BESTSELLER Grey, double-breasted Prince of Wales wool waistcoat in blue check

The double-breasted waistcoat is a thing for characterful men. It belongs to a fashion classic, but is almost unheard of today. The Prince of Wales model has shawl lapels that emphasise the original character of the entire outfit.

Prince of Wales double-breasted checked waistcoat:

• Prince of Wales model

• Huddersfield Fine Worsteds fabric

• Breast pocket

• Back made of base fabric

• Mother-of-pearl buttons

• Blue overcheck

• The waistcoat can be paired with a grey Prince of Wales suit to create a three-piece suit.

The waistcoat is made from 100% Prince of Wales checked wool. We buy the fabric from a renowned supplier to Savile Row tailors – we're talking about Huddersfield Fine Worsteds. We decided on a bemberg cupro lining. This is a viscose material that is characterised by its air permeability and durability. The buttons are made of mother-of-pearl. They are the perfect complement to the overall look.

The grey Prince of Wales check with blue overcheck is the perfect complement to a suit or a coordinated set. The checked waistcoat pairs perfectly with a plain white dress shirt. You can also combine our waistcoat and a blue dress shirt. You can also add character to a men's suit. It will work perfectly as part of a grey or navy blue formal suit. 

The checked waistcoat can also be worn with a checked dress shirt. Here, however, it is important that the check on the dress shirt is of a similar size to the check on the waistcoat. The stripes on the dress shirt, on the other hand, should preferably be very large – for contrast. You can also match the waistcoat with trousers in grey, brown, navy blue or denim. So many possibilities.

When choosing a waistcoat, first of all consider your jacket size. If the ideal jacket for you is in size 48, choose a jacket in the same size. The measurements given in the table are for the garment, not the body. At Zack Roman we also have a special waistcoat size for taller gentlemen.
