Waistcoats

A back story about our waistcoats...

A couple of years ago, I had just got back from a month away in Cyprus so i visited Kamali (our tailor) to catch up with productions. He said, “I have something to show you! I turned all of the offcuts we had which I kept from the past 10 years into stock for you.”

He can’t sit still! It was 100 waistcoats in all sorts of fabrics. Some in lovely tweeds but some in random pink striped linens from ladies dresses we had made in the past.  Luckily, we hadn’t been making too many dresses!

Each waistcoat is a one off in the size it’s in. If it’s the right fit, grab it before it’s gone.

    Kamali Waistcoat | Black Wool

    , , , ,
    A V-neck waistcoat, lined, with a button front and front pockets. This waistcoat is unique, made from offcuts of fabric from another project. This is a small, and there are no other sizes available. It is in wool, a warm, natural fibre that insulates well and resists creasing.Kamali has been our tailor for years, working out of his workshop in Bow. Every project leaves offcuts, and rather than throw them away, he kept them. Ten years' worth, as it turned out. One day he turned them all into waistcoats: about a hundred of them, in whatever fabric happened to be left over. Some good tweeds, some odd prints from old dress fabric. Each one exists once. When it's gone, that fabric is gone with it.Wool is a natural insulator, warm without being heavy, and naturally resists odour and creasing better than most fabrics. It's more delicate than cotton or linen, so it needs gentler handling.V-neck | Button fastening | Lined | Front pockets
