Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right tweed waistcoat for my style?

Think about your lifestyle—if you prefer a classic, heritage look, opt for herringbone or hopsack weaves in traditional shades. For a modern approach, experiment with bold colors and contemporary fits. We offer two styles of waistcoats, one with revere and one without revere. A waistcoat with a revere is most appropriate to wear for formal occasions like black-tie events, weddings, or upscale business gatherings where a refined and classic look is desired, as the revere adds a sophisticated touch to the traditional waistcoat style. 

Is tweed only for formal occasions?

Not at all! While tweed waistcoats add elegance to formal attire, they can also be worn casually with jeans, a lightweight knit, or even over a t-shirt for an effortless, rugged look.

How do I care for my tweed waistcoat?

Tweed is naturally resilient but benefits from occasional brushing to remove dust and lint. Store it on a wooden hanger, avoid excessive washing, and opt for professional dry cleaning when necessary.

Can I request a custom fit or bespoke details?

Yes! We offer made-to-measure services, allowing you to personalise the cut, lining, and finish to create a truly one-of-a-kind waistcoat.
