Description
Tailored in Dublin | A Statement in Quiet Confidence
Crafted with care and steeped in heritage, the Behan Grey Herringbone Waistcoat with revere collar brings a refined edge to a timeless silhouette. Made from classic grey herringbone tweed, it’s a piece that speaks softly but says much—versatile, structured, and effortlessly elegant.
Each waistcoat is shaped in Dublin by experienced hands—tailors who understand the quiet luxury of perfect construction. From the revere collar to the full cloth back, this waistcoat is designed with balance and beauty in mind. The four-button front nods to vintage refinement, while the adjustable belt ensures a tailored fit that feels as good as it looks.
Lined in a soft satin printed with a map of the world, it pays homage to the far-reaching stories of Ireland and its people—carrying memory and meaning with every wear.
This design takes inspiration from Brendan Behan, a voice of bold expression and poetic rebellion. Just like Behan, the waistcoat is a celebration of individuality, wit, and the complex beauty of Irish identity.
Why We Make It Here
Produced in small runs in Balbriggan, Dublin, each waistcoat is thoughtfully crafted to the highest standards. The tweed—chosen for its strength, texture, and comfort—offers a timeless foundation, while the tailored detailing speaks to generations of skilled hands and slow, meaningful production. By keeping things local, we honour both tradition and sustainability—two values stitched into every seam.
The Strength of Grey Herringbone Tweed
Herringbone is more than just a pattern—it’s a structural weave that lends both resilience and softness to the cloth. The classic grey tone offers exceptional versatility, able to shift from day to night with quiet confidence. Flecks of fibre give the fabric richness and depth, adding a subtle connection to the Irish landscape and its ever-changing tones.

Caring For Your Tweed Waistcoat
To preserve your waistcoat’s structure and beauty, hang it on a broad hanger and allow it to air out between wears. Spot clean gently when needed, and opt for professional dry cleaning for a deeper refresh. Avoid machine washing—tweed rewards patience and proper care.
Inspired By Brendan Behan:
This waistcoat takes its name from Brendan Behan—playwright, poet, and one of Dublin’s most irreverent voices. Much like the man himself, the grey herringbone strikes a balance between tradition and defiance: refined yet full of character. Behan’s legacy lives in every stitch—bold, lyrical, and unmistakably Irish.
