Our jackets, vests, and accessories not only withstand the challenges of the road but also age gracefully, developing a unique patina that reflects the adventures they've shared with their wearer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a leather motorcycle jacket worth the investment?
A quality leather motorcycle jacket provides unmatched abrasion resistance in a crash, decades of use with proper care, and wind protection on the road. American-made leather from brands like Beck and Cockpit USA uses full-grain hides that mass-produced jackets can't match.
How do I choose the right leather motorcycle jacket?
Look for full-grain or top-grain leather (never bonded), CE-rated armor at shoulders and elbows, and a fit that allows movement without bunching. Quality leather stretches and molds to your body over time — buy for a slightly snug fit.
How do I care for a leather motorcycle jacket?
Wipe down after every ride with a damp cloth, apply leather conditioner every 2-3 months, and store on a wide hanger away from sunlight. Never machine wash. Quality leather develops a unique patina over years of riding.
What leather motorcycle gloves pair best with a leather jacket?
Match the quality of your jacket with equivalent quality gloves — it's the most exposed part of your body in a crash after your head. Legendary USA's American-made leather motorcycle gloves in full-grain leather complement premium domestic jackets and provide matching protection quality.
