A handsome vintage shawl collar morning or evening dress waistcoat, double - breasted with a deep (c.3") shawl collar and 6 MoP buttons. Three jetted pockets. This fine waistcoat is cut for wear with high-cut morning or evening dress trousers and would look equally well with day formal dress - under a frock coat, say, or as a component of Victorian/Edwardian white tie evening dress. A very rare shape, classic Edwardian design.

Rare combination white evening dress waistcoat and braces by London city shirtmakers Rendell & Son of Gracechurch St. Cleverly designed, the waistcoat amends the classic backless waistcoat design so that the waistcoat facings become elasticated straps which then button together to form x-back braces, the ends of which button, via adjustable nickel-plated steel runners, onto the back brace buttons of a pair of evening dress trousers, whilst four button loops on the inside front of the waistcoat serve the same office in relation to the front brace buttons. [May still be available - please check with me directly]

As ever, happy to offer a 10% FSP discount to forum members, plus generous combined postage discounts. This is in addition to any BIN discount mentioned on the listing!
