Single-breasted or double-breasted? Five or six buttons? With or without lapels? Higher fastening or a more relaxed look? You decide!

Tweed, flannel, linen, cotton, corduroy or classic suiting fabrics? Solid colours, herringbone, checks or pinstripes? Your choice!

The Most Important Information at a Glance
❓ How much does a made-to-measure waistcoat cost?
A custom-made waistcoat typically starts at around €270–500, depending on the chosen fabric and level of customization.
The final price depends on the fabric, construction and desired details.
❓ How long does production take?
Production usually takes around 4–5 weeks.
Since every waistcoat is made individually for you, we take the time needed to ensure everything fits perfectly.
❓ Are made-to-measure waistcoats available for women as well?
Absolutely.
We create made-to-measure waistcoats for both men and women. The cut, fit and details are individually tailored to the wearer.
❓ Do I need to visit in person?
Not necessarily.
The easiest and most accurate option is, of course, to visit us in-store. There we can take measurements, show fabrics and try on different styles.
If that’s not possible, we can prepare much of the process by phone or video call. Our waistcoat configurator is also a great starting point – see the link above.
❓ Can I have a waistcoat made to match an existing jacket or pair of trousers?
Yes – in fact, very often.
Whether as an addition to an existing suit, a standalone piece with jeans or chinos, or as part of a new three-piece suit, we can tailor the waistcoat to match your personal style.
❓ Can I really customize everything?
Almost everything. 😎
From fabric and colour to cut, pockets, buttons and lining, right through to monograms and personal details – your waistcoat is made exactly the way you want it.
If you have a special idea, just ask. There’s a good chance we can make it happen.
❓ What fabrics are available?
In short: plenty.
From British tweeds and Italian flannels to linen fabrics, classic business cloths and rugged heritage qualities. Together we’ll find the fabric that suits both your style and your needs.
❓ Do I even need a waistcoat?
Our opinion: far too few men wear waistcoats.
A good waistcoat works brilliantly with jeans, chinos, flannel trousers or as part of a three-piece suit. It elevates an outfit, creates a flattering silhouette and is often the missing piece between casual and elegant.
