The HOGGS OF FIFE Kingussie Tweed Dress Waistcoat is a smart, neatly tailored men’s waistcoat designed to complete formal and country-inspired outfits.
Made from a blend of 70% wool and 30% polyester, it combines the warmth and character of traditional tweed with improved durability and wearability. A PFAS-free Teflon EcoElite™ treatment provides a water-repellent finish to the tweed front.
A smooth polyester-satin back, adjustable buckle strap and buttoned front create a refined fit, while the watch-pocket detail and discreet internal pocket add practical finishing touches.
The Green/Blue tweed gives the waistcoat a distinctive country appearance with the texture and warmth expected from a quality wool-blend garment.
Polyester is added to improve durability and wearability while preserving the traditional look and character of the fabric.
The tweed is treated with Teflon EcoElite™, a PFAS-free durable water-repellent finish that helps light rain and minor spills bead away from the surface.
This provides useful protection when moving between venues or attending outdoor events, although the waistcoat is not described as fully waterproof.
A woven polyester-satin panel across the back creates a smooth, formal finish and allows the waistcoat to sit comfortably beneath the matching Kingussie Sports Jacket.
The contrasting back also reduces unnecessary bulk when the waistcoat forms part of a layered three-piece outfit.
A rear strap with a metal buckle allows the waistcoat to be drawn in at the waist for a neater silhouette.
This adjustment helps refine the fit when the waistcoat is worn over different shirts or beneath a tailored jacket.
The traditional buttoned front and watch-pocket feature reinforce the waistcoat’s classic country tailoring.
A discreet internal pocket provides useful storage for a small personal item without interrupting the clean external appearance.
Pair the Dress Waistcoat with the matching Kingussie Tweed Sports Jacket and trousers for a complete three-piece suit.
It can also be worn without the jacket over a plain or checked shirt for a less formal look suitable for country shows, race days and smart social occasions.
