Whether with checked patterns, a wool look or clean, simple lines, the selection is as versatile as your everyday life. Styles with stand-up collars or in a casual look are just as easy to combine as more refined suit waistcoats. Every piece stands out with thoughtful details and high-quality materials that combine comfort and durability.
Materials
- Cotton: can be used both as an outer fabric and as lining. As an outer material, it stands out with its soft and breathable structure, which provides high wearing comfort. In the lining, cotton offers a pleasant feel and supports temperature regulation, making it ideal for blazers and waistcoats that can be worn in many different ways.
- Elastane: is usually added to the outer fabric or lining to improve freedom of movement. It provides flexibility and an optimal fit, especially with close-fitting cuts. This elasticity makes blazers and waistcoats especially comfortable and functional.
- Polyester: is used for both the outer fabric and the lining. It makes the clothing shape-retaining, durable and easy to care for. As a lining, polyester provides a smooth surface that makes the garment easier to put on and keeps the fabric durable.
- Linen: is a classic material for outer fabrics, known for its lightweight structure and cooling properties. Linen is especially valued in summer collections because it is breathable and creates a natural look.

Men’s blazers and waistcoats – frequently asked questions
How do I properly care for my blazer and waistcoat?
- Wash at 30 to 40 degrees on a gentle cycle
- Turn the blazer or waistcoat inside out to protect the material
- Avoid using fabric softener, as it can damage the fibres
- Do not tumble dry the garment, instead let it air dry
- Follow the care instructions on the label, as the styles may differ
Which buttons should you fasten on a blazer?
- On a two-button blazer, the top button is fastened while the bottom button remains open for a better fit and more freedom of movement.
- On a three-button blazer, the middle button or the top and middle buttons are fastened, while the bottom button always remains open.
- When sitting down, the buttons should be opened to avoid creasing and allow more freedom of movement. They are fastened again when standing up.
How should a waistcoat fit?
A waistcoat should fit closely to the upper body without feeling restrictive. It should sit neatly around the shoulders without sticking out or creating folds. The lower edge of the waistcoat should slightly cover the waistband of the trousers so that no shirt is visible when the blazer is worn open. The buttons should close without pulling, and the fabric should lie flat across the chest and back.
