John Lewis Super 100s Wool Birdseye Regular Fit Suit Waistcoat

You've probably seen the phrase Super 100s a lot while shopping for suits. It's a measure of how fine the wool is, with a higher number translating to a finer wool which will feel softer and smoother to the hand. You can expect that fine feel from this THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED suit waistcoat, along with the breathability that natural fibres like wool are known for.

The world has changed a lot in the last few years, and dress codes are no longer what they used to be. However, there are still plenty of occasions in life when only a sensible waistcoat for your suit will do. Charcoal grey is a well-considered choice for any event you could need a suit for — a sober base for serious occasions, or a canvas for brighter ties and pocket squares on happier ones.

Just because this is a 'sensible' option doesn't mean it's stuffy to wear. The 100% merino wool was chosen for all-day comfort and it's fully lined in navy. The wool features a birdseye pattern, a small-scale weave that is not obvious at first glance but adds a touch more texture to the cloth.

Matching suit jacket and trousers are available to complete the look.
