Men's Cuts

We offer our Men's waistcoats in two cuts, the Classic Fit and the Tailored Fit.

The Classic Cut is shown in Sand below, and the Tailored Cut in Yellow.

The two cuts both have five button-fronts and side vents for ease when moving and sitting. Fully lined, they have generous inside facings to avoid unsightly lining slippage.

At the chest a welted outbreast pocket sits at a gentle angle to the armhole. Two generously deep pockets sit squarely at the hip. Inside our waistcoats, an inbreast pocket rests on the right-hand side and a credit card sized pocket at elbow height on the left. 

Classic Cut Waistcoat

The Classic Cut is a comfortable, slightly boxy cut that tapers out very slightly from the chest. It is accommodating, particularly for those of sturdier build or more ample girth and is well-suited to wearing over a thicker jumper (your chosen size allowing).

For those whose girths have exceeded their chests in circumference, the Classic Cut is ideal.

If you think the Classic needs adapting for you, please advise us on ordering the circumference you would like at the waist (see charts), and we will adapt your cut accordingly.

Tailored Cut Waistcoat

The Tailored Cut is a more contoured cut that tapers in very slightly from the chest. It is particularly well-suited to those of narrower build and those that like a closer fit.
