Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Busso Mens Waistcoat is a cornerstone of the Sophisticated Collection, engineered for the professional who requires a refined appearance without compromising on daily practicality. This waistcoat provides a structured, polished silhouette that elevates standard corporate attire, making it an essential component for formal uniforms or high-end hospitality environments. Unlike many waistcoats that feature a satin rear, this model is cloth-backed, ensuring a consistent aesthetic even when worn without a jacket.
Key Features
- Five-Button Front: The traditional five-button closure provides a secure, classic fit that maintains its shape throughout a busy shift.
- Cloth Back: Constructed with the same premium fabric on the rear as the front, allowing the wearer to remove their jacket while maintaining a fully professional, uniform look.
- Two Welt Pockets: These discreet pockets offer convenient storage for small essentials like pocket watches or business cards without disrupting the clean lines of the garment.
- Machine Washable: Designed for the rigours of modern work life, this garment can be laundered easily at home, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
Design & Performance
The technical composition of the fabric is where the Busso Waistcoat truly excels. By blending polyester, wool, and LYCRA® Elastane, Brook Taverner has created a garment that balances durability with a premium hand-feel. The wool content ensures natural breathability and temperature regulation, while the polyester provides the structural integrity needed to withstand repetitive wear. The inclusion of LYCRA® allows for subtle stretch, which is vital for professionals who are constantly on the move, preventing the fabric from feeling restrictive across the chest or waist.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For a garment of this calibre, we highly recommend embroidery to achieve a professional finish. Our Telford-based team can expertly apply your corporate logo or staff names to the chest, creating a permanent and sophisticated branding solution. If your requirements involve larger, more vibrant graphics for promotional events, the high-quality fabric also accommodates precision printing. Having been established in 1976, MyWorkwear has the heritage and technical expertise to ensure your branding is executed with absolute precision.
Use Cases
This waistcoat is ideally suited for front-of-house staff in the hospitality sector, corporate office environments, and management personnel who need to distinguish themselves. Its formal design makes it a preferred choice for legal professionals, funeral directors, and high-end retail staff where a jacket may be too restrictive but a shirt alone is too casual.

We understand that your workwear is a reflection of your business standards, which is why we treat every stitch and print with the same level of professional scrutiny.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear beneath it. For a sharp, contemporary look, ensure the waistcoat sits snugly against the torso without pulling at the buttons. The cloth back makes this particularly effective for those working in warmer environments who wish to maintain a formal standard without the added weight of a blazer.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of the wool-blend fabric is essential for longevity. Because this item is machine washable, you can maintain hygiene standards easily; however, we advise following the specific temperature guidelines provided to prevent the wool fibres from matting or shrinking, which would ruin the garment's refined fit.
Avoid the use of harsh chemical bleaches, as these will break down the polyester fibres and cause the colour to fade prematurely. To preserve the shape of the cloth back and welt pockets, we recommend air drying on a suit hanger rather than tumble drying, which can cause unnecessary heat stress to the LYCRA® components.
