Our Jaquard and Silk fabrics are exotic; colourful and lined in bold classic satins & rayons. The fine quality and emaculate cut defines stature; the impeccable details include two pockets and your choice of Chinese Frogs or Buttons; and an Ascot and Pocket Square. The term vest derives from French veste, Italian vesta, veste "robe, gown," and Latin vestis. The sleeveless garment worn by men beneath a coat may have been first popularised by King Charles II of England, since a diary entry by Pepys (October 8, 1666) records that "[t]he King hath yesterday, in Council, declared his resolution of setting a fashion for clothes.... It will be a vest, I know not well how; but it is to teach the nobility thrift."
