In the present study, we define a new subclass of $ q $-close-to-convex functions associated with a vertical strip domain within the framework of $ q $- calculus. For functions belonging to this class, sharp upper bounds for the initial Taylor Maclaurin coefficients are established. The analysis is carried out by employing the principle of subordination together with properties of functions with a positive real part. Several coefficient inequalities are obtained, thereby extending and refining the known results for classical close-to-convex functions and their $ q $-analogues.
