A vintage quality linen morning waistcoat copied from a 1930's bespoke day waistcoat. We make these to vintage standards, so there is no glue or ' interfusing' like everyone else is doing, instead a fine canvas layer. In keeping with this the waistcoat features a continuous neckband ( tradition dictates that a neckband signifies an outerwear garment and so removing your tailcoat is not technically 'wrong' in sartorial rules. The adjuster buckle is original NOS 1920's pronged type like all old waistcoats had and the buttons have a proper shank on them to improve the look and ease of fastening. In addition we have added button preparation for waistcoat slips*

 In keeping with the vintage buying experience we have made all items unique. This particular item is made of linen with a striped 100% cotton shirting lining and a satin finish cotton back, reminiscent of the glazed satin cottons that were used circa 1880-1920. This backing contains a small amount of man made fabric for a bit of stretch. Breathable and comfortable to wear.

 Please be aware that the item our linen waistcoats, unless ironed professionally will always show creasing and texture. These new waistcoats are all handmade individually and have not been cleaned, they may have small traces of tailors chalk but this will come out with a sponge or in the first dry clean. 

The DB waistcoats due to their nature may not sit completely flat at the front on all bodies. If this is the case and you want yhe lapels to sit flat you may want to move the central retaining button or the main buttons, with a tailor,
