Bespoke Waistcoats & Vests
Tailored to Perfection

Vest Options for Every Formal Occasion

A waistcoat isn’t just a vest - it’s a statement.

It’s the difference between looking good and being unforgettable.

Whether you’re walking down the aisle, chairing a board meeting, or sipping cocktails in Paris, a bespoke waistcoat elevates your outfit to new levels of sophistication.

At Germanicos, we craft mens waistcoats, ladies tailored vests, and three-piece suit vests in any style imaginable - from classic five-button single-breasted to bold double-breasted waistcoats in navy blue, green, ivory, black, or any colour under the sun.

Waistcoat Fit and Fabric
Built Around You

From tweed and worsted wool to luxurious cashmere, we offer Australia’s largest fabric selection - over 15,000 premium cloths sourced from Europe’s finest mills.

Each waistcoat vest is hand-drafted for your shape, not a template.

Whether you're after a sharp V-cut or a longer line, you’ll design it live with our master tailors using exclusive 3D visualisation software.

Choose lapels, back buckles, lining colour, button thread, welt pockets, patch pockets, satin welts for tuxedos, angled or straight bottoms, V shape or U shape, button choice, and buttonhole stitch colours - all down to the last detail.

Three Piece Suits
for Men and Women

Nothing polishes an outfit like a third layer.

For men, the waistcoat defines the silhouette.

For women, a three piece suit adds instant elegance and presence.

Weddings? Our tailored vests ensure the groom still looks like the groom after the jacket comes off.

And our ladies tailored waistcoats can be styled sharp or softly - just as powerful in a boardroom as at a black-tie gala.

Jack Ziebell

- I own about 10 suits and this was the first quality one I purchased. Had an amazing experience making my suit from such a passionate and knowledgeable team

Darren McMullen

- For the last two years I've employed the services of Germanicos to help me look sharp for The Logies. They never fail to deliver an astounding suit, in record time. I've never had so many positive comments on my suits before. I won't be going anywhere else from now on.

Aaron Sansoni

Entrepreneur, International Speaker, Best-Selling Author & Philanthropist

- Everything was ‘bespoke’ not just the tailoring, but the conversation and service as well. I have purchased suits in 50+ countries and not one of them has come close to my tailored suits by Germanicos. I have tested all their suits vigorously in every condition both indoors, outdoors and they have passed with flying colours. Getting a suit from Germanicos gives you the feeling of ‘getting a new hair cut every day’!
