Vintage from the 19th century
Size: 38 in
Materials: silk, embroidery, silk thread
Chest size: 38 in

Expertly hand embroidered silk wedding vest/waistcoat is in very good condition, especially considering its age which is dated between 1820-1840. Vest has original silk backing which is a rich chocolate brown, though it is missing the belt in the back which usually fits the vest to its wearer. The buttons are finely woven and threaded with silk and there is even a name inked on the front inside panel "B. Cameron" as far as I can tell. Vest is in very good condition, some very slight fraying on the embroidery and on a small spot on the shoulder. Vest has been signed in a sepia ink on the inside; it says B.Cameron as far as I can tell.

In the 1840s, a colorful, embroidered waistcoat was a fashionable item in a groom’s attire. The waistcoat was occasionally worked by the bride, and presented as a wedding gift to the groom.

Vintage garments have been previously worn and lovingly cared for, they may however have a blemish or two. Here at MadelonVintage, I try my very best to note all the details of each garment, although I may sometimes overlook things, which I do apologise for. Please do not expect perfection, unless stated so.

Please make sure you check all the measurements of the garment before purchasing. Vintage garment sizes are not the same as those of today. To ensure the best fit, I suggest you measure you favourite similar style garment and compare it to the measurements listed. All measurements are taken whilst the garment is lying flat, we then double these measurements to reflect the actual size.

The quality is very nice, made in the US, the denim is think and feels like it is strong. I like the high waist a lot. I do wish I had noticed the leg room a little more. I prefer wide leg, but it doesn’t really bother me. Other than that I give this shop a 10/10!!
