Men’s Waistcoats
One of our signature strengths rests in our expertise regarding the perfect waistcoat. We have a strong, multi-faceted collection of styles of men’s waistcoats all draw from the major European fashion houses.
But what exactly makes the perfect men’s waistcoat, how are they to be worn, and importantly, with what accessories? what occasions lend themselves best to the wearing of a waistcoat?
The answers to these questions will largely depend on the occasion you are dressing for. Weddings, Christenings, Graduations, all the major rites-of-passages in life will call for a different style, or more specifically allow for greater choice.
‘Is it for four weddings or a funeral?’
Our wedding collections are expansive, we have a diverse and broad range of options, all matched in their quality and standard of cut. We’re quite the experts, and because of this we notice trends, how they develop and change. One thing seems to stand true however, wedding waistcoats are all about texture, patterns and most notably, colour.
Our clients tend to choose options that are bright, light and optimistic, whites, shades of ivory, or white gold.We also see increased popularity in silver, grey, burgundy with check styled textures.

Another style is the semi formal waistcoat look.
Irish graduations and weddings are littered with celebrations, something we tend to do quite well. One of the staple pieces of these events relates to suiting – often the first time some of us will wear this formal attire. It is rarely the last. Dressing for a graduation gives you a wonderful opportunity to find your own ascetic voice, your taste and look. Don’t see a waistcoat wasted, choose something personal, individualistic and importantly make it your own.For some people a three piece suit is the right look for a graduation and the waistcoat is exactly the same as the suit.For others a contrast vest is the way to go.Below is an example of this from one of our recent collections.
Option 1: Benetti Three-Piece: Hogan Petrol Blue Stripe Check
