1950s Vintage Victorian Style Chinese Purple Silk Brocade Waistcoat
Stunning Vintage V-neck pinky purple silk brocade waistcoat with collar and 4 Pockets. It’s so damned lush and very much of a Victorian steampunk style. This one has had some alterations made to it but expertly done, the back has been replaced completely in burgundy red fabric. I suspect to make it fit a larger chap, they did not include another adjuster waist belt so it is what it is.
- 4 front pockets with flaps.
- Notch collar.
- 5 pearlescent buttons.
- Burgundy replacement back.
- No back strap.
MEASURES - edge to edge:
- 42" chest
- 41" waist
- 9” side length
- 13" across shoulders
- 20" back length
Very nice condition, the alteration has been done well. The buttonholes are a little worn but nothing to worry about. Overall this is a rather lovely waistcoat.
SIZING
Vintage sizing is very different to modern day sizes, they’re usually smaller depending on the era of manufacture. So to ensure a good fit please go by the measurements provided. I measure the garment laid flat edge to absolute edge then double, which give the maximum, you will need to measure your own clothes to compare sizing.
To compare measurements with sizes click the pink side tab on the right of the screen.
