- Keep the tape straight and do not curve it around the body.
Neck Circumference

Desired Sleeve Length
- Stand straight with your arm relaxed in a natural posture.

Chest Circumference
- Stand up straight with your arms relaxed at your sides.
- Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, typically right under your armpits.

Description
The waistcoat, the essential third piece of a gentleman’s ensemble, is elevated when commissioned in exceptional cloth. Our interpretation is rendered in a fine Super 160s’ worsted wool from the historic Vitale Barberis Canonico mill—a fabric prized for its luminous quality and impeccably smooth hand.
The Foundation of a Mens Wool Dress Vest
This garment is an exercise in versatility. It is designed to complete a formal suit, to be worn over a crisp shirt and fine dress pants, or to lend a touch of tailored structure to a more casual pairing. The construction is meticulous, featuring hand-carved horn buttons and a silk back with a traditional adjuster for a precise fit.
A Personal Commission
The creation of your waistcoat is a collaborative process. The design can be rendered in its classic, lapel-less form, or commissioned with the addition of a collar and lapels for a more formal, vintage-inspired expression. Each detail is an opportunity for personal expression.
The Bespoke Promise: Your Fitting Canvas
A garment designed to sit with such precision against the torso demands an unimpeachable fit. Your commission therefore begins with a preliminary fitting waistcoat—a toile—crafted to your initial specifications. This critical step allows for the meticulous refinement of the waistcoat’s balance and line, ensuring the final piece is achieved with absolute precision. The fitting canvas is, of course, yours to retain.

Blazer Fit Guide
Blazer Fit Guide
The fit of your custom blazer defines its look and comfort. Your test garment will reflect the room and structure you choose here. Use this guide to select the fit that best matches your body type and style preference.


Slim Fit
Modern and tapered for a close-to-the-body silhouette.
Best for: A lean build and those who prefer a sharp, modern look that closely follows the body’s lines.


Standard Fit
A timeless, comfortable fit with moderate room for movement.
Best for: An average build or for a classic, all-purpose business style. This is our most popular, versatile choice.


Relaxed Fit
Our most generous fit, with extra room throughout the chest and waist for maximum comfort.
Best for: Those who prioritize comfort over a tapered look, or for body types that require more room in the midsection.


Athletic Fit
Specifically designed for a V-shaped torso.
Best for: Broader shoulders and a larger chest, combined with a distinctly narrower waist. This cut prevents the jacket from being too tight in the shoulders or too loose at the waist.
