Men's Vest - Terracotta

Style Description

Not your dad's baniyan. A considered one.

The Mellow™ Vest starts with 52% combed cotton and 48% tencel MicroModal® — a fibre made from beech tree pulp that is twice as soft as standard cotton and naturally breathable in Indian summer heat.

The cut is graded specifically for Indian proportions — relaxed through the hip and belly, structured at the chest. Hip-cover length works tucked or untucked. Every panel is pre-washed before stitching, so the shape you feel on day one is the shape you keep. It's a vest. But a considered one. Which, honestly, shouldn't be as rare as it is. Available in S to 3XL.

Terracotta

A warm, sun-baked earthy hue inspired by clay and slow afternoons. Grounded yet glowing, it brings a quiet warmth that feels both timeless and alive.

Fabric and Composition

52%Combed Cotton

48%Tencel MicroModal

Knit gauge: 28 GG super-fine jersey — tighter than standard jersey. Smoother feel. Lighter construction without sacrificing opacity.

Weight: 145 GSM — light enough for all-day layering in Indian heat. Not so light it loses structure under a shirt.

Colour treatment: HighIQ dye system — engineered for wash fastness. Colours stay saturated across 50+ washes in hard water.

Surface finish: BIO-washed — enzyme treatment removes short protruding fibres. Smooth from day one. Significantly reduced pilling over time.

Dimensional stability: Panels pre-washed before cutting and stitching. Shrinkage happens in the factory. The size you order is the size it stays.

Thread: Coats® Astra™ SSP — staple-spun polyester for seam strength. Smooth against skin. Holds across repeated cold washes.

Wash Care

Machine wash cold

Do not wring

Line dry

Do not dry clean

Cold machine wash — 30°C, low RPM, as MicroModal® holds shape and softness without hot water.
Mild detergent only and No bleach, as weakens the fibre and dulls the colour, Line dry in shade.
No dryer. No dry cleaning.
Cool iron only if needed. Modal is sensitive to heat, so it usually doesn't need it.

Why is this different?

Fit and Construction

Most vests fit one body. Not yours.

We graded this differently — intentional room where Indian men actually need it, structured where it matters, hip-cover length that stays put whether tucked or not.

Length

Hip-cover — sits below the waistband. Stays down when you move or reach. Works tucked under a formal shirt or untucked with casual trousers.
Silhouette

Straight body-hugging cut — relaxed through hip and belly, structured at chest. Doesn't pull or bunch under a shirt.
Neckline

Deep round-neck with self-fabric binding. Sits low enough to stay hidden under most buttoned shirts. For open-collar or round-neck tee wear, it may be visible — consider Alabaster White for the best blend under light fabrics.
Armhole

Wide armhole design — prevents pinching and shoulder restriction. Maximises airflow under the arm for India's climate.
Finish

Coats® Astra™ SSP thread throughout. Lightweight taffeta wash label — no scratching by afternoon. Silicone brand label at hem.
Visibility Guide

The vest has a deep round-neck design — it stays hidden under most buttoned formal and casual shirts.

How to wear it?

DAILY WEAR

Under a Shirt

Deep neck and hip-cover length sit cleanly under formal and casual shirts.

TRADITIONAL WEAR

Under a Kurta

Works as a base layer. Wicks sweat so the kurta stays dry and clean.

HOME & LOUNGE

Standalone at Home

Modal softness + considered cut — doesn't look like an undershirt when worn alone.

LOUNGE & SLEEP

Lounge & Sleep

Lightweight, taffeta label, no irritation. Cool enough for Indian nights.

FAQ:

Yes, and it holds up well as a standalone at home or for a casual day out. The cut and fabric are considered enough that it doesn't look like an undershirt when worn alone. That said, it's designed first as an innerwear layer, so it's not a gym vest or a going-out piece. Think: comfortable, relaxed, Sunday morning energy.

