Here is the Lexington Drago Blue Houndstooth Suit Vest, made in a wool fabric. The cloth has a houndstooth check.

It's 100% wool, with no blend. Wool holds a press well and recovers after a day's wear.

You can wear the vest with the matching jacket or by itself with your sleeves rolled. A suit vest, sometimes called a waistcoat, sits under your jacket or over a shirt on its own.

It's cut to your measurements rather than a stock size.

Shoes matter here.

Wear it with the matching suit for a three piece look, or on its own at a summer wedding. With blue, black shoes look more formal and brown ones more relaxed. A vest is one of the easiest ways to change the feel of a suit you already own, adding structure and polish without buying a whole new outfit. Hang it on a wide hanger between wears.
