Vintage Waistcoat Gunclub

A bespoke waistcoat lifts your outfit and appearance to another level. Especially when you make good use of the model and fabric. These should provide a natural balance. This vintage bespoke waistcoat is a good example. The model is vintage with an asymmetric line giving it a powerful appearance. The fabric is a flannel Gunclub check from Fox Flannel. The challenge with this kind of pattern is making sure the checks are in correct alignment. Finished with blue buttons and a fabric back with a buckle. Combining a strong model with a soft appearing fabric creates a garment which catches attention by its simplicity. We call this understated confidence. Suitable for daily use but also for example as part of a 3-piece suit.

Having a bespoke waistcoat tailored

How does having a waistcoat tailor-made work?

Having a custom vest/waistcoat made is becoming increasingly popular. Especially because you can combine it well with both business and less formal clothing. Think of a waistcoat that you can combine with an existing suit or wear with trousers or jeans.

Dressed but not too formal but very personal is the recipe. In this video we show you how to have a bespoke waistcoat made and what is involved in terms of material, sizes and designing a model.

The Waistcoat

A waistcoat is a sleeveless garment that is worn with a suit jacket and/or a dress shirt

The waistcoat is the third piece to a three piece suit. It was very popular in the 1920’s. In the last years the waistcoat and the three piece suit is regaining popularity.

History

The waistcoat is one of the few articles of clothing whose origin historians can date precisely. King Charles of England, Scotland and Ireland introduced the waistcoat as a part of correct dress after the restoration of the British monarchy in 1660. It was derived from the Persian vests seen by English visitors to the court of Shah Abbas.
