Duffle Vest Teasel Grey











Not faking it.
The cloth is a herringbone weave, the kind of fabric you rarely see these days because it takes time, effort and people who actually know what they’re doing. The herringbone structure sheds water, shrugs off abrasion and traps warm air. Extra picks crammed into the weave make it heavier, warmer, firmer and more windproof than your usual tweed. It’s not delicate. It’s not lightweight. It’s built for real life.
Weaving and finishing takes 4–8 weeks because it’s done properly. Mallalieus full the cloth to thicken it, raise the nap for softness and warmth, and press it smooth. The nap is raised using a traditional teasel jig - real teasels, actual thistle heads - because nothing synthetic comes close. It’s old-school craft, and the result feels incredible.
The finished vests are cut and sewn to our pattern and spec by London Tradition in Hackney Wick, masters of the duffle. The whole thing comes together as a proper bit of kit: warm, hard-wearing, comfortable and absurdly wearable. Frankly, once it’s on, you won’t be seen out of it.
We’re proud of this one. You should be too.
