For when taking your coat off is too revealing and wearing a trenchcoat is just too much. The waistcoat is an article of clothing that has been around since the Restoration in England. In the United States, it is called a vest (in UK English, a vest is the equivalent of the American tanktop). A waistcoat provides extra warmth, an extra layer, and extra pockets (for that most important of gentlemanly accessories, the gold pocket watch on a chain). A stylish formal waistcoat is different from informal vests such as a Badass Biker or Metalhead in a leather or denim vest, a fishing vest for tackle; a hunter's vest; a Granola Girl fringed vest in The '60s hippie style; or the puffy down-filled vest worn by snowboarders. Depending on the waistcoat, characters wearing them can seem especially stylish, pretentious, or eccentric. Or all of the above. Wearing a waistcoat in more modern works can strike the perfect balance between being suave and kicking ass. It is often the sign of Tall, Dark, and Snarky. A relative of Badass Longcoat and Badass in a Nice Suit. If it has Kevlar lining and also protects you from gunfire, it is a Bulletproof Vest, and the two tropes may overlap. Examples: |
