Red for Feast Days, Lifted with White
This red clergy vest with white trim pairs a strong liturgical red with crisp white detail. The white piping and buttons tie the vest to the white of your clergy collar, so the red looks festive rather than heavy. Choose it for the Sundays when red paraments are on the altar.
Red in the Church Year
Many congregations turn to red at Pentecost, at ordination and confirmation services, and when they remember the apostles and martyrs. The color points to the Spirit’s fire and to costly faithfulness. Some traditions also connect red with particular offices, so follow your own church’s dress custom.

Fabric
This red vest is made of tropical suiting, an airy cloth that keeps you comfortable in a crowded festival service. It is wrinkle resistant, so the white trim lines stay straight and sharp.

Red Clergy Vest with White Trim FAQs
Which services suit a red vest with white trim?
Any service where red is the color of the day, for example Pentecost Sunday, an ordination or a confirmation. The white edging also makes it festive enough for church anniversaries.
Can I wear the red vest under a suit jacket?
Yes. It is cut like a waistcoat and ends at the waist, so it fits under a jacket. Most clergy, though, wear it on its own over a clergy shirt.
What color shirt goes with a red and white clergy vest?
White sleeves keep the outfit bright and match the edging, as pictured. Black sleeves make the red look deeper and more formal.
Is there a plain red version without trim?
Yes. Our red clergy vest has red buttons and no contrast edging. This one adds white piping and white buttons for a more decorative look.
How much is the red vest with white trim?
It costs $89.99 in XS through 3XL and $99.99 in 4XL through 6XL. The chest chart on the page shows which letter size to order.
