White silk wedding waistcoats patterned with silver thread were popular in the 1840s and 1850s. The expensive metal threads made the fabric suitable for special occasions and silver, which has connotations of purity, was associated with weddings. John Montefiore, a London merchant trading in the West Indies, wore the waistcoat for his marriage to Julia Norman.
