Overview: A Genuine H-D Originals Layer for Every Ride

Cold-weather layering doesn’t have to mean bulk. The Union Canvas best vest takes the rugged, mechanic-inspired silhouette Harley-Davidson’s Originals line is known for and strips it down to the essentials: heavyweight canvas built to take a beating, a plush lining that actually keeps the wind out, and a fit loose enough to wear over a flannel or hoodie without feeling stiff. It’s built for riders who want a piece they can wear on the bike, at the shop, or grabbing coffee afterward, no costume-y branding, just a quietly tough garment with the leather Originals hit as the only real logo moment.

Flick Leathers carries this Harley Davidson Originals Union Vest as genuine H-D Motor Clothes: same construction, same part number, same materials as what you’d find at any Harley-Davidson dealership. For many riders, the Harley Davidson Originals Union Vest becomes an everyday favourite.

• Neckline: Collarless V-neck, cut for easy layering over a shirt or under a jacket
• Pockets: Multiple spacious pockets for keys, phone, and wallet
• Hardware: Durable herringbone hang loop and a leather Originals brand patch
• Packaging: Ships in a premium reusable garment bag
• Part Number: 96036-26CM

Fit & Design Details

This best vest is cut with a classic, slightly relaxed fit rather than a slim or tailored one, meant to layer over a shirt, flannel, or thermal without pulling at the shoulders. The collarless V-neck keeps the front open and low enough that it won’t bunch under a riding jacket, and the two-way zipper means you’re not fighting the front hem when you’re seated on the bike. The Harley Davidson Originals Union Vest sits at the hip, so it works equally well tucked in for a cleaner look or left loose for everyday wear.

• Riders who want a warm mid-layer under a leather or textile riding jacket
• Anyone who wants the Harley-Davidson Originals look without a full leather vest
• Cold-weather commuters and garage/shop wear
• Layering over flannel, henleys, or hoodies in fall and winter

Sizing

Sizing follows the standard H-D Originals fit. Because the Originals Union Vest is meant to layer, riders who plan to wear it over a hoodie or thermal often size up.

Care Instructions

Cotton canvas holds up best with minimal washing. Spot clean where possible, and when a full wash is needed, use cold water and a gentle cycle, then air dry to protect the Sherpa lining and shell finish. Avoid high heat, which can flatten the Sherpa pile over time.
