Behind this piece
The waistcoat entered the vocabulary of Indian menswear through the courts of the Nawabs, where tailored layering spoke of refinement without ostentation. This made-to-order piece is cut in art silk, a fabric beloved across bridal ateliers in Surat and Varanasi for its luminous drape and forgiving structure. Its plain surface is a deliberate choice, allowing the weave's subtle sheen to carry the garment. Eighteen colours, from Burnt Henna to Swedish Blue, honour the breadth of regional wedding palettes, from Rajasthani reds to Bengali ivory traditions. Simplicity, here, is a studied aesthetic.
How to style
For a north Indian wedding, pair the Brick Red waistcoat over a cream silk kurta with churidar and mojris in embossed leather. Champagne Beige worn over a pale ivory sherwani reads beautifully at a Parsi or South Indian ceremony where restraint is prized. For the reception, layer Jet Black over a collarless linen kurta with straight trousers and Kolhapuri chappals in tan. A simple silver brooch at the chest pocket or a thread-work pocket square is all the embellishment this silhouette needs to feel complete and considered.
Fabric & care
Art silk responds well to hand-washing in cold water with a gentle, pH-neutral detergent. Do not wring or twist the fabric; press out excess water gently between two dry towels. Dry flat in shade, away from direct sunlight, which dulls the lustre over time. Iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth between iron and fabric. Store folded or on a padded hanger inside a breathable cotton bag. Avoid contact with perfume or deodorant directly on the fabric, as alcohol-based products weaken art silk fibres gradually with repeated exposure.
