Gilet Pinstripe black

The black Pinstripe waistcoat is a men's sleeveless waistcoat made of 100% polyester with a fine white pinstripe, a deep V-neck and three buttons. The striped look immediately evokes the atmosphere of the 1920s and 30s, with cigar smoke, jazz music and gangsters in smart suits. Men wear the waistcoat for a mafia party, a 1920s party or during carnival.

This is what the black pinstripe waistcoat has

• The outside is made of 100% polyester with a vertical white pinstripe on a black background.

• The back is made of the same striped material, with a seam in the middle and a pointed bottom hem.
• The waistcoat is available in size L/XL and is intended for adults.
• According to the label, you clean the waistcoat by hand.

Why does a pinstripe waistcoat stand out differently than a plain black model?

The fine stripe makes this waistcoat a gangster garment instead of a neutral party vest. A plain black waistcoat can go with almost any outfit, but the pinstripe refers directly to the tailored suits that belonged to the underworld in the 1920s and 30s. Precisely because of that, it is recognizable as a mafia look, even without a jacket over it. At a barn wedding or western party, the waistcoat also works, because a striped vest fits the smart-Sunday-clothes-look there.

This is how you complete the gangster look around the waistcoat

Over a white shirt with long sleeves, the waistcoat immediately comes into its own, as you see it worn here. Combine it with black trousers, a narrow tie or suspenders and a fedora for a complete 1930s outfit. Accessories complete the story: round sunglasses with dark lenses, a fake cigar, a gold chain or a signet ring. If you want to portray a rougher gangster, paint a goatee or a scar on your cheek with a grey pencil.

A pinstripe waistcoat for a mafia party or 1920s party

Men wear this waistcoat during carnival, at a theme party with gangsters and in the 1920s or 1930s atmosphere of a gala or casino night. It also works well as part of a farmer outfit, because the striped vest works as a smart top layer there. You need little more than a white shirt and dark trousers.

Choose the black Pinstripe waistcoat and you will immediately look stylish at carnival or a mafia party.
