Black waistcoat

Fine Italian black wool in sizes IT38, IT44 and IT46.

In size IT40 its an Italian blend.

Made in Italy, by the Lardini family, who run a huge tailoring business in a village near Ancona in Les Marche. They manufacture for the biggies like Burberry, Gucci and Celine. And occasionally for Margaret Howell, and now after a lot of coaxing; me at Press.

This Italian-made, double breasted waistcoat elevates any look effortlessly. It enhances the abdomen and elongates the leg because of the cinched in adjustable strap on the small of the back.

A versatile game changer that effortlessly flatters whether undone or buttoned for a polished look. The Waistcoat is back, as seen on the Runway at Saint Laurent.
