I had a custom suit made with Bentex as part of the bridal party, and I only wish I had known about them during my own wedding. Roshni was fantastic; her attention to detail and level of service were exceptional. She was incredibly personable, and the suit turned out fantastic.
I would strongly recommend Bentex Suits! I had a custom suit made for my wedding, and the entire experience was great. From the initial consultation to the final fitting, the process was smooth and enjoyable. The suit itself is very nice, and it fits perfectly. A huge thank you to Roshni, who was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire process. Her expertise really helped with the decision making process. I couldn't be happier with my suit and would strongly recommend Bentex Suits to anyone looking for a high-quality, custom-made suit.
Many thanks to Roshni and the Bentex team for helping me with my first tailored suit. Warm, welcoming and efficient from the initial appointment to subsequent fittings and finally taking the finished product home. Straightforward process and reasonably priced. Thanks guys!
Vest is a perfect addition to your 2pc suits, whether it’s a business suit or a wedding suit, addition of vest will not only boost the formality of your suit but also grab few eye balls for all the right reasons.
A 2pc suit worn with a vest is better known as a 3pc suit. But one doesn’t always have to wear the waistcoat with matching suit it can also be worn with jeans and Chinos for casual Friday office wear. 3pc suits are often referred as wedding suits because the addition of the vest makes the groom stand out from the rest in the wedding party.
With 1000s of fabrics suitable for vest we can create the waistcoat look you want!
They are the same garment. Waistcoat is the Australian and British term, vest is the American one. Both describe the sleeveless garment worn over a shirt and under a jacket, and both are what turns a two piece suit into a three piece.
Close to the body with no pulling across the buttons and no gaping at the sides. The bottom point should cover your trouser waistband completely when you stand and when you sit, since a strip of visible shirt between waistcoat and trousers is the most common fault. The armholes should sit high enough that the waistcoat does not lift when you raise your arms. Traditionally the bottom button is left undone.
Often, yes. Bring the suit in and we will try to identify or source a close match to the cloth. An exact match is only guaranteed when the waistcoat is cut from the same bolt as the original suit, so if you think you may want one later, it is worth ordering at the same time as the suit. Where an exact match is not possible, a deliberate contrast usually looks better than a near miss.
Waistcoat pricing depends on the fabric, and we quote it at your consultation once you have chosen the cloth. When ordered as part of a three piece suit it is quoted on top of the suit price, which starts at $799 for a two piece. See our pricing.
Four to six weeks on its own. Ordered as part of a three piece suit it is made alongside the jacket and trousers and adds no time to the order. Priority orders can usually be accommodated if you need it sooner.
For a three piece, the same cloth as the suit. As a standalone garment the options open up considerably: tweed and flannel for winter, linen for summer weddings, and patterned or textured cloth where the waistcoat is meant to be seen rather than blend in. A heavier or more textured cloth than you would choose for a full suit usually works well, because a waistcoat shows so little surface area.
