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 pointed pocket flap. The fronts, back skirts and pocket flaps are made of green silk satin brocaded with silver and silver-gilt filé and frisé, and silk floss in white and shades of green and pink, in a pattern of flowers, fruits and leaves. The back is ivory figured silk. The waistcoat is lined with fustian, the pockets with linen; the skirt and pocket-flap linings and front facings are ivory figured silk. There are 16 buttonholes embroidered with silver-gilt along the left front edge with 12 buttons covered with silver filé, pink and white silk thread on the right front. The fronts are heavily pieced, indicating that the waistcoat has been made over from an earlier garment.
