About this design
The Bonaberi set brings together three well-thought-out pieces: a band-collar shirt with fine pin-tucks, a sleeveless shawl-collar vest and trousers to match the vest. Smart without being stiff, it stands in for a suit when it's too hot for a jacket. The shirt and vest are chosen in different fabrics for an elegant contrast.
A vest forgives nothing: it has to follow the chest, close without wrinkling and stop right at the trouser waistband. Made to your measurements by an experienced Douala tailor, the three pieces work together perfectly. The KOUTIVA team checks the shirt's pin-tucks, the shawl collar and the finish before delivering the set.
Styling tips
- Vest and trousers in Midnight blue gabardine with a Sky blue chambray shirt: a refined palette of blues.
- Chocolate gabardine with a White poplin shirt gives a warm, classic look.
- Button the vest all the way and let the shirt's band collar show.
- Add a watch chain or pocket square for a vintage touch.
Choosing your fabric
Cut the vest and trousers from Midnight blue gabardine or Chocolate gabardine, and the shirt from White poplin for ceremonies or Sky blue chambray for a more relaxed daytime look.
