Man’s waistcoat with a round neckline, curving fronts and skirts reaching to the top of the thigh. Each front has a pocket and pointed pocket flap. The fronts and pocket flaps are made of white silk satin, the back of cream glazed worsted. The waistcoat fronts, pockets and pocket flaps are lined with linen; the front skirt linings and facings are white silk satin. The waistcoat is embroidered-to-shape with silver spangles, glass pastes and silk floss in shades of pink, green, blue and brown, in pattern of flowers, on the pocket flaps, below the pockets and around the front neck, edges and hems. There are 9 worked buttonholes along the left front, with 12 embroidered buttons on the right front. The waistcoat was altered in the 19th century, probably for fancy dress. Most of the back was cut away and replaced.