Yes. Add any 2 Men’s Vest to your cart and get ₹100 off. Add any 3 and get ₹200 off. The discount applies automatically, no code needed.

Yes, we stock from S through to the plus sizes up to 3XL, all in the same fabric and with the same level of care in construction. The fit is graded properly across the range, so the proportions work regardless of which size you're in.

Yes. The fabric has a moisture-wicking finish applied over the fabric base so it absorbs sweat and dries quickly, rather than staying damp. You won't get that heavy, clingy feeling that happens with unfinished cotton after an hour outside.

Use the size chart or Size Calculator on the product page. The size chart is based on your chest measurement. For a more accurate recommendation, enter your height, weight, and body type in the Size Calculator, and it will suggest the size that's most likely to fit you well. If you're between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend going one size up.

You can refer to our size chart or use the size calculator to find your best fit. The vest is designed keeping Indian body proportions in mind.

That's the whole point. The Mellow™ fabric is soft from the first wear,not the kind that needs three washes to break in. It moves with you,it doesn't feel heavier as the day goes on. People tend to forget they're wearing it.

Yes. The Tencel MicroModal® is naturally smooth, it doesn't have the rough texture that can aggravate sensitive skin. The dyes are Azo-free, with no harmful chemical compounds. If you react to synthetic fabrics, this natural-fibre blend should be fine —but everyone's skin is different.

We are using certified Tencel MicroModal® from Lenzing, made from sustainably grown beech tree pulp using a closed-loop process where water and chemicals are recycled rather than released. It's also biodegradable. Not perfect on every dimension, but genuinely more considered than standard synthetic or cotton blends. The packaging is plastic-free too, brown paper, nothing extra.

MicroModal® is a soft, breathable fibre made from beech tree pulp. It feels noticeably smoother than regular cotton against your skin, stays cool in warm weather, and holds up well wash after wash. The version we use — Tencel™ MicroModal® — is one of the more premium variants of the fibre, made by Lenzing who is considered a global leader in production of sustainable fibers. This is what makes the Mellow™ Vest feel different from a standard baniyan — softer, lighter, and more comfortable to wear all day.

The fabric is 52% combed cotton and 48% Tencel™ MicroModal® and both halves matter. The MicroModal® is made from beech tree pulp, twice as soft as standard cotton, naturally breathable, and gives the vest its silky-smooth feel. The combed cotton where short, rough fibres are removed before spinning adds structure, durability, and shape retention. It's what stops the vest from feeling too delicate or clingy over time. The panels are pre-washed before stitching, so it doesn't shrink or lose shape after washing. And the cut is graded for Indian proportions relaxed through the hip and belly, structured at the chest not adapted from a Western fit chart.

Fair question. This one does it differently: MicroModal® fabric blended with combed cotton, pre-washed for shape retention, HighIQ dyes for colour fastness, Coats® threads for seam quality. You're paying for the things you don't notice until a cheaper vest reminds you of them. If that's not worth it to you, no hard feelings. If it is, you'll probably order again.

No. The vest is made with a lightweight, breathable fabric and a deep-neck design, making it easy to wear discreetly under most shirts and kurtas. The smooth fit helps it stay hidden while providing all-day comfort and sweat absorption.

It sits close without squeezing, relaxed around the hip and belly, with enough structure at the chest that it doesn't bunch under a shirt.

It's unlikely. The fabric is BIO-washed before finishing — a process that removes the short, loose surface fibres that cause pilling in the first place. Wash cold and gentle, and the surface should stay smooth for a long time.

The moisture-wicking finish pulls sweat away from skin and helps it disperse rather than pool which reduces the chance of visible wet patches on your outer shirt. For white shirts specifically, the Terracotta and Stone colourways will show less than a pure white vest underneath, since darker colours don't create contrast through thin fabrics.

No. The fabric uses HighIQ dyes, chosen specifically for colour fastness. Just line-dry in shade rather than direct sun, and it'll stay that way.
