    “Back” Waistcoats

    Hi all, I recently got this nice waistcoat from Walker Slater: https://www.walkerslater.com/edward-tweed-back-waistcoat As someone who doesn’t wear suit jackets I much prefer my waistcoats to have a regular cloth / non-shiny back like this one. I’m having trouble locating alternatives to...

    Vintage evening waistcoats for white tie in London

    Help dating a backless DB morning waistcoat

    Hi all, Does anyone have any ideas about this waistcoat? It's backless, so must be post-1923 (though I think it's probably much later than that anyway), it has what looks like would have originally been four buttons for a slip (only one remains) and the buckle reads 'SOLIDE'. Thanks!
