Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Rockwood Men's Waistcoat is a refined addition to any professional wardrobe, blending classic tailoring with contemporary durability. Designed for those who require a polished appearance without sacrificing longevity, this waistcoat features a sophisticated navy herringbone pattern that provides depth and texture. The inclusion of a notch lapel elevates the garment beyond a standard uniform piece, offering a more formal and authoritative aesthetic suitable for front-of-house staff or corporate environments.
Key Features
- Notch Lapel: This classic tailoring detail provides a structured, professional finish that frames the shirt and tie perfectly.
- Five-Button Front: Offers a secure and traditional closure, ensuring the waistcoat maintains its shape throughout a busy shift.
- Dual Welt Pockets: These streamlined pockets provide space for small essentials without disrupting the clean lines of the garment.
- Back Adjuster: Allows the wearer to fine-tune the fit, ensuring the waistcoat sits comfortably against the torso regardless of layering.
Design & Performance
The Rockwood waistcoat is engineered from a technical blend of 40% wool, 40% polyester, and 20% mixed fibres. This combination ensures the garment benefits from the natural breathability and premium feel of wool, while the polyester provides the necessary strength to withstand the rigours of daily wear. The fabric is a substantial, medium-weight material that holds its shape exceptionally well during long hours on duty.
Crucially, the fabric is treated with a Teflon finish. This invisible barrier provides an essential layer of protection against spills and stains, allowing liquids to bead off rather than soaking into the fibres. This is particularly beneficial in fast-paced hospitality environments where maintaining a pristine appearance is paramount.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To truly represent your brand, the Rockwood waistcoat can be personalised by our expert team in Telford. With over four decades of experience since our establishment in 1976, we understand how to handle premium fabrics like this wool blend with the utmost care.
For a sophisticated, professional finish, we recommend embroidery. A well-placed logo or staff name in high-quality thread complements the herringbone texture and reinforces your company's identity. If your branding requires a larger, more vibrant graphic, our high-definition printing processes are also available to ensure your design stands out clearly on the textured fabric.
Use Cases
This waistcoat is an ideal choice for the hospitality sector, including hotel management, high-end restaurant service, and concierge roles. It is equally suited for corporate office environments or formal events where a full suit jacket might be too restrictive but a high professional standard must be maintained.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear beneath the waistcoat. While the lining back with its adjuster allows for some flexibility, the garment should sit snugly without pulling at the buttons. This waistcoat pairs excellently with a crisp cotton shirt and tailored trousers for a complete, professional ensemble.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and technical properties of the Rockwood waistcoat, it is strictly dry clean only. Attempting to wash this garment in a domestic machine will likely damage the wool fibres and degrade the protective Teflon finish, leading to permanent shrinkage or loss of shape.
Regular professional dry cleaning ensures that the intricate herringbone weave remains sharp and the internal linings stay properly aligned. By following this care requirement, you ensure the garment remains a staple of your professional wardrobe for many years.
