This waistcoat is made in Italy from a substantial 11 oz Japanese cotton, giving it a firm, durable hand while remaining comfortable enough for everyday layering. The fabric features a classic pinstripe pattern, adding a restrained workwear and tailoring influence without making the piece feel overly formal.
The front is finished with genuine corozo fisheye buttons, chosen for their natural texture, durability and traditional appearance. Their slightly recessed, ring-shaped design suits the vintage character of the waistcoat and provides a more considered finish than standard plastic hardware.
A welt pocket keeps the front clean, with the pocket opening integrated neatly into the body of the garment rather than sitting proud like a patch pocket. This gives the waistcoat a sharper profile while retaining everyday practicality.
At the back, an adjustable buckle strap allows the waist to be drawn in or relaxed depending on how the waistcoat is worn. It also references traditional workwear and tailored waistcoat construction, where the rear adjuster was used to fine-tune the fit over a shirt or under a jacket.
Attention continues inside the garment with a care label woven on a traditional shuttle loom in Japan, a small but distinctive detail that reflects the same emphasis on specialist Japanese manufacturing found in the main fabric.
