Explore our world of waistcoats and bow ties

Most people would do well to abide by the timeless idiom, "Quality, not quantity", especially given the excesses of modern life, and we're no different at Favourbrook. Painstaking craftsmanship is what goes into each and every one of our products. Our sartorial style is timeless, so we have no reason to rush out new whimsical trends season upon season, preferring instead to update our classics with wonderful new fabric discoveries.

When it comes to waistcoats and bow ties, it seems you can have the best of both world's at Favourbrook. Both items have not changed much at all in decades. Bow ties might have fluctuated in width over the years, but waistcoats have remained largely the same, whether single- or double-breasted. As such, we have compiled one of the biggest collections of waistcoats in the world, comprising myriad luxury fabrics that are fit for any and every occasion, particularly weddings and formal events.

The great thing about baulking at 'trends' and opting for timeless sartorialism,
is that nothing ever goes out of 'fashion'. A beautiful double-breasted waistcoat from five years ago is still a beautiful double-breasted waistcoat today. Perhaps the dimensions of the lapels have been tweaked, or the lining changed, but the rudiments of the garment have remained steadfastly elegant and flattering. You only need to venture into our waistcoats and accessories emporium in the Piccadilly Arcade to get an idea of the vastness and diversity of our range. In there you'll find one-off pieces, limited editions, timeless classics, and should you have something very particular in mind, we'd be very happy to make it up for you.
