DESCRIPTION

A stand-collar waistcoat in pure linen, dyed to the exact teal of a glacial lake. The hidden magnetic closure engages on contact and releases with a pull, with nothing visible on either side of the vest. Worn over a shirt on a warm evening, the Glacier holds its shape and color through the heat in a way few warm-weather waistcoats manage.

FEATURES

√ Faster & Easier For Every Situation

No longer have to go through the hassle of fastening and unfastening buttons one by one; the Lodge removes that friction.

√ Hidden Magnetic Closure

Engages on contact, releases with a pull, with no hardware visible on either the outer linen or the inner lining.

√ Unique & Refreshing Colorway

Woven and dyed to a teal that shifts between glacial blue and deep alpine green depending on the light.

√ 100% Soft Linen

Pure linen with a slubbed surface texture - breathable and progressively softer with every wear.

√ Cognac Leather Piping

Tan leather trim runs collar, placket and three pockets - the single contrast detail that grounds the teal in something warm rather than purely cool.

√ Three Welt Pockets

A single angled chest welt pocket sits at the left breast, with two horizontal welt pockets at the hip.

DETAILS

Design intent

A linen waistcoat offers what wool cannot in warm weather - structure and formality without the heat. The Glacier exists to keep both, where most linen vests trade tailoring for comfort. A structured stand collar, leather piping, and a nine-button placket preserve a traditional look, while a hidden interlining closure does the actual fastening without nine separate steps.

Design inspiration

The Glacier draws from Central European Trachten waistcoat tradition - stand collar, dense button row, and leather-bound pockets - but replaces heavy wool with linen for warm-weather wear. The Alpine Lake colorway reflects the shifting blue-green light of glacial water at altitude. Cognac leather references traditional trim on the finest examples of the style, adding warmth to the cool linen base.

Craft details

100% linen with a slub texture, dyed Alpine Lake teal and designed to soften with wear. Slim tailored fit with front darts and a curved hem. Stand collar, placket, chest welt pocket, and hip pockets are bound in cognac leather piping, with a smooth satin lining. Nine buttons sit on the surface for visual detail; hidden magnets beneath, heat-welded into reinforced interlining, engage the full placket on contact. Rated for 200+ wash cycles.
