Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Vega Jacket is a sophisticated and contemporary take on corporate tailoring, specifically designed for the modern professional woman. Moving away from traditional lapels, this jacket features a sleek, collarless aesthetic that provides a streamlined silhouette without sacrificing authority. Part of the esteemed Eclipse Collection, it combines style with practical workplace requirements, offering a tailored fit that remains comfortable throughout a demanding shift.
Key Features
- Collarless Styling with Curved Splits: The minimalist neckline offers a modern, clean look that pairs exceptionally well with both blouses and knitwear, while the splits add a subtle design flourish.
- Tailored Fit: Carefully constructed to follow the contours of the body, providing a professional appearance that is neither too restrictive nor too loose.
- Internal Jett Pockets: Two discreetly placed internal pockets provide secure storage for essential items like mobile phones or identification cards without disrupting the jacket's exterior lines.
- Curved Front and Back Seams: These structural seams are engineered to enhance the garment's shape, ensuring it retains its tailored silhouette even after extensive wear.
Design & Performance
The Vega Jacket is crafted from a high-performance fabric blend of 64% Polyester, 34% Viscose, and 2% LYCRA® Elastane. By incorporating 30% recycled polyester, Brook Taverner has ensured this garment meets the sustainability requirements of the modern business environment without compromising on durability. This medium-weight fabric offers a smooth finish and a subtle drape that looks professional from the first meeting to the final commute.
The inclusion of LYCRA® provides essential four-way stretch, allowing for a greater range of movement than traditional rigid suiting. This is particularly beneficial for staff in active corporate roles. The viscose element adds a soft touch to the fabric, ensuring it feels comfortable against the skin, while the polyester provides the necessary resilience for daily industrial use.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For a garment of this quality, we typically recommend embroidery to achieve a superior, professional finish. Our in-house team in Telford uses high-tension embroidery frames to ensure your logo or staff names are applied with precision, maintaining the jacket's structural integrity. Embroidery is particularly effective on this fabric blend, offering a long-lasting and prestigious look that withstands regular cleaning.
While embroidery is the standard for corporate suiting, this jacket can also accommodate high-quality printing for bolder branding requirements. Our expertise, built since 1976, ensures that whichever method you choose, the branding will be positioned to complement the jacket's curved seams and tailored lines.
Use Cases
The Vega Jacket is ideally suited for front-of-house roles where a modern, professional image is paramount. It is a popular choice for hotel receptionists, corporate concierge teams, and airline cabin crew. Its machine-washable nature also makes it a practical solution for busy office environments where maintaining a sharp appearance is required daily.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that this is a tailored fit garment designed to be worn over light layers like a blouse or a thin camisole. If you intend to wear heavier knitwear underneath, you may wish to consider the next size up to ensure full comfort and range of motion. The collarless design makes it an excellent choice for showing off a branded scarf or a detailed neckline.
Caring for your product
This jacket is fully machine washable, which is a significant advantage for daily-wear corporate clothing. To maintain the sharp silhouette and ensure the Lycra fibres do not lose their elasticity, we recommend washing at a domestic temperature of 40°C. High temperatures can degrade the synthetic fibres, leading to a loss of shape over time.
To preserve the finish of the fabric and any custom embroidery, it is best to air dry the garment on a hanger. This reduces the need for heavy ironing and prevents the heat damage often associated with tumble drying. If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting to avoid creating a 'shine' on the polyester-viscose surface.
