waistcoat

Hi All, I have read numerous guides and forum posts. The consensus is that the vest should cover the waistband completely, but I'm not clear on how much longer the vest should go past the waistband. I've heard the advice of going past the waistband by an inch or so, but I'm uncertain whether...

Greetings All, I'm looking for some advice on whether or not to have a cinch made on a custom three-piece suit. There is some opinion in this AAAC thread "Suit Vest", but not much. Although I'm not firm, I'm leaning towards having one made with a cinch, as it seems good to have the flexibility...

Hi guys! I've been trying to find this black vest/waistcoat/whatever. I keep seeing them named different things. I have a couple of older ones, but they seem so hard to find these days! I've bought men's ones before, and they're fine, but I'd like a slimmer fit; less boxy. I'll attach two...

Hi all, long time lingerer here :) I have a black tie event coming up soon, and really want to ditch the cummerbund; (I've never really liked them). However after some extensive searching, there seems to be little in the way of low V-cut black waistcoats around - all those which turn up are a...

Next week, if all goes to plan, I will be purchasing a new one-button SB PL dinner jacket in 38L from Ede and Ravenscroft, since my current one has the disadvantages of having a notch lapel and being several sizes too big for me. I am contemplating buying a waistcoat as well and am not quite...

Hi, this is my first post. I'm getting my first dinner jacket done, and needless to say, I've got some questions about the whole thing. I'm hoping that some of you more sartorially inclined folks might answer them.. There will be quite a number of questions, so even if a few are answered by...

First off, please forgive me for starting a new thread if this has already discussed been discussed elsewhere. I searched and couldn't find this topic. I am getting married this year and am in the process of choosing formal wear for my future husband (he has left this up to me and...

I'm starting this thread as an ongoing way to alert one another to ebay items that we might turn up but not be interested in personally. There are a couple of such threads on Style Forum, but many of the things I come across would appeal more to folks here than there. One ground rule: This is...
