Mens Navy Blue Wool Blend Vest and Pants Set

At most weddings, the jackets come off the moment dinner is served. Speeches start, the dance floor fills up, and the room gets warm. A navy vest and pants set is made for that part of the night. It keeps the groomsmen looking sharp and coordinated under the chandeliers, without anyone sweating through a full suit, and it still looks right in the formal photos earlier in the day.

What Is Included

• Included: 1 navy blue vest and 1 pair of matching navy blue pants
• Not included: the shirt, tie, belt and shoes shown in the photos. No jacket is included.
• Pants ship unhemmed with a 35 inch inseam so a local tailor can hem them to each person's exact length

Why Wedding Parties Choose This Set

• Polished from the ceremony to the last dance. A fitted vest gives a white shirt and tie a tailored shape, so the look holds up in portraits and on the dance floor alike.
• Navy works with almost any palette. It sits well beside blush, burgundy, gold, silver, sage and white, so it rarely clashes with bridesmaid dresses or decor.
• Comfortable in a warm room. Without a jacket, groomsmen have one less layer during a crowded reception, which many appreciate by the end of the night.
• Fewer creases on the day. The polyester in this wool blend helps the fabric resist wrinkling better than pure wool, which helps through a long dinner seated at the head table.
• The look of wool at a lower price. The wool content gives the set a natural drape and a soft surface, while the blend keeps the price below what a pure wool vest and pants usually cost. That matters when each groomsman is buying his own.
• Checked before it ships. Every set goes through our sample room in Suzhou, where our team checks the size, the color against your order and the finishing before it is packed.

Where This Set Works Best

• Ballroom, hotel and restaurant receptions with an elegant evening feel
• Groomsmen in any season, especially when the groom wears a full suit or tuxedo
• Rehearsal dinners, engagement parties and wedding receptions as a guest
• Holiday parties, New Year's Eve dinners and formal work events
• After the wedding, the vest pairs with chinos and the pants with a blazer for everyday events

Styling Notes From Real Weddings

Your shirt matters more without a jacket. With a vest, your shirt sleeves and collar are on full view. Choose a well fitted white or light blue shirt and press it the morning of the wedding.

Where does the tie go? Tuck the tie inside the vest so the tip sits just above the bottom button. It keeps the front clean when you move and dance.

Black or brown shoes? Black shoes, as shown, suit an evening ballroom reception. Brown shoes give navy a warmer look for daytime or rustic venues. Choose one for the whole party.

Tie colors. A black or navy tie keeps the look classic. Matching ties to the bridesmaid dresses in blush, burgundy or gold connects the wedding party. Browse ties and bow ties to coordinate the group.

Fabric and Care

This set blends wool with polyester. The wool gives it a natural drape and a soft, matte surface. The polyester adds durability and helps the fabric recover from creasing, so it needs less pressing than pure wool. Some light creasing behind the knees after a long dinner is normal and usually relaxes overnight on a hanger.

• Dry clean only, and clean the vest and pants together so the color stays even
• Steam on a low setting to remove creases from shipping or packing
• If pressing is needed, use low heat and a pressing cloth to avoid shine on the dark fabric
• Hang the pants by the cuffs or folded over a hanger bar, and hang the vest on a regular hanger
• Brush gently with a soft clothes brush to remove lint

Who this set is for: groomsmen who want to look polished at the reception without a full suit, and men looking for a versatile navy outfit for receptions, rehearsal dinners and formal evenings.
