A man's waistcoat with round neckline, curving fronts and skirts reaching to the top of the thigh. Each front has a pocket and a shaped pocket flap. The fronts are made of black silk satin, the backs of black glazed worsted twill. The waistcoat is lined with unbleached fustian; the fronts are faced and the skirts lined with black glazed worsted twill. There are 13 worked buttonholes along the left front; there were 13 corresponding black silk thread-covered buttons along the right front (top button now missing).
The waistcoat was altered to update the style, probably during the early 1780s; the shaped pocket flap was unpicked and sewn upside down, in the manner of a welt. It was also altered for size; insertions of linen and black glazed worsted twill were made at the side and centre back seams.
