A waistcoat earns its keep when it changes an outfit without you having to think about it: over a crisp shirt for the office, over a jumper when you want some definition at the waist. This one is cut with a neat V-neck and four buttons, with a buckle strap at the back so it doesn't sit loose.
- Tailored V-neck front. Single-breasted with four buttons down the front.
- Besom pockets. Two at the hip, neat enough not to bulk out the silhouette.
- Adjustable back strap. A buckle at the back lets you take it in for a closer fit.
- Eight colours, six sizes. 100% polyester, S to 3XL.

Fabric and care

Worth knowing
It's designed as a layering piece rather than something to wear in place of a coat: the buckle strap at the back is there to adjust the fit, not to add warmth.

All measurements in centimetres, taken on the garment; chest is all round. Allow 1 to 3 cm either way. The UK column is our estimate: it picks the size that leaves 16 cm of room over a typical UK bust.
How to measure
A Chest: straight across, armpit to armpit. Double it for the all-round figure.
B Shoulder: seam to seam across the back.
C Length: top of the shoulder down to the hem.
D Sleeve: shoulder seam to the cuff.

Questions
Will it fit over a shirt or blouse?
Yes. It's cut as a layering piece, roomy enough for a shirt or blouse underneath, with a buckle strap at the back to take in the fit.
How do I pick my size?
Check the bust measurement in the centimetre table above against a fitted top you already own, rather than going by your usual UK size alone.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, two besom pockets at the hip, neat enough not to add bulk to the silhouette.
Will it look like the photos?
The colour, fabric and cut you see are what we send. If it turns up damaged or not as described, email us a photo within 30 days and we will replace it or refund you, including postage.
When will it arrive?
Usually 10 to 17 days from order, tracked all the way; your estimated arrival date is shown above. Order several pieces and they can come in separate parcels, each with its own tracking.
What if it doesn't fit, or I change my mind?
You have 30 days from delivery. Send it back unworn, with the tags on and in its original packaging; socks must still be sealed. You pay the return postage, with no returns fee on top.
Will I pay anything on delivery?
No. Prices include UK VAT and there are no customs or import charges to pay.
Why are there no reviews yet?
We are new this winter and we will not invent reviews. Instead, every page gives you the measurements in centimetres and the full fabric composition.
