Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Tailcoat represents the pinnacle of formal workwear, designed for those who require a sophisticated and traditional appearance without sacrificing modern practicality. Crafted from 100% pure new wool, this garment offers a luxurious finish and natural breathability that synthetic alternatives simply cannot replicate. Despite its formal construction, this tailcoat is remarkably engineered to be machine washable, making it an ideal choice for high-pressure hospitality and ceremonial environments where maintaining a pristine appearance is non-negotiable.
Key Features
- 100% Pure New Wool: This natural material provides exceptional temperature regulation and a refined texture, ensuring the wearer remains comfortable during long shifts.
- Double Breasted Lapels: The inclusion of double breasted lapels on a single-breasted frame offers a distinctive, high-end aesthetic suitable for the most formal occasions.
- Centre Vent: The rear centre vent allows for a greater range of movement, preventing the garment from bunching when sitting or moving quickly.
- Four Button Cuff and Covered Buttons: These traditional tailoring details provide a seamless, elegant finish that reinforces the professional authority of the wearer.
- Classic Fit: Designed with a generous cut to provide comfort and ease of movement, ensuring the garment looks structured without being restrictive.
Design & Performance
This tailcoat is a masterclass in functional formalwear. The use of pure new wool ensures that the garment hangs beautifully, resisting the creasing often associated with lighter, synthetic blends. The fabric is substantial enough to hold its shape throughout a full day of service while remaining breathable enough for indoor use. The out breast welt pocket is expertly stitched, providing a dedicated space for pocket squares or identification, while the link button closure ensures a secure and clean silhouette.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To truly elevate this garment for your business, we recommend our professional embroidery services. Adding a subtle logo or staff name in high-quality thread provides a superior, permanent finish that complements the wool's texture. While this garment can accommodate print for bold branding, embroidery is the preferred choice for maintaining the formal integrity of a tailcoat. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team at our Telford facility, drawing on decades of experience since our founding in 1976.
Use Cases
This tailcoat is perfectly suited for front-of-house staff in luxury hotels, toastmasters, funeral directors, and high-end hospitality teams. It is designed for environments where a standard suit jacket does not convey the necessary level of prestige or tradition.

Practical Advice
As this is a classic fit garment, it is designed to be worn comfortably over a formal waistcoat and shirt. We recommend reviewing our sizing guide to ensure the shoulders sit correctly, as this is vital for maintaining the sharp, architectural silhouette required of a tailcoat.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your pure wool tailcoat is straightforward thanks to its machine-washable construction. We recommend following the machine wash instructions precisely to ensure the natural wool fibres do not shrink or lose their shape. Avoiding excessive heat is crucial for preserving the longevity of the fabric.
When drying, the garment should be hung naturally. Avoid tumble drying, as the mechanical heat can damage the internal structure of the tailoring and the delicate covered buttons. A light steam or cool iron will return the tailcoat to its crisp, professional state.
