40" Fitted Fit Nehru-Style Gilet in Blue Doeskin

A Tailored Cut waistcoat in an unusual blue in a sumptuously soft pure merino wool flannel in size 40". 

The waistcoat has a Nehru Collar, Blue Corozo Buttons and a Viscose Lining in Sand, as shown in the photographs.

The Fabric

This is a fabric that really grabs you when you see and handle it.

The term ‘Doeskin’ originated from the similar appearance and feel of the fabric to the skin of a female deer. Along with the practical purpose for allowing rain to run off the surface in the direction of the nap, the light is captured on the face finish and bounces off the surface to create a lustrous sheen.

A warmer weight textile, this fabric has a magnificent handle and a wonderful colouring.  Made from 100% Merino tightly milled wool which we also offer in a delicious gold.

Cut & Usage

A  wonderfully warm and smart alternative to a jacket for autumn winter with a neat cut and ample pocket space.

This tailored fit waistcoat has five button-fronts and side vents for ease when moving and sitting. Fully lined, it has 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.

The Maker

This outer has been woven carefully in Yorkshire by the wonderful AW Hainsworth who have been busy weaving cloth since 1783. Best known (perhaps) for clothing royalty and dressing the military for full-dress ceremonial occasions, their cloth has embellished and enriched the furnishings of palaces across the world for centuries.
