A tan leather vest is the lighter, more relaxed side of brown: perfect for western looks, summer evenings and casual weekends. This collection brings together our tan and light brown leather vests for men and women, in smooth leather and suede. Every tan leather vest ships free across the USA and worldwide on orders over $150. Shop below, or see all of our real leather vests.
Tan suede feels soft and western; smooth tan leather looks cleaner and is easier to wipe down. Pair tan with white, cream, blue denim and olive. For riding, choose a heavier smooth leather; for festivals and summer, suede or a lighter leather.
Tan works best in spring and summer over light shirts and tees, and in fall with flannel and darker denim.
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.
Most of these vests are smooth leather: wipe them with a soft, slightly damp cloth, condition them once or twice a year and hang them on a wide hanger. Suede styles need a suede brush rather than conditioner. Whatever the leather, let a wet vest dry naturally away from heat.

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.
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.
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.
