The Keeper Waistcoat

£145.00

A keeper is the person who tends the land, who knows it in all weathers and holds it for those who come after. We have named our beloved waistcoat after such an occupation. It is, we think, the piece that holds everything else together.

Garment description

Cut from 100% linen with a cotton lining. The collar can be worn turned in for a neater look, or folded out for a softer, more open look. 

A back tab fastens with buttons or can simply be tied, drawing the waist in as much or as little as you like. 

Available in seven colourways:

  • Natural

  • Brown

  • Cream

  • Black

  • Black with Natural Big Check

  • Natural with Cream Big Check

  • Natural with Brown Big Check

Our styles are designed with a generous cut to give an ‘A-line’ silhouette.

Belts, buttons and other accessories can be used to accentuate wherever you would like.

The garments can be sized up and down freely, depending upon your fit preference and with layering in mind.

How to wear it

The Keeper Waistcoat goes over dresses and under coats and sits at the centre of almost every outfit in the collection. 

Wear it belted over the Box Dress for a more defined silhouette. Layer it under the Marsh Coatdress for extra warmth without bulk. 

Worn over the Petticoat Slip with the Amelia Bloomers for a light outfit.
