The Timeless Fine Faille Grosgrain Cummerbund

Evolving from a sash worn around the waist, a cummerbund is a unique accessory that refines your midsection while imparting an unexpected variation to your waist that breaks up the bulk of a dinner jacket and formal trousers. This produces an elegant effect that imparts dignity and sophistication to any gentleman.

This cummerbund has been carefully crafted from woven silk Faille, Grosgrain or Repp fabric, which is then pushed through a press, giving it this very renowned watered silk effect, which is appreciated by menswear connoisseurs.

This cummerbund is a one size fits it all. We use elastic inserts, so the cummerbund fits perfectly and comfortably at all times, no matter if you walk, sit or stand. The silk area is 62 cm x 15cm or 24.5" x 6" at the widest point so your waistband is covered in silk, and your shirt will not poke out on the side.

During the Golden Age of Menswear, stylish gentlemen went to the effort of matching the fabrics of their Black Tie ensembles, ensuring that their bow ties, faced lapels, cummerbunds, and shoelaces were properly coordinated. To help you achieve this level of style perfection, Fort Belvedere is happy to carry coordinating bow ties, designed to harmonize with each and every one of our cummerbunds.

While you may choose how to keep your waist covered, a waist covering of some kind is essential, and a cummerbund is, for most gentlemen, an excellent option because it flatters the figure by cinching the waist and, because of its reduced size, is more breathable and cooler than a formal evening waistcoat.
