Loose Fit Nehru Style Gilet in Merino Wool Flannel

A Classic Cut waistcoat in a vibrant orange pure merino wool melton by AW Hainsworth. An eye-catching orange in a sumptuously soft pure merino wool flannel. A warmer weight textile, this fabric has a magnificent handle and a bright rich colouring. 

This outer is available to order in sizes 36" to 54", with any of our collar types.

Cut & Usage

A superb alternative to a jacket with a neat cut and ample pocket space. Smart enough to go out in, and warm enough keep you cosy even the draughtiest of places.

This Classic Cut waistcoat has a relaxed fit. It has five buttons down the front 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. 

Customising your Waistcoat

Our Merino Melton waistcoats are lined in ticking as standard. Alternatively, we would suggest an eye-catching Gold Viscose or a Navy silk. You are free to choose from our full range of linings which you can see in the Linings pop up box above.

A viscose lining will add £10 to the listed price, a silk lining will add £30.

We use a Brown Corozo button for this outer, as shown in the pictures, but you are welcome to choose an alternative.

Custom sizing, button and lining choices should be sent to us by email at the time of placing your order.

Should any additional charges arise from size and length alterations we will advise you of these and wait for your agreement before commencing your order.

Photographs

The Maker

This cloth has been in Yorkshire by the wonderful AW Hainsworth who have been busy weaving cloth since 1783.
