Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Toulouse Ladies Waistcoat is a sophisticated staple of any professional uniform, designed to provide a tailored and distinguished appearance. Part of the renowned Sophisticated Collection, this garment combines classic tailoring with modern fabric technology to ensure your team looks sharp while remaining comfortable throughout a demanding shift. The five-button front and sleek silhouette offer a professional profile that complements blouses and shirts with ease.
Key Features
- The five-button front closure provides a secure, traditional silhouette that maintains a tidy and professional appearance from morning until evening.
- Two front welt pockets offer practical, discreet storage for small essential items, ensuring functionality without compromising the garment's clean lines.
- The lining-backed design includes an integrated adjuster, allowing the wearer to achieve a customised, flattering fit that accommodates different body shapes.
- Constructed with recycled polyester, this waistcoat supports more environmentally conscious procurement choices without sacrificing textile performance.
Design & Performance
The fabric is a well-engineered blend consisting of 63% polyester, 34% viscose, and 3% LYCRA® elastane. This medium-weight material provides the perfect balance between durability and comfort. The inclusion of 30% recycled polyester demonstrates a commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices, while the viscose content ensures the fabric remains breathable and soft against the skin.
Performance is enhanced by the addition of LYCRA® elastane, which provides essential stretch. This allows the waistcoat to move with the wearer, preventing the restriction often found in static formal wear. The machine-washable nature of the fabric ensures that the garment can withstand the rigours of daily wear in a busy professional environment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, high-quality finish of the Toulouse waistcoat makes it an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is highly recommended for a superior finish, particularly for corporate logos or staff names, as it provides a three-dimensional, premium look that is exceptionally durable. The fine weave of the fabric ensures that even intricate needlework remains crisp and clear.
For larger branding requirements or high-impact designs, our printing services offer a vibrant and precise alternative. All customisation is managed in-house at our Telford facility, where our expert team has been perfecting the art of workwear branding since 1976.

It is equally appropriate for corporate office environments, banking, and professional services where a formal yet approachable uniform is required. Its durable construction makes it a reliable choice for staff who need to maintain a high standard of dress throughout their working week.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear beneath the waistcoat. The adjustable back allows for some flexibility, but ensuring a good fit across the shoulders and chest is paramount for a professional look. For a complete uniform solution, we recommend pairing this with other items from the Brook Taverner Sophisticated Collection to ensure a perfect colour match.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and aesthetic of your garment is essential for a long-lasting professional appearance and to ensure your branding remains in excellent condition.
The Toulouse waistcoat is designed to be machine washable. Following this instruction is vital to remove daily oils and dust that can degrade fabric fibres over time. Regular laundering at the correct settings helps the fabric retain its shape and prevents the build-up of contaminants that could otherwise dull the colour and finish of the material.
