Welford | Suede Waistcoat Five Button

Soft nap. Buttons close. Out.

The five-button front closes clean through the chest, so the waistcoat holds its line rather than gaping as you move. It layers over a shirt without adding bulk, which is why it reads tidy from the first coffee to the last round of the evening. The V neck sits low enough to leave a collar and tie on show, or an open button or two if the night is informal. Cut easy across the back, so the arms stay free on a long drive.

Classic Fit With Room To Layer Close enough through the body to read sharp, but generous across the shoulder blades, so a dress shirt sits flat underneath without pulling at the armhole.

A V Neck That Frames The Collar The opening drops to show shirt and tie properly, which keeps the whole look deliberate rather than closed-in.

Two Front Pockets, Basted Shut The pockets arrive stitched closed to hold their shape in transit; snip the thread once and they stay open for good.

Suede-Touch Cloth With A Quiet Nap The face has a fine brushed nap and very little stretch, so the panels stay flat and the front edge keeps its line through a long day. Seams are stitched close and the hem is finished square, with buttons set through a reinforced placket.

Wear it over a white poplin shirt with dark denim and boots, or under a tweed jacket for dinner.
