Fabric and Quality
The Bordeaux Super 120s Waistcoat is made from Super 120 wool sourced from Lanificio di Pray, a respected Italian mill known for fine worsted cloth. Super 120s wool is defined by its exceptionally fine yarn count, resulting in a smooth, lightweight hand and a fluid drape that holds its shape throughout the day. The material offers natural breathability and temperature regulation, making it a considered choice for extended wear at formal or business occasions.
Design and Fit
The rich bordeaux tone brings depth and character to classic tailoring, offering a refined alternative to traditional navy or charcoal. Cut in a tailored fit, the waistcoat follows the body cleanly without restriction, and layers seamlessly beneath a matching jacket as part of a three-piece suit. Equally, the silhouette stands on its own for smart casual settings - paired with a dress shirt or a fine roll-neck.
Styling
For formal occasions, layer the bordeaux waistcoat over a crisp dress shirt as part of a three-piece suit - the colour works especially well for weddings and evening events where a subtle point of difference is welcome. For business or smart casual wear, wear it with dark trousers and an open-collar shirt. Combined with a roll-neck and a textured blazer, it offers a considered approach to refined everyday layering.
