Vintage Westen für Herren:
ein zeitloser Klassiker

Once essential for every well-dressed gentleman, vintage men's waistcoats are now celebrating a fashionable comeback. Whether as part of a three-piece suit in the golden 1920s or as a tweed highlight for a sophisticated casual look in the 1940s, the waistcoat was and remains a symbol of style and class.

The history of the men's vest
The origins of the men's waistcoat date back to the 17th century, but it achieved its iconic status in the 1920s and 1930s. At that time, gentlemen wore waistcoats made of fine fabrics such as tweed or wool, often with elegant patterns such as houndstooth or herringbone. They were not only a fashionable accessory but also practical, keeping the tie in place and providing additional pockets for watches or notebooks.

In the 1950s, the vest became more suitable for everyday wear, while in later decades it was reinterpreted as a stylistic statement by subcultures such as rockabilly and mod. Today, the vintage men's vest is an essential item for anyone who loves retro fashion.

How to style your vintage vest perfectly
Whether interpreted in a classic or modern way, men's waistcoats in vintage style offer countless combination possibilities:

• The 1920s look : Combine a tweed waistcoat with suit trousers, a white shirt, and a tie or bow tie. Complete the look with elegant leather shoes and a flat cap.
• Casual chic : Wear your vest over a Henley shirt and combine it with jeans and Chelsea boots for a casual yet stylish look.
• Rockabilly style : For an authentic rockabilly outfit, a simple black or checked vest goes perfectly with rolled-up trousers and suspenders.
