| - Man's waistcoat, 1750s, British; ivory silk, woven-to-shape with silk and metal thread, Spitalfields, altered 1870-1910 (en)
- Man’s waistcoat with a round neckline, curving fronts and skirts reaching to between the middle and top of the thigh. Each front has a pocket and shaped pocket flap. The fronts and pocket flaps are made of ivory silk taffeta. The pockets and pocket flaps are lined with ivory silk twill. The waistcoat is brocaded-to-shape with coloured silk floss, silver thread, frisé and strip, and silver-gilt strip, in a pattern of flowers and pineapples on a ribbon border, with a ground of repeating floral trails, along the front edges and hems and on the pocket flaps. There are 13 worked buttonholes along the left front with 13 silver-gilt passementerie buttons on the right front.
The waistcoat was altered in the 19th century, probably for fancy dress. The back skirts were removed, part of the right front and back were replaced with cotton twill and the waistcoat relined with cotton twill. (en)
