All Red, from Collar to Hem
This red clergy vest is red throughout: the body, the collar and roughly ten buttons, which are covered in the same red cloth. With no contrast piping, the color reads as one strong block. Our photos match it with black sleeves and black trousers, which makes the red even brighter.
Days for Red
Churches dress in red for Pentecost and Palm Sunday, for ordination and confirmation services, and when martyrs are remembered. A red vest lets a pastor or bishop carry that color without a full set of vestments. In some traditions red also signals a particular office, so follow your church’s custom.

Fabric
Tropical suiting gives the vest a crisp, even red. The weave is light enough for a packed Pentecost service, and it resists wrinkles, so the vest keeps a smooth front after hours of wear.

$89.99 from XS to 3XL; the three largest sizes are $99.99. A Small in the size chart fits a 40-inch chest and a 5XL fits 61 inches.
For a longer cut, see the long red clergy vest. Red with contrast details comes in two versions, with white trim or black trim. Add a red tippet to complete the look.
Red Clergy Vest FAQs
Which days call for a red clergy vest?
A red clergy vest suits Pentecost, Palm Sunday, ordinations, confirmations and feasts of martyrs, which are the occasions when many churches use red vestments and paraments.
What shirt looks best under a red clergy vest?
Pictured here with black sleeves and a white tab, it has maximum contrast. A white clergy shirt makes the outfit lighter and more festive.
Does the red vest have any trim?
No. The vest is solid red, and its buttons are covered in the same red fabric. If you want contrast, see our red vests trimmed in white or in black.
Is a red vest only for bishops?
Not in most churches. Some traditions reserve certain reds for specific ranks, but many pastors and ministers wear red on red liturgical days. Check your denomination’s dress guidance.
How much does the red clergy vest cost?
It is $89.99 in sizes XS to 3XL and $99.99 in sizes 4XL to 6XL. The product page includes a size chart with chest measurements.
