Cut from an opulent Stephen Walters silk brocade in porcelain blue and ivory, this striking waistcoat is designed for formal occasions that require a bit of elegant embelishment.
The shawl lapels are cut generously to give a wide sweeping line down to the 6 button fastened waistline. 
Woven with an ornate palmette and pomegranate inspired motif, the fabric draws upon the rich decorative traditions of historic European silk weaving. The intricate pattern catches the light with remarkable depth, giving the cloth an almost liquid appearance as tones shift between soft sky blue, silvered ivory and pale ice hues.
Paired with a traditional morning suit, dove grey tailoring or crisp summer formalwear, it brings a sense of theatrical elegance without sacrificing refinement. Ideal for weddings, Royal Ascot, race meetings and other grand occasions, this is a garment intended to be noticed.
The sweeping asymmetric fastening creates a distinctive silhouette rarely seen in contemporary formalwear, elevating the piece beyond the standard occasion waistcoat and into something altogether more characterful.
The silk itself is woven in England by Stephen Walters — the celebrated Suffolk silk mill established in 1720 and renowned for producing ceremonial and royal textiles for centuries. Their fabrics have long been associated with some of Britain’s most distinguished woven silk traditions.
Each waistcoat is produced as part of an exclusive collaboration between Thomas Fortin and House of Luciano, with both makers’ labels featured inside the garment as a mark of its limited and highly specialised production.
Finished with a luxurious satin back and traditional adjuster fastening, this is formalwear for the gentleman who believes occasion dressing should still possess drama, confidence and a touch of splendour.
