Welcome! This page is still being built with the waistcoats currently available. If you cannot see anything that takes your fancy, please Contact Me with your requirements. Also coming soon will be samples of fabric, mostly vintage, that can be made up to a style and size of your choosing.
Customers own fabric made up in a variety of styles to suit individual tastes. Please contact me for a quotation.
I also cater for wedding parties so waistcoats can be made to compliment the wedding gown and bridesmaids dresses, with the added extra of matching cravats, ties, handkerchiefs. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
Lots more to come and I'll update every few days, so keep checking. Until then, here is a glimpse:
VINTAGE COLLECTION:
These are traditionally styled waistcoats with pocket flaps,
plain backs and adjustable buckle straps. They are all made with fronts from genuine vintage fabric, and all are limited in numbers. Close-ups of fabric are available on request. PRICE SHOWN INCLUDES P&P.
Please see notes at bottom of page re: sizes.
THE NOT SO OLD COLLECTION!
These waistcoats are all made with fronts of fabric 1991 to 1995, in exactly the same style as the Vintage Collection.
FITTING;
All waistcoats shown are made buttoning for men, but look just as good on women! A word of caution though for well-busted ladies - in order to wear these waistcoats successfully they would need darts adding to armholes. Please contact me if you feel you may need this service, for which there is a small additional charge of £1.00. Although these waistcoats are made without darts, the adjustable strap at the back does mean that the waist can be nipped in; but anyone requiring a more contour-fitting garment should consider having a bespoke one. Please contact me for details.
SIZING:
TO FIT CHEST (with 2" allowance for movement)
XL: 44"
LARGE: 42"
MEDIUM: 40"
SMALL: 38"

The back length on all the above is approximately 20.5"; Medium and above are 24.5" down front from shoulder to point and smaller sizes are 24". Those with a long back should consider having a bespoke waistcoat. Detailed measurements of any waistcoat shown can be given on request. Please use the contact me page.

Returns
