The Timeless Silk Barathea 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 gorgeous silk barathea. Known for its rich, deep luster, barathea silk has a relatively matte appearance that is given the slightest gleam because of its lightly pebbled surface. The result is a subtle glimmer that cannot be achieved by any other fabric. Our barathea silk is the finest in the world, and for a perfect complement of comparable quality, be sure to pair this cummerbund with one of our barathea bow ties.

This cummerbund is also fully adjustable. To help you achieve the trim, close fit typical of Black Tie, the waist of this cummerbund automatically adjusts to your size thanks to our elastic inserts. Whether sitting, standing, walking, or dancing, this cummerbund moves with you for a secure, comfortable fit. And, with its generous panel measuring 62 cm x 15 cm, or 24.5” x 6,” at its widest point, this cummerbund will also fully cover your waistband and prevent your shirt from poking out in an unsightly way

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.
