Tweed Waistcoat for Men

Introducing our Durable and Eco-Friendly 100% Shetland Wool Formal Waistcoat

Crafted from the finest materials, this waistcoat offers an exceptional blend of style and functionality. Let's delve into the details:

Fabric Type: 100% Shetland Wool Care Instructions: Dry Clean Only

Durability: Tweed is woven extremely tight, making it highly durable. It can withstand over 20,000 bends without breaking, ensuring long-lasting wear.

Eco-Friendliness: Shetland Sheep grow their woolen fleece annually, making it a renewable source. Wool is also biodegradable, and the production process creates low carbon emissions, minimizing the environmental impact.

Water Resistance: This waistcoat is water-resistant, capable of absorbing up to 30% of its weight in moisture without becoming soaked. This feature helps regulate body temperature and wick away perspiration, keeping you cool during summer months.

Wrinkle and Crease Resistance: The natural elasticity of the tweed fabric ensures your garment stays crisp and wrinkle-free, requiring minimal maintenance.

Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of activities, including shooting, hiking, horse-riding, farming, fashion, outerwear, and dog walking, making it a versatile choice.

Craftsmanship: Manufactured in Britain at the renowned Abraham Moon woolen mill, one of the last remaining vertical mills. This storied brand is renowned for its consistent quality and innovative design, which we aim to uphold in our Walker and Hawkes garments.

Shetland Wool Origin: The wool used in this waistcoat is sourced from Shetland Sheep, which evolved from European sheep brought to the Shetland Islands by Vikings. These sheep are renowned for their soft, high-quality wool.

The Nehru Waistcoat Design: This style is a world-famous clothing item, named after India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. He popularized the mandarin collar and western-styled achkan in the 1940s, and although it has been modernized, it remains a timeless piece exuding undeniable class.

Our Abraham Moon Nehru Waistcoat is designed with both functionality and style in mind. Wear it as a layering piece underneath our tweed jackets to stay warm during the winter, or pair it with a shirt for formal occasions or everyday wear. The internal satin lining provides a luxurious feel befitting a Nehru Waistcoat.

To ensure the perfect fit, we recommend measuring yourself carefully and referring to our size guide to find your ideal size from Walker and Hawkes.
