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 usually are at least 2 sizes 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
