Red Leather Vests for Men and Women That Stand Out
A red leather vest is for riders and dressers who want to be seen. This collection brings together our red leather vests for men and women: biker and motorcycle vests, fitted fashion vests and two-tone black and red styles, all in real leather. Every red leather vest ships free across the USA and worldwide on orders over $150. Shop below, or see all of our leather vests.
How to choose a red leather vest
Bright red makes a bold statement; deeper reds and burgundy are easier to wear every day. For riding, pick a heavier leather with secure pockets; for style, a fitted or cropped vest. Red looks best with black, white, grey and denim; keep the rest of the outfit simple so the vest stands out.
Red for men
A red leather vest for men works best over a black or white tee with dark jeans and black boots. Two-tone black and red vests are an easier first step if solid red feels too bold.
Size and fit tips
Every product page has its own men's or women's size chart. The simplest way to choose: lay a vest you like flat, measure across the chest and double it, then compare. Make sure the vest closes over the layer you'll wear underneath and, for riding, covers your belt line. If you are between sizes, choose the larger one. Use our leather vest size chart if you are unsure.
Caring for your leather vest
Smooth leather needs little care. Wipe off dust and road grime with a soft, slightly damp cloth, let it dry naturally away from heaters, and condition it once or twice a year so it stays supple. Clean carefully around patches, hang the vest on a wide hanger and never put it in a washing machine or dryer.

What makes a good leather vest
Check five things before you buy any leather vest. The leather should be named - cowhide, buffalo, lambskin or suede - not just 'genuine'. The stitching should be even and tight, with no loose threads at the armholes. Snaps, zips and buckles should feel solid and close firmly. The lining should be sewn in neatly, and the pockets should close. Every vest in this collection is real leather, and each product page lists the leather, closures and pockets.
Layering made easy
A leather vest is the easiest layer you can own: over a tee in summer, a flannel or denim shirt in spring and fall, and a hoodie or thin jacket in winter. Size it for the thickest layer you plan to wear, and keep the rest of the outfit simple - jeans and boots are always right.
Wearing it through the year
From summer evenings to cold winter mornings, a leather vest earns its place. Wear it over a tee when it's warm, add a hoodie or flannel as the temperature drops, and switch to a puffer or sherpa vest in real cold. Condition the leather twice a year and it will keep looking good season after season.
