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 fit is a close European waistcoat cut. The stand collar is bound in vegetable-tanned cognac leather; all three welt pockets are bound in the same leather. The magnetic closure system is heat-set into a double-layer reinforced woven interlining behind the decorative button row, creating a perfect engagement along the full placket length. All magnet units are encapsulated before assembly and rated through 200+ machine-wash cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ablecove","offers":[{"title":"Olive \/ XS","offer_id":53523827949752,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Olive \/ S","offer_id":53523821134008,"sku":"1","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ M","offer_id":53523821166776,"sku":"1","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ L","offer_id":53523821199544,"sku":"1","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ XL","offer_id":53523821232312,"sku":"1","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ 2XL","offer_id":53523821265080,"sku":"1","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ 3XL","offer_id":53523821297848,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/5166\/7896\/files\/1_227c1c11-e259-456a-9203-fee1de0e6a0f.webp?v=1781515141","url":"https:\/\/ablecove.com\/products\/the-alder-waistcoat-in-olive","provider":"ablecove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
