GenuineVintage Black Double Breasted Wool Waistcoat Offered for auction and with no reserve is a striking vintage hand tailored collared wool waistcoat with “butcher’s stripe” lining. In amazing condition for its age the waistcoat features a hidden button to ensure a snug fit to the body. In fact it is so wearable that I originally purchased this for period film work but alas it was a tad too large for me. It would be still ideal for period re-enactment, film, theatre or indeed as a museum / collectors piece. The back of the waistcoat is black satin type fabric and features an adjustable buckle. Unfortunately I do not have any form of provenance/history to accompany the piece but I would dearly love to learn more if anyone out there could offer more information. Approximate dimensions are: Top of collar to bottom extremity at front = 20” Armpit to armpit = 20” I would be of course happy to send more photos if required. International enquiries are welcome but please contact me before the end of the auction to get a precise quote on shipping to your destination. Wishing you the very best of luck with your bids. I have just noticed that the name 'Norman' is lightly written just under the nape of the neck on the '' butcher's stripe'' lining. This of course can not be seen when wearing the waistcoat- just wanted to update read more
