The Augusta Jacket
The spirit of Augusta & Adeline is what fuels everything we do, and is what we hope to inspire in our community -- tough, wild, and independent women and women identifying -- on and off the bike. And let’s be honest, there’s not a lot of selection out there for women’s motorcycle jackets. You no longer have to choose between fashion and function with The Augusta Jacket. You’ll feel protected while on your bike and badass wearing it after a ride.
We have packed every little thing you need into this riding jacket including:
- Best-in-class 1mm thick full-grain leather sourced from the USA.
- Our very own women’s specific articulated fit made to move comfortably in all riding positions.
- A longer length in the back for extra coverage in even the most aggressive riding positions.
- 2 hidden zippered gussets for extension in the hips when you need it.
- 2 inside storage & 2 hand pockets because women need pockets, who knew?
- 6 zippered vents for air flow - because it turns out, women are hot!
- Sleeves that actually allow for arm movement–– in other words they’re engineered to move like your body does.
- An Asymmetric zip front with vintage-style collar fits nicely worn up for warmth and down for style or to stay cool.
- Hidden magnets hold down the lapel corners so they don’t flop when you ride.
- 2-way zippers at sleeve opening to access your layers & gloves and doubles as a vent.
- Layer the Augusta Jacket over an Armored Shirt to add impact protection (we like the Knox Action MKI Shirt)
Made in the USA by Vanson Leathers, The Augusta Jacket is backed by Vanson's 1 year warranty.
Our goal in creating this jacket is to help minimize the chances of injury in a motorcycle accident. Because all accidents are different, we cannot guarantee the level at which you will be protected.

Size Chart
The Augusta Jacket
Our jackets are made to fit over layers - Our fit model pictured above is wearing a size small jacket, she is 5'8" and a muscular 140lbs, with a small bust. She can fit a base layer and compressible puffy jacket or a t-shirt and padded liner shirt uner her jacket comfortably without feeling restricted.
Chest
Measure the widest part of your chest with your daily bra and your body relaxed. Make sure to keep the measuring tape horizontal.
Waist
Measure around the smallest part of your waist. Not sure where that is? Stand with your legs shoulder width apart and bend to the side (like you're singing the “I'm a little teapot” song) Put your finger at the point on your side that bends - if you bend to the right side, this should be your right side. Take the measurement snug - not too tight, and not loose.
Hip
Measure the fullest part of your hips with your legs about 6” apart. This is often also the fullest part of your booty as well - but make sure to keep the measuring tape horizontal and take the largest measurement.

Featuring our Women’s specific articulated fit made to move comfortably in all riding positions. A longer fit in the back for extra coverage in even the most aggressive riding positions.
Our jackets have sleeves that actually allow for arm movement–– the Women’s specific articulated fit means our jacket fits comfortably with all riding positions.

Fit
Made to move with you
We pride ourselves on having the best fit around. Starting with a female-specific articulated fit means our jacket and chaps fit comfortably in all riding positions. Our fit is engineered from scratch by one of the most technical pattern makers in the apparel industry and every stage of patterning and sampling is made for movement.
Say goodbye to straight-armed jackets and pants because our bodies are three-dimensional and so should be our clothing. Our fit is made to move with your body so you don't feel any restriction when moving in and out of riding position.
Materials
That wear in, instead of wear out
Quality fabric forms the basis for all of our design work. We start with best-in-class 1mm thick full-grain leather sourced from a leading motorcycle leather tannery.
We combine this high quality leather with Moto Dyneema for the ultimate protection in a motorcycle kit!
A note on Dyneema®: Known as the world’s strongest fiber™, Dyneema® offers maximum strength and durability combined with minimum weight. We use this special denim-dyneema blend to create a smooth, streamlined look that will last for years and years to come.
