Tailored Cut Waistcoat in Petrol Blue Merino Melton

Slim Fit Nehru-Style Gilet in Merino Wool Flannel 

A Tailored Cut waistcoat in a deep petrol blue pure merino melton by AW Hainsworth. This unusual and eye-catching colour is made up in a sumptuously soft pure merino wool flannel. A warmer weight textile, the fabric has a magnificent handle and a bright rich colouring. 

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

Cut & Usage

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

This fitted cut 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.

Customising your Waistcoat

Our Merino Melton waistcoats are lined in ticking as standard. Alternatively, we would suggest an eye-catching Fawn Viscose (as shown in the shots) or a sumptuous silk in Hazel. You you are free to choose from our full range of linings which you can see on the Linings page. 

A Viscose Lining will add £10 to your order. A silk lining will add £30 to your order.

We use a Blue Corozo button for this outer, as shown in the pictures. 

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.
