Man’s waistcoat with a round neck, curving 2-piece sleeves, curved fronts and skirts reaching to the top of the knee. Each front has a pocket and shaped pocket flap. The fronts, back skirts, pocket flaps and cuffs are made of brown silk cut and uncut velvet on a voided ivory satin ground; the sleeves and back of brown woollen broadcloth. The waistcoat, sleeves and pockets are lined with unbleached linen; the front facings and linings of the skirts, pocket flaps and cuffs are brown silk twill. The fronts, back skirts and cuffs are woven-to-shape in a pattern of flowers, leaves and undulating ribbon against a ground of repeating ogee shapes, along the front edges and hems, cuff and centre-back openings. There are 14 worked buttonholes along the left front edge and 1 on each cuff. There were 14 (5 now missing) corresponding buttons covered with brown silk thread on the right front and 1 on each cuff. The waistcoat was altered for size, probably during the lifetime of the wearer; insertions of brown cotton velvet were made in the side seams, and grey broadcloth in the sleeves.
