Scott | Patchwork Waistcoat with a Notched Lapel and Three Pockets

A waistcoat does quiet work. It adds warmth across the chest and back where you actually feel the cold, it sharpens a plain shirt in one movement, and it does all of that without the weight of another jacket. This one puts several classic patterns side by side, so it looks like a piece with a history behind it.

Why You'll Love It

✓ Warmth Without the Bulk — A layer over the chest and back that takes the edge off a cold room, with your arms left completely free.

✓ Panels in Classic Checks — Herringbone, houndstooth and plain panels set together in warm burgundy, brown and grey tones for a look with real character.

✓ A Proper Notched Lapel — The tailored collar keeps the shape formal enough for a dinner while still sitting easily over an open-necked shirt.

✓ Three Useful Pockets — Two lower patch pockets and a chest pocket, which is exactly where reading glasses and a set of keys end up anyway.

✓ A Simple Five-Button Front — Large, easy buttons that fasten without a struggle and hold the front cleanly in place.

Wear it under a coat on the way out and keep it on indoors once you have arrived. It is the sort of thing people notice and mention, long after you have stopped thinking about it.
