Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Mercury Mens Waistcoat is a sophisticated addition to any professional wardrobe, designed to provide a polished silhouette without sacrificing the practicalities of daily wear. Crafted by one of the industry's leading names in formal wear, this waistcoat bridges the gap between classic tailoring and modern durability. It offers a structured, professional appearance that remains consistent throughout a long shift, ensuring you look as sharp at the end of the day as you did at the beginning.
Key Features
- Five-Button Front: The traditional five-button layout provides a secure and classic closure, maintaining a tidy appearance even when moving frequently.
- Two Welt Pockets: These discreet pockets offer a touch of traditional styling while providing convenient storage for small essential items.
- Lining-Backed with Adjuster: The rear of the waistcoat features a smooth lining and a dedicated adjuster, allowing the wearer to achieve a precise, tailored fit that accommodates different body shapes.
- Sustainable Fabric Composition: Utilising superfine polyester with 43% recycled content, this garment supports environmental initiatives without compromising on the quality of the finish.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the Mercury waistcoat. The use of superfine polyester ensures a lightweight and comfortable feel, which is essential for staff who are on their feet for extended periods. This specific fabric choice is renowned for its resilience; it resists creasing and maintains its deep navy hue through repeated wear. The inclusion of recycled fibres demonstrates a commitment to more sustainable garment production, ensuring your professional image is also an ethical one.
Why No Customisation?
This specific item is offered without customisation to preserve the precise lines and elegant drape of the superfine polyester fabric. Tailored garments like this waistcoat are designed with specific tension points; adding heavy embroidery or heat-applied transfers could interfere with the way the garment hangs or potentially damage the refined finish of the superfine weave. We believe the quality of the Brook Taverner tailoring speaks for itself.
Use Cases
The Mercury waistcoat is an ideal choice for front-of-house staff in the hospitality sector, corporate office environments, or formal events where a full jacket might be too restrictive. Its classic design makes it versatile enough for high-end restaurant service or a professional concierge desk.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear underneath. For a truly professional look, the waistcoat should fit snugly but not pull at the buttons. The rear adjuster is there to fine-tune the fit once you have your shirt in place. We recommend pairing this with a crisp white or light blue shirt to make the navy fabric truly stand out.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the professional appearance of your waistcoat is straightforward thanks to its machine-washable nature. Regular cleaning according to the manufacturer's instructions will prevent the build-up of oils and dust that can dull the fabric's finish over time.
By following the machine wash guidelines, you ensure the internal structure of the waistcoat remains intact. Avoid high-heat environments where possible, as this helps to preserve the integrity of the superfine polyester fibres and ensures the garment retains its shape for many months of service.
