The Story
It takes a bold and capable design to bear our name, which is precisely what you'll find in the Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest. Inspired by the high mountain valleys of the Bison State—where cold mornings demand real warmth and the landscape rewards those tough enough to show up—the Jackson was built for men who work with their hands and live by their word. True to our brand and story, it showcases quality craftsmanship blended with a rugged vintage appeal through each and every stitch.
The open-arm two-tone Western yoke exterior pairs rich tan and brown full grain lambskin leather with a sherpa-lined interior that extends through the classic fold-over collar. Whether you're throwing it on over a worn-in flannel for a morning on the ranch, layering it under a coat for a cold-weather drive, or wearing it out with friends on a Saturday night, the Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest distinctively showcases an authentic western appeal—from the barn to the backcountry and everywhere in between.
What makes the Buffalo Jackson Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest different from other men's leather vests?
The Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest by Buffalo Jackson is crafted from 100% full grain lambskin leather with a vintage distressed finish, giving it a broken-in look from day one that only improves with wear. The two-tone Western yoke design sets it apart visually, while the full sherpa polyester lining and sherpa-lined fold-over collar provide genuine warmth—not just style. It's a vest built for real use, not costume wear.
Who is the Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest designed for?
The Jackson Vest is designed for men who appreciate Western heritage and quality leather craftsmanship. It works equally well on a ranch, at a bonfire, layered under a coat for winter errands, or worn over a flannel for a casual night out. If you want a leather vest that looks authentically rugged without trying too hard, the Jackson fits that bill.
Is the Jackson Leather Vest warm enough for cold weather?
Yes. The Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest features a full 100% polyester sherpa lining that extends through the body and up through the fold-over collar, providing real insulation against cold. It works well as a standalone layer in cool weather or as a mid-layer under a heavier coat in winter. The leather exterior also acts as a natural wind barrier.
What inspired the design of the Buffalo Jackson Jackson Vest?
The Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest draws its design from the high mountain valleys of Wyoming—the Bison State—where Western working vests have been a staple for generations. The two-tone yoke pattern reflects classic Western tailoring, while the sherpa collar and lining nod to the warmth demands of cold-morning ranch work. Buffalo Jackson built it to carry that heritage into everyday modern wear.
Can I wear the Jackson Leather Vest casually or is it only for Western style?
The Jackson Vest is versatile enough for both Western and casual everyday styling. Pair it with a flannel and jeans for a classic Western look, or throw it over a henley or crewneck sweater for a more understated, rugged-casual outfit. The vintage-finished leather and two-tone design give it enough character to stand on its own without looking like a costume piece.
Why choose a full grain lambskin leather vest over cheaper leather alternatives?
Full grain lambskin is the highest quality leather you can get—it retains the complete natural grain surface, which means it develops a rich patina over time rather than peeling or cracking like bonded or corrected-grain leather. Lambskin is also naturally softer and more supple than cowhide, so the Jackson Vest feels broken-in from day one while maintaining its structure and durability for years of hard wear.
Product Details
The Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest is crafted from 100% full grain lambskin leather with a vintage distressed finish that gives it a naturally aged, broken-in appearance from the first wear. The leather weighs 1.2 oz—light enough for all-day comfort but substantial enough to block wind and hold its shape. The two-tone Western yoke in tan and brown creates a classic silhouette rooted in Western heritage.
The front closes with a heavy-duty YKK zipper running top to bottom, backed by an optional button-down snap flap for a clean, traditional look. Twin front open pockets sit at the waist for easy hand access, and interior left and right chest pockets—one zippered, one open—keep your essentials secure without adding bulk.
Inside, the full sherpa-style polyester lining runs through the entire body and extends through the fold-over collar, delivering real warmth without the weight. Every detail is finished with antique brass hardware that complements the vintage aesthetic of the leather and adds lasting durability at every stress point.

What type of leather is the Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest made from?
The Jackson Vest is made from 100% full grain lambskin leather with a vintage distressed finish. Full grain means the leather retains its complete natural surface—no sanding or correcting—which allows it to develop a deeper patina with age. At 1.2 oz weight, the lambskin is soft and supple from day one while remaining durable enough for years of regular wear.
How do I care for and condition the Jackson Leather Vest?
For regular care, wipe the leather with a soft dry cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. Every few months (or as needed), apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the lambskin supple and prevent drying. Avoid soaking the vest or using harsh chemicals. Store it on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape. Buffalo Jackson also offers leather care products designed specifically for their products.
Is the Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest durable enough for outdoor work?
The Jackson Vest is built from full grain lambskin leather—the most durable grade of leather available—reinforced with antique brass hardware and YKK zippers at every closure point. While it's not designed as heavy-duty workwear, it handles ranch work, outdoor chores, firewood splitting, and similar rugged use without issue. The vintage distressed finish actually means scuffs and wear marks blend in and add character.
Will the leather on the Jackson Vest darken or change color over time?
Yes. Full grain lambskin leather naturally darkens with handling, body oils, and sun exposure, developing a rich patina that's unique to each vest. The vintage distressed finish on the Jackson means it already has an aged character from day one, and that character deepens over months and years of wear. This is a feature of quality leather, not a defect—the vest genuinely looks better with age.
What kind of lining does the Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest have?
The Jackson Vest features a full 100% polyester sherpa lining throughout the body and extending through the fold-over collar. This isn't a thin decorative liner—it's a thick sherpa that provides genuine insulation and warmth. The polyester material is also durable, resists pilling, and holds up well through regular wear without losing its loft.

How to Measure for the Best Fit
Chest: Measure the full circumference of your chest at the fullest point, about 1 inch below the armhole. Wrap the tape under your armpits and around your shoulder blades. For lighter layers underneath (t-shirt, dress shirt), add 2–3 inches to your chest measurement. For heavier layers (sweaters, flannels), add 3–4 inches. If you fall between sizes, size up.
Shoulders: Measure between the top of the sleeve seams. Leather vest rules differ from suit coats—it's fine if the shoulder comes down your arm a bit. If the shoulder seam sits above your natural shoulder, the vest is too small.
Length: Measure from the bottom of the collar to your waist seam. The bottom of the vest should not extend well below your belt line.
Tip: Leather will stretch slightly over time, so start with a snug (but not tight) fit. You should be able to zip it all the way up comfortably, even if you plan to wear it open.
Does the Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest run true to size?
Yes, the Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest runs true to size. Buffalo Jackson recommends measuring your chest at its fullest point and adding 2–3 inches if you'll layer over lighter shirts, or 3–4 inches for heavier layers like sweaters and flannels. If you fall between sizes, size up. The lambskin leather will stretch slightly with wear, so start snug rather than loose.
How long is the Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest?
The back length of the Jackson Vest (measured from below the collar to the hem) ranges from 24½ inches in a Small to 27 inches in a XXXL. This hits at or just above the belt line for most men, which is the ideal length for a leather vest. If the vest hangs well below your belt, you likely need a smaller size.
Will the Jackson Leather Vest stretch or break in over time?
Yes. Full grain lambskin leather naturally stretches and molds to your body over time, so Buffalo Jackson recommends starting with a snug (but not tight) fit. The vest will loosen slightly through the chest and shoulders with regular wear, conforming to your shape for a custom-feeling fit after the first few weeks of use.
Can I exchange the Jackson Leather Vest if the size doesn't fit?
Yes. Buffalo Jackson provides prepaid shipping labels on all exchange requests, so if you receive your Jackson Leather Sherpa Vest and need a different size, you can exchange it at no additional shipping cost. The company recommends checking the detailed size chart and fit advice before ordering to get the best fit on the first try.
