Buying someone a motorcycle-related gift for the holidays is tough, even if you’re a motorcyclist yourself. I should know, as I’ve been riding motorcycles my entire adult life and buying gifts for motorcycling friends and family just as long. Motorcycle parts and gear are highly personal choices, so if you’re not sure what they want, you might as well be buying them a waffle iron, because it’s probably going to get returned.
Luckily, I’ve always found one surefire exception to the norm. If you’re got a Harley-Davidson rider on your list, you’ve got a Christmas miracle on your hands, because the H-D website is quite literally a one-stop-shop for Harley enthusiasts.
Harley-Davidson has, without a doubt, the most extensive and impressive catalog of branded clothing, gear, gifts, and accessories of any manufacturer on the planet. From luggage sets to home furnishings, if you can imagine it, Harley probably makes it. Hell, as of this writing, there are over 100 pieces of jewelry alone on Harley’s online storefront.
Of course, a selection that massive doesn’t exactly narrow down your search, which is why I’ve gone through and hand-selected 15 gifts from the H-D catalog that any rider would be fired up to unwrap this holiday season.
Best Harley-Davidson Gifts for Bikers
Standard Issue Hoodie
I’m kicking this guide off with a staple absolutely anyone would love to find under the tree. Everyone loves a good hoodie, and Harley’s “Standard Issue” sweatshirt from its H-D Originals collection is one of the best I’ve ever seen. This thing is built from insanely heavyweight 510-gram French terry cotton, which is thicker and harder-wearing than Carhartt’s heaviest offering. It’s also pigment-dyed and finished with heavy-duty ribbing at the cuffs and hem, so it’ll hold its shape and color through years of hard use and regular washing.

H-D RealTree APG Twill Jacket
The working man’s motorcycle meets the working man’s camo: Harley’s new collaboration with the wizards at RealTree Camo feels like it’s been a long time coming, and lucky for you, it came in time for the holidays. The new RealTree collection features everything from hats to boots, but my personal favorite is this tough-as-nails winter work jacket. The outer is made entirely from burly cotton canvas, while the inside gets a soft quilted lining filled with synthetic insulation. I’ll also note that this one works for all ages and genders, as RealTree camo is currently enjoying a moment as a fashionable print.

H-D Chore Riding Jacket
Style is an inseparable part of the Harley-Davidson experience, but unfortunately, stylish protective gear is tough to come by. That’s why I love this H-D Chore Riding Jacket, which looks like an unassuming chore coat at first glance, but actually hides a ton of safety tech beneath the surface like low-profile shoulder armor and abrasion-resistant fabric. It’s also got motorcycle-specific features any rider will dig, including a snap-down collar that won’t flap in the wind and a soft mesh lining for added comfort and breathability.

Bar & Shield Shirt Jacket
For reasons I’ll never be entirely able to explain, V-twins and plaid flannel shirts just go together. Always have, always will. That’s why I’m digging this Bar & Shield shirt jacket, a motorcycle-friendly take on everyone’s favorite casual button-down. Heavyweight cotton twill on the outside, soft and warm sherpa lining on the inside, and plenty of rider-centric features to boot, like a snap-down collar, tuck-away drawstrings, and side seam vents.

H-D RealTree APG Backpack
My next pick accomplishes a rare holiday gifting feat by being both practical and exciting. The H-D RealTree APG backpack is practical because it features tactical-inspired organization on the outside, padded laptop storage on the inside, and meets the size requirements for an airline carry-on bag, to boot. It’s exciting because it sports the same Realtree APG pattern as the jacket above, as well as iconic Harley branding on the front, back, and even the buckles. I also appreciate that this Harley-Davidson backpack is built so tough that the manufacturer backs it with a whopping five-year warranty.

Hagerman Leather Boots
Harley’s Hagerman leather boots are the stuff of legend. Handsome, comfortable, and built to last, it’s little wonder that the Hagerman is one of H-D’s best selling boots of all time. I dig these boots because they sport durable work-boot style construction with full-grain leather uppers and Goodyear welted soles, but are lighter and more breathable than your typical Red Wing or Thorogood. They’re protective enough for the long haul, but handsome enough to wear around town, and will also set you back about $100 less than other premium moc-style boots.

