Design & Performance
The technical composition of the Waldorf waistcoat is where it truly excels. The fabric is a sophisticated blend of 64% recycled polyester, 34% wool, and 2% LYCRA® Elastane. This medium-weight material provides the perfect balance of breathability and durability. The wool content offers natural temperature regulation and a premium feel, while the recycled polyester adds significant strength and crease resistance. The addition of LYCRA® ensures the garment has just enough stretch to allow for a full range of movement, which is essential for active roles in hospitality or corporate environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, high-quality finish of the Waldorf waistcoat makes it an excellent candidate for both embroidery and print customisation. For a truly professional and traditional appearance, we recommend embroidery for your company logo or staff names. Embroidery adds a tactile, premium dimension to the garment that complements the wool-blend fabric perfectly. Alternatively, for larger, more vibrant branding requirements, our high-definition printing processes provide sharp detail and excellent colour reproduction. All customisation is carried out by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of experience since our establishment in 1976.
Use Cases
This waistcoat is ideally suited for front-of-house staff, hospitality professionals, and corporate office teams who require a formal yet functional uniform. It is equally at home in a high-end hotel lobby as it is in a professional services firm, providing a cohesive and polished look for any female staff member.

Practical Advice
To achieve the best aesthetic result, we recommend wearing the Waldorf waistcoat over a crisp, well-fitted blouse. When selecting your size, consider how you intend to use the rear adjuster; it is designed to nip in the waist for a more contoured fit, so ensure your primary size choice provides enough comfort across the chest and shoulders.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your waistcoat is straightforward thanks to its machine-washable nature. We recommend a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the wool fibres and the elastane stretch components. Avoiding harsh detergents will help maintain the deep Navy colour and the structural bond of the recycled polyester.
Regular laundering is essential to remove natural oils and dust that can settle into the weave of the fabric. Following the specific temperature guidelines provided will ensure that any applied embroidery or print remains vibrant and securely attached for the life of the garment. Do not use bleach or aggressive chemicals, as these will degrade the Lycra fibres, leading to a loss of shape and fit over time.
