New wool houndstooth double breasted morning waistcoat size 40 4053
A vintage quality English woven wool houndstooth 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 British wool with a bemberg back and lining. It also includes cotton Marcella slips.
