Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Greenville Ladies Waistcoat is a sophisticated addition to any professional wardrobe, blending classic heritage styling with modern textile technology.

Key Features
- Notch Lapel: The classic notch lapel adds a formal, blazer-inspired touch to the waistcoat, ensuring it looks equally impressive with or without a jacket.

- Two Welt Pockets: These discreetly integrated pockets offer practical storage for small essentials without disrupting the sleek lines of the tailoring.
- Lining Back with Vent Detail: The rear of the garment features a smooth lining and a vent, providing enhanced mobility and breathability during active use.
- Integrated Back Adjuster: The buckle adjuster allows the wearer to customise the cinch of the waist, ensuring a perfect fit for various body shapes.
Design & Performance
Construction is at the heart of this garment's longevity. The fabric is a sophisticated blend of 40% wool and 40% polyester, supplemented with 20% mixed fibres. This combination offers the breathability and premium feel of wool with the crease resistance and hard-wearing nature of synthetic fibres. It is a substantial, mid-weight garment that feels sturdy enough for daily wear while remaining comfortable in temperature-controlled environments.
Performance is further enhanced by a specialized Teflon finish. This invisible coating provides an essential barrier against spills and stains, ensuring that liquid beads off the surface rather than soaking into the fibres. This is particularly beneficial for those working in fast-paced environments where maintaining a pristine appearance is paramount.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To truly represent your brand, the Greenville Ladies Waistcoat is ideally suited for customisation. We find that embroidery is the preferred choice for this specific item; a finely stitched logo or staff name on the chest provides a superior finish that complements the wool-blend texture and the formal nature of the waistcoat.
While embroidery offers a traditional look, our Telford-based team can also apply high-quality print for more complex or larger brand designs. Having handled professional customisation since 1976, we ensure that every logo is applied with precision, maintaining the professional integrity of the Brook Taverner tailoring.
Use Cases
This waistcoat is designed for environments where first impressions are critical. It is an excellent choice for hospitality management, hotel reception teams, and corporate events staff. Its durability also makes it a sensible option for high-end retail environments where employees need to look sharp while remaining mobile.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear underneath. If you plan to wear this over a medium-weight shirt, the back adjuster will allow you to fine-tune the fit. If you prefer a more relaxed feel through the torso, you may wish to size up slightly and use the adjuster to create the desired silhouette.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the structured profile and technical finish of this waistcoat is essential for its longevity. This garment is strictly dry clean only. The internal structures and the wool-blend fabric are not designed for the agitation and heat of a domestic washing machine, which could lead to shrinking or warping of the lapels.
Professional cleaning ensures the Teflon finish remains effective and the wool fibres do not lose their natural lustre. We also recommend hanging the waistcoat on a shaped hanger between uses to allow the fabric to drape naturally and shed any minor creases from the day's wear.
