Our Alcott Waistcoat from Walker and Hawkes captures a classic British style whilst maintaining its functionality as a country waistcoat. Teflon-coated so you can worry less about your stylish outfit getting ruined by dirt and stains.
Expertly crafted in the U.K, the tweed is twill woven. Twill is a type of textile weave with the yarns packed very closely together, making it thick and tightly woven – resulting in a durable fabric which can withstand wear and tear. This type of weaving can be made in a multi-tone pattern, which has diagonal parallel ribs. The tweed is spun yarn, making it softer and less prone to snagging.
The tweed is treated with a Teflon fabric protector. This works like a protective barrier around each fiber of the fabric to help fend off water, dirt and stains – all while not affecting the fabric’s weight, look, feel, color, or breathability.
Made from top quality Derby Tweed, with strong stitching, to make for a durable waistcoat.
