Classic pure wool doeskin waistcoat in forest green, yellow, poppy red, navy, maroon and fawn: 40in chest

The waistcoat is the only garment to have been created by Royal proclamation: Charles II in fact, as reported by Samuel Pepys. From that day to this, it is remarkable what a dashing waistcoat can do for a man—none more so than pure wool doeskin. In seven super colours, this smart waistcoat livens up sober tweeds and keeps a man warm while looking good. Smarter than any v-neck jumper, it looks equally good without a jacket when the weather gets warmer.

It has a six-button front, four welt pockets, satin lining and back, and waist adjuster for a perfect fit.

Colours: yellow, forest green, maroon, poppy red, navy and fawn.

RRP £90. CCUK £59 including UK mainland delivery.
