Man’s waistcoat with a round neckline, curving fronts and skirts reaching to between the top of the knee and mid-thigh. Each front has a pocket and pocket flap. The fronts, back skirts and pocket flaps are made of turquoise cut and uncut velvet on a voided satin ground, the back and pockets of blue satin worsted. The waistcoat skirts and pocket flaps are lined with blue plain weave silk. The waistcoat is woven-to-shape in a pattern of large flowers and leaves against a epeating abstract diagonal pattern, on the pocket flaps and along the front edges, hems and back skirts. There are 12 worked buttonholes along the left front; there were 18 buttons on the right front, all now missing.
The lining of the fronts, back, right front and right back skirts have been removed.
