''One of the best tweeds in the world“ – it is not without reason that Harris Tweed is honored with this distinction. The classic "Wales" men's waistcoat by Wellington of Bilmore, made from 100% new wool, combines traditional craftsmanship with modern versatility. The exclusive Harris Tweed, woven by hand in the Scottish Outer Hebrides, is far more than just a fabric – it is living tradition, genuine craftsmanship, and a piece of British cultural history. For over a century, Harris Tweed has stood for authentic quality and sustainable, natural production that is second to none. Harris Tweed is impressive not only visually but also functionally: breathable, temperature-regulating, and durable, it offers the highest level of comfort – in any season!
With its elegant lapel collar and a back panel made from the same high-quality outer fabric, the waistcoat radiates timeless class. Five buttons in a sophisticated horn look, two classic flap pockets, a genuine welted breast pocket, and a practical inside pocket underscore the stylish design. Thanks to the adjustable back strap, the fit can be individually tailored – for a perfect silhouette on any occasion.
Whether combined with the matching Harris Tweed jacket ''London“, worn casually with jeans, or classically with chinos and corduroy trousers – the "Wales" waistcoat proves to be a versatile all-rounder with character and is an expression of style, quality, and individuality.

What material is the Harris Tweed Waistcoat "Wales" made of and what are its properties?
The outer fabric is genuine Harris Tweed, 100% virgin wool, hand-woven in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, with a lining of 55% polyester, 45% viscose.

Being lined, the fabric does not sit directly against the skin and is comfortable to wear all day long.
Is the Harris Tweed on the "Wales" waistcoat really genuine?
Yes, it is genuine Harris Tweed, hand-woven in the Outer Hebrides, which Wellington of Bilmore uses only in its original quality. Every model carries the official certificate of authenticity from the Harris Tweed Authority sewn in, the unmistakable proof of origin for genuine Harris Tweed.
Does the colour or pattern of the "Wales" waistcoat differ from the product photo?
Harris Tweed is woven by hand, which makes every "Wales" waistcoat unique, so colour and pattern may differ slightly from the photo. This lively texture is part of the material's character and not a flaw; in addition, screens may display colour tones slightly differently.
