The Alder begins with a simple question: what if the traditional button row - the defining visual element of every waistcoat since the 18th century - could remain exactly as it looks, while fastening took only seconds, without the slow and repetitive fastening process? Then our hidden magnetic system provides the answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign inspiration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe European field waistcoat - a fitted, stand-collared vest worn by hunters, gamekeepers, and foresters in the Alpine and Central European tradition - is the direct reference for the Alder's cut and collar geometry. The cognac leather trim is borrowed from 19th-century Austrian Trachten waistcoats, where contrast bindings marked the quality of construction. The Alder Waistcoat is named after the alder tree, commonly found along riverbanks in Europe - evoking the feeling of standing in a quiet valley by the water, at ease and unhurried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCraft details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is a washed linen fabric with the crackled wash surface that references oilcloth and aged military cloth.

The Vale borrows it precisely but replaces the formal suiting cloth with a washed canvas that gives the silhouette a contemporary weight. “Vale” refers to a deep valley between slopes - chosen for the sense of quiet and openness it evokes, like an evening valley that feels calm, expansive, and embracing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCraft details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is a cotton canvas garment-washed to a broken-in hand that prevents the canvas from stiffening.
