The Suitmate Oxblood Brown Birdseye Suit Vest is cut from a wool cloth. The cloth has a birdseye weave, tiny dots that read as solid from a few feet away.

Groomsmen often wear vests once the jackets come off at the reception. Pair brown with a white or light blue shirt and brown suede shoes. It's made from 100% wool. Wool breathes, so you'll stay comfortable from morning into evening.

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. The classic rule is to leave the bottom button undone, which lets the vest sit flat when you sit down and keeps it from riding up.

Each one's made to order for the person wearing it. Leave one undone. Hang it on a wide hanger between wears.
