Glyndebourne Black Double-Breasted Waistcoat by Ottoman Silks

This silk jacquard woven double-breasted waistcoat has been created exclusively by Ottoman Silks for Glyndebourne with a bespoke woven fabric. The design is taken from the imperial wardrobe of Sultan Selim II (1524 – 1574). Handmade in a traditional London style, and finished with two front pockets, matching silk buttons and adjustable back buckle. This classically tailored waistcoat blends classic western tastes with Ottoman heritage, and is sure to be a conversation starter at Glyndebourne!

The Siyah Amina fabric is a black silk variation of the Amina design – an intricate staggered ogival lattice of tulips and medallions combined with a repeating horizontal pattern. Originally hand woven in pure silk as a ceremonial robe that was long sleeved and collarless with side slits lined with beaver fur.

Our exclusive replicate design is expertly woven on jacquard looms by the best silk mills in Bursa – Turkey’s silk capital. With over 500 years of history, this intricate design encapsulates the imperial luxury of its time. Like their opulent beginnings, the fabric has been tailored to produce this unique collection to delight and impress in equal measure.
