Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Black Herringbone Waistcoat is a sophisticated staple for any professional wardrobe requiring a formal touch. Crafted from 100% pure new wool, this waistcoat offers a refined aesthetic that combines traditional tailoring with the practical demands of modern workplace environments. The herringbone weave provides a subtle texture that elevates the appearance beyond standard flat fabrics, ensuring a sharp look from the start of the shift until the end.
Key Features
- Five-button front provides a secure and structured fit, ensuring the garment remains neatly in place throughout the day.
- Two lower welt pockets offer convenient storage for small essential items without disrupting the clean lines of the waistcoat.
- Satin-backed design with an adjustable strap and buckle allows the wearer to customise the fit around the waist for a professional silhouette.
- Classic fit construction provides ample room for comfortable movement, which is essential for active roles in hospitality or corporate settings.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% pure new wool, this waistcoat is designed for longevity and comfort. The natural properties of high-quality wool provide excellent temperature regulation and breathability, making it a reliable choice for long hours in a variety of indoor environments. Unlike synthetic alternatives, this fabric retains its shape exceptionally well, resisting the wrinkles and creases that can accumulate during a busy workday. The substantial feel of the wool provides a sense of quality without being overly heavy, while the herringbone pattern adds a layer of visual depth that masks minor wear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For a garment of this calibre, we highly recommend embroidery. Applying your company logo or staff name via embroidery creates a permanent, high-definition finish that complements the formal nature of the wool fabric. It provides a tactile, professional look that is ideal for front-of-house or managerial roles.
While screen printing or heat transfer is available for larger, bolder branding requirements, the textured herringbone surface of the 100% wool makes embroidery the superior choice for a durable and sophisticated result. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure the highest standards of quality control are maintained.
Use Cases
This waistcoat is perfectly suited for front-of-house hospitality staff, corporate event teams, and security personnel who require a formal uniform. It is an excellent choice for businesses looking to project an image of reliability and professionalism, particularly in customer-facing environments such as hotels, reception desks, or luxury retail settings.

Practical Advice
As this is a classic fit garment, we recommend selecting your usual chest size. When layering, ensure your formal shirt is well-pressed; the adjustable back strap can be tightened to accommodate thinner shirts or loosened for a more relaxed feel. For the most professional appearance, the bottom button of a five-button waistcoat is traditionally left unfastened to allow for better movement when seated.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of the 100% pure new wool, it is essential to follow the machine-washing instructions provided. While this garment is designed for convenience, a gentle cycle is necessary to prevent the natural fibres from felting or shrinking, which would ruin the waistcoat's shape.
Always avoid the use of harsh bleaches, as these will damage the wool fibres and lead to premature wear or discolouration. To keep the waistcoat looking its best, air-dry it on a hanger to preserve the shape and minimise the need for intensive ironing. If ironing is required, use a low heat setting to prevent scorching the wool fabric, which can cause permanent damage and an unwanted shine.
