| - Man's waistcoat, 1790s, French; Buff-coloured broadcloth, embroidered coloured silks, altered 1870-1900 (en)
- Man's waistcoat with a 1-inch (2.5 cm) standing collar, welted pockets, straight fronts and hems, hip length. The fronts, collar, pocket welts and revers are made of buff-coloured woollen broadcloth, the back of fustian. The waistcoat is lined with fustian, the pockets with linen. It is embroidered-to-shape with silk floss in red, blue, white and shades of green, in a pattern of moths, butterflies and flowers, on the fronts, collar and pocket welts. There are 11 worked buttonholes along the left front and 11 embroidered buttons on the right front edge.
The waistcoat was altered in the 19th century, probably for theatre costume; a wide triangle of linen was inserted into the centre-back seam, and 2 pairs of linen tape ties sewn to the back. (en)
