- 100% Luxurious Italian Silk Moire - Very rare and hard to find - Adjustable with Elastic inserts for added comfort - Made by hand - Shipped in Fort Belvedere gift box
Traditionally, the waistband of trousers was always covered, which is especially true for a tuxedo. Basically, you have two options: a vest or a cummerbund. Note, it's not an option to go without either of them, it's one or the other unless you wear a double-breasted tuxedo, then you can go without. However, all single-breasted tuxedos and dinner jackets need a cummerbund or vest.
This Fort Belvedere Black Moiré Cummerbund was designed to match the silk of the bow tie.
You will not find a better black bow tie in silk Moiré anywhere else!
Silk Moire Cummerbund in Black
In keeping with the formality of Black Tie, the waistband of your trousers and its various utilitarian features, such as suspender buttons or side adjusters, should be hidden from view. One can achieve this by wearing a fully-buttoned double-breasted dinner jacket or a formal evening waistcoat, but the most popular option today is to wear a 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.
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.
Cummerbund Style Tips
Outside of the traditions of certain clubs and military organizations, the cummerbund is always worn with the pleats facing upwards. You may find this easier to remember with the silly pneumonic that your cummerbund should be oriented like a “crumb catcher.”
This cummerbund features an elastic loop that should be secured to the button of your trousers. Doing so will securely hold the cummerbund in its proper position and ensure that it does not ride up as you move.
To be in keeping with Classic style conventions, your bow tie should be made from the same fabric as your cummerbund. You should also wear a boutonniere, with a rose or carnation being the most traditional for an evening ensemble. All of these accessories, and more, are available from Fort Belvedere.
What makes this cummerbund so special?
Unique Silk Moire Luster. With a mystical shimmer comparable to watered silk, this moire has a special luster that is perfectly set off by its matte repp surface. Ideal for someone who wants to add a special touch to their Black Tie ensemble, this superb material is favored by stylish gentlemen who enjoy standing out. Our moire 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 moire bow ties.
Handmade. The superior materials of this cummerbund are attentively assembled by master craftsmen, working entirely by hand to craft the best possible accessory. Features of this artisanal construction include a special cotton interlining, which dramatically improves the structure and fit of this cummerbund.
Designed by Connoisseurs for Connoisseurs. Having worn countless cummerbunds and never being satisfied with them, Sven Raphael Schneider, the founder of Fort Belvedere, decided to design his own inspired by timeless, Classic style but with the benefit of modern improvements. Featuring a comfortable but secure closure and a flexible belt while maintaining its positioning, we had to go through several prototypes, but now, Fort Belvedere is proud to share our perfect cummerbund with you.
Ideal for all Black Tie Occasions. Whether needed for professional attire as a waiter, musician, or conductor, or for social occasions like a wedding or gala, the cummerbund is the most versatile Black-Tie waist-covering accessory, and every stylish gentleman should own at least one.
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
How to Store Your Cummerbund
When not being worn, store your cummerbund flat with the belt extended or folded behind the silk panel. If possible, avoid folding or compressing the silk panel to reduce wrinkling. To preserve the unique luster of your cummerbund, do not store it in direct sunlight.

Featuring sturdy magnetic closures, this box features our iconic shade of forest green and displays the Fort Belvedere crest on the lid.
