As the year suggests, the waistcoat has its historical origins in the 19th century. At that time, waistcoats were worn to protect shirts from dirt and damage. As a result, waistcoats were often cut more closely to avoid catching on edges or similar objects.
The fabric used for the “Dundee grey” edition is a coarse herringbone tweed from Pike Brothers.
