Waistcoat Project Research

Tips and Advice

 

• Longer front than back and sides. Back should still cover all shirt showing no trouser gap at the back.
• Uneven number of buttons 5 for men under 6 foot and 7 for over. Stops large gap or fabric inbetween.
• Try waistcoat with jacket to check the v line and shirt to check neck line for gaping. Neck line should sit neatly around the neck and under the collar so it doesn't sit away.
