The Libertine Waistcoat


Ah, the waistcoat! Essential packing for that country house party weekend. Warm enough to wear at breakfast. Robust enough for a day’s sport on the estate. Dashing enough to wear when holding forth in front of the ladies by a roaring log fire. Both styles are available in olive greennavy blue or black. Libertine or Duellist, which are you?

Made in Navy Blue, Black or Olive Green Corduroy, and lined in Black Silk Taffeta.
