The Irving Charcoal Performance Flannel Suit Vest is cut from a performance wool blend cloth. What sets the cloth apart is a brushed flannel finish.

Wear it often.

You're getting 97% wool and 3% spandex here. A wool cloth handles changes in temperature better than most fibers. The spandex adds a little stretch when you reach or sit. Flannel is a cool weather cloth, so it'll see the most wear from fall into spring.

A vest gives an outfit more structure through your middle. You can wear the vest with the matching jacket or by itself with your sleeves rolled. Worn on its own at a summer wedding with the sleeves of your shirt rolled, a vest looks relaxed and still clearly dressed for the occasion.

Each one's made to order for the person wearing it.

Groomsmen often wear vests once the jackets come off at the reception. With charcoal, a crisp white shirt gives the strongest contrast.

If you'd like a matching piece, the Irving Charcoal Performance Flannel cloth also comes as a suit.
