Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Proteus Men's Waistcoat is a refined piece of professional attire designed for those who require a sharp, tailored silhouette without compromising on daily practicality. As a key component of the Sophisticated Collection, this garment is engineered to withstand the rigours of a busy working environment while maintaining the high standards expected in corporate or front-of-house roles. Its classic aesthetic is matched by a modern construction that prioritises both comfort and longevity.
Key Features
Notch lapels: These provide a traditional, professional appearance that elevates the waistcoat from a simple utility garment to a sophisticated piece of tailoring.
5 button front: This configuration ensures a secure and structured fit, keeping the waistcoat perfectly in place throughout the working day.
Cloth backed: Unlike standard waistcoats with lightweight linings, the cloth back offers a more substantial feel and improved durability, ensuring the garment retains its shape.
2 welt pockets: These offer discreet and convenient storage for small essentials while maintaining the clean, streamlined lines of the waistcoat.
Design & Performance
The technical brilliance of the Proteus waistcoat lies in its fabric composition. It is crafted from a medium-weight blend of 64% polyester, 34% viscose, and 2% LYCRA® elastane. The inclusion of recycled polyester within the blend demonstrates a commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices without sacrificing the resilience of the garment.
Performance is further enhanced by the addition of LYCRA® elastane, which provides a subtle stretch. This allows the waistcoat to move with the wearer, preventing the restriction often felt in traditional formal wear. The viscose element ensures a soft handle and a natural feel, making it comfortable for extended shifts. This combination results in a garment that is both robust enough for daily use and elegant enough for high-stakes professional environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Proteus waistcoat is an ideal candidate for customisation, allowing businesses to create a cohesive brand identity. For a truly professional and authoritative look, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team uses precision techniques to apply logos or names, ensuring a high-quality finish that complements the garment's sophisticated style.
For larger or more vibrant branding requirements, print customisation is also available. At MyWorkwear, we have been perfecting these processes since 1976. Our in-house experts handle every stage of the customisation process, ensuring that your branding is applied with the utmost care to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the professional appearance of the waistcoat.
Use Cases
This waistcoat is perfectly suited for professionals in the hospitality sector, including hotel management, concierge staff, and high-end restaurant teams. It is equally effective in corporate offices, reception areas, and the professional services sector, where a smart and cohesive uniform is essential for establishing trust and authority.
Why MyWorkwear
Choosing MyWorkwear means partnering with a company that has nearly half a century of expertise.

We understand that your uniform is a reflection of your business, which is why we handle all customisation in-house to ensure the highest standards are met.
Practical Advice
To achieve the best aesthetic, we recommend ensuring the waistcoat is fitted correctly; the LYCRA® content will provide the necessary flexibility for a tailored fit. This garment layers exceptionally well with other items from the Sophisticated Collection, such as matching trousers or a blazer, to create a complete and professional corporate identity.
Caring for your product
This waistcoat is designed to be machine washable, making it a practical choice for daily workwear. Regular laundering in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions will ensure the garment remains fresh and maintains its structured appearance.
We advise against the use of harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the viscose and elastane fibres, leading to a loss of elasticity and colour vibrancy. Following the correct care procedures will ensure that your custom embroidery or print remains in excellent condition for the lifespan of the garment.
