Our ‘Silk‘ backed waist coat is the same cut as its full moleskin backed brother except it has silk backing with a buckle adjuster. This allows it to have a slightly more fitted line as the waist can be drawn in a little. Not all of the backings are 100% silk, but this is a term used for silk and satin feel fabrics.
The silk backed waist coats are the same price as the full moleskin, however some of the speciality silks like the ‘olive hunt’ shown incur a £10 premium.
They have 2 front fob pockets and one inside pocket, a choice of shank buttons and linings and backings. The lining and the backing must be in the same fabric, so the pattern can be seen. Available in all 7 moleskin colours and in sizes from 34” to 58” chest.
We recommend you take our Try before you buy service, for a £5 fee. This is an invaluable opportunity to check the sizing and the style before you confirm an order, there is no substitute for trying on and seeing the quality, it takes a lot of the worry out of ordering on line.
We welcome your phone call or email should you have any questions.