Forever Harley Beanie
Speaking from experience here: Anyone who spends a lot of time with their hair in a helmet can never have enough hats. Unfortunately, buying a hat for someone else is a serious gamble, which is why I dig this Forever Harley Beanie. The branding is subtle, the color goes with just about anything, and because it’s made entirely from acrylic, it won’t give the usual “itch” you get from a wool beanie.

Open Bar & Shield Grill Tool Set
I’ve never met anyone that owns a bike and doesn’t like to grill. If you’re here, I’m gonna assume that person on your list owns a Harley, which makes this classy H-D grilling tool set an easy win. The copper-colored stainless utensils are built to last, and the same goes for their riveted wooden handles. The embroidered leather gloves look tough enough to weld in, and there’s even a bottle opener integrated into the spatula (because grilling without a cold one just feels wrong).

H-D Stealth Cornhole Boards
It’s everyone’s favorite tailgating game, Milwaukee-style. I’ve suffered through my share of flimsy, bouncy, fragile cornhole boards, and this ain’t that. H-D’s “Stealth” bag toss set is built around a sturdy aluminum frame and double-ply fiberboard faces, then sealed with a high-quality finish and adorned with the classic bar-and-shield logo. The two boards lock together with equally tough metal hardware, giving you a convenient place to stash the black and orange bags in between games.

Bar & Shield Benchtop Work Mat
I’ve lost count of the number of times I could have used a simple little mat like this in the garage. If you’ve got a Harley fan on your holiday list that likes to wrench on their own bikes, this one will be a home run. No more gas spills or oil stains on the workbench, no more misplacing all those little nuts, bolts, jets, and o-rings. This handy workshop mat is affordable, built to handle pretty much every chemical they use in the garage, and cleans up easily with a little soap and water.

Harley Holiday Sweater
Everyone needs one good, loud holiday sweater in their wardrobe. This heavyweight rib-knit sweater pairs HD’s classic bar and shield logo with a little christmas cheer, and as an added bonus, it isn’t red and green, doesn’t have any beaded embroidery, and features absolutely, positively zero tinsel. In other words, it’s a Christmas sweater they’ll actually want to wear, and speaking as someone who’s taken their fair share of sweaters to Goodwill shortly after the holidays, that’s a rare thing indeed.

1955 Tank Medallion Ornament
Whoever you’re buying this little Christmas hawg for doesn’t have to be a devout HD historian to appreciate it, but serious aficionados will find it extra special. That’s because this little piggy sports the “Big V” tank logo from what I’ve always considered to be among the coolest of the classic Harleys, the mid-50’s FL Panheads. Whether you’ve got a full-blown Harley tree for holidays or this is your first of many H-D ornaments to come, it’s probably my favorite I’ve seen to date.

Biker Santa Ornament
If you’re digging the idea of a Harley-Davidson Christmas ornament but prefer your decorations a little more holiday-centric, this Biker Santa ornament is the move. Dirty jeans, sleeveless vest, and a late-model Harley-Davidson Servi-Car as his sled of choice: This Santa is no saint, but I’m sure he’s delivering the good stuff. I also appreciate that this ornament includes a “Special Delivery 2025” inscription to mark the occasion.
$44 at Harley-Davidson
2025 Biker Santa Snowglobe
If you don’t want to limit your H-D decorations to the Christmas tree, this Biker Santa snow globe takes the show on the road and puts the man himself into his natural habitat, surrounded by the white stuff anytime you give it a shake. I like that in addition to the dated inscription, H-D doubles down on the tongue-in-cheek by adding a “Happy Harley Days” message to the snow globe’s resin base.
$39 at Harley-Davidson
Holiday Plaid Stocking
Last but certainly not least, another essential holiday decoration done Harley-style. This Holiday Plaid stocking stays true to form with its festive print, but adds a little attitude to the mix with a black faux-fur trim and the classic Bar & Shield logo. Sure, you’ll probably end up filling it with coal every year, but at least it’ll look good hanging above the fireplace.

Why You Should Trust Me
I’ve been riding, crashing, and wrenching on motorcycles (Harleys included) for the better part of 20 years now. My friends and family are all keenly aware of that fact, which means I become a valuable resource this time of year when motorcycle-related gift advice for uncles, in-laws, friends, or coworkers is in high-demand.
