Sologne Waxed Cotton Waistcoat

The Sologne is a rugged and beautifully made waxed cotton waistcoat, inspired by a vintage American hunting gilet and reworked with the refinement, practicality and material quality that define English Utopia.

Its outer is made from premium 2-ply long-staple waxed cotton sourced from Halley Stevensons of Dundee, a fabric chosen for its durability, weather resistance and rich character. The waistcoat is then lined in the same cloth in its unwaxed form, creating a garment with excellent breathability and an extra layer of protection against the elements.

Designed as a highly functional field-style waistcoat, the Sologne offers substantial carrying capacity without sacrificing elegance. It is a piece equally suited to country use, travel and everyday wear, with a strong, masculine silhouette and a distinctive heritage feel.

The collar and pocket trim are finished in real French cowbelly leather from Tanneries Pechdo, adding both durability and a luxurious contrast in texture. At the front is a chunky antique brass size 10 double-opening zip, chosen for strength, ease of use and a timeless appearance.

Pocketing is one of the defining features of this style. The Sologne is equipped with two front pleated patch pockets, with two leather-welted side-entry handwarmer pockets positioned neatly behind them. At the back is a double-opening rear game pocket, while inside and behind the front facing are several cleverly integrated storage options for valuables, maps, a phone or wallet.

The standard back length is 32 inches, or 81.5cm, though this can be specified to your preference for a more personalised fit.
