Design & Performance
Constructed from a technical blend of 64% Polyester, 34% Viscose, and 2% Lycra, this waistcoat is engineered for the rigours of the workplace. The polyester content provides essential durability, ensuring the garment can withstand frequent wear, while the viscose offers a soft, breathable quality that is comfortable against the body. The addition of Lycra is a deliberate choice for performance, providing a subtle stretch that allows for a full range of movement—a necessity for staff in active roles such as hospitality or retail.
The fabric choice results in a medium-weight garment that feels substantial and high-quality without being overly heavy. This balance of materials ensures that the waistcoat retains its shape and resists creasing, keeping the wearer looking professional from the start of the day until the end.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Emilio Check Waistcoat is an excellent candidate for customisation, particularly for businesses wanting to reinforce their brand identity. For a waistcoat of this calibre, we highly recommend embroidery. Our in-house team in Telford uses precision machinery to apply logos or names, resulting in a three-dimensional, high-quality finish that complements the tailored nature of the garment.
While print is also an option for bolder, larger designs, the textured nature of the navy check fabric often suits the refined look of embroidery best. Regardless of your choice, our experts—backed by nearly five decades of experience since 1976—will ensure your branding is applied with meticulous attention to detail.
Use Cases
This waistcoat is ideally suited for front-of-house hospitality staff, including hotel receptionists, restaurant managers, and waiting staff who require a smart, authoritative look. It is equally effective in corporate environments or high-end retail settings where a professional first impression is paramount. Its ability to be paired with both formal trousers and more casual chinos makes it a flexible asset for any uniform programme.

Practical Advice
As this is a tailored fit garment, we recommend reviewing our sizing guides carefully to ensure the best fit across the chest and waist. For a cohesive look, layer the Emilio over a crisp white or light blue formal shirt. If you are between sizes, the back adjuster allows for some flexibility, but choosing the larger size usually provides a more comfortable fit for active roles.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of the fabric and the precision of your custom branding requires following the recommended care guidelines. This garment is machine washable, which is essential for busy professionals who require a quick turnaround between shifts.
To preserve the life of the Lycra and Viscose fibres, avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals can break down the fabric's elasticity and cause the navy check pattern to fade prematurely. Always follow the specific temperature instructions on the internal label to prevent shrinkage and maintain the waistcoat's tailored shape.
