Gilbert

Gilbert – The Elegant Traveller

Some pieces move through changing fashions without ever losing their relevance. With its bright beige fabric, traditional six-button cut and striped back in shades of blue and gold, Gilbert evokes journeys of the past, grand European homes and the relaxed elegance of the English countryside.

A waistcoat designed according to traditional tailoring principles

The Gilbert waistcoat draws on the codes of classic British waistcoats: tailored lapels, six buttons, a welt chest pocket, lower flap pockets and an adjustable back strap. The blue-and-gold striped back adds understated sophistication, while the strap allows a precise fit for the child’s shape.

A piece for life’s many moments

Gilbert is a versatile waistcoat for weddings, communions, family ceremonies, photo sessions or elegant everyday outfits. Paired with a Charles or Cyrano shirt and Patrick or Paul trousers, it creates a bright, timeless silhouette.
