Ricardo brown vest. The formal vest is classically portrayed in this piece. In a deep brown colour with integrated pockets in mid brown and front buttons in striking silver, the vest combines the rich, earthy tones of nature with timeless tailoring. This vest is suitable for a conservative look when matched with other neutrals, but could also provide a backdrop for more daring colours. Part of the attraction of waistcoats is in their versatility, as they add an extra layer of warmth without being restrictive, and this item is made with cotton for a lightweight, comfortable fit.
