Care & Maintenance Guidance

Preserve your waistcoat’s baroque elegance through mindful care. Dry clean recommended to maintain the integrity of the jacquard weave and velvet lapels.

The inelastic fabric will maintain its crisp tailoring for years if treated with the reverence this garment deserves.

The carved metal hardware on each button tells stories of craftsmanship in an era of mass production. This is a waistcoat for those who understand that true style is not about following trends—it’s about building an aesthetic identity that resonates with your soul.

Whether you’re stepping into a dimly lit venue filled with like-minded individuals, commanding attention at a formal event, or simply moving through your day with intentional style, this waistcoat serves as your armor, your statement, and your celebration of the gothic aesthetic.
