Man’s waistcoat with a 1¾-inch standing collar (4.5 cm), revers, straight fronts and hem, hip-length, with a welted pocket on each front. The fronts, collar, revers and pocket welts are made of brown silk satin, woven-to-shape with pale purple, blue and green in a pattern of wheat-sprays on the collar, pocket welts, revers, along the front edges and hems, the rest of the fronts filled with repeating floral sprigs and semi-circles. The back is made of linen. The waistcoat and pockets are lined with linen. There are 10 worked buttonholes along the left front with 9 self-covered buttons (1 missing) on the right front. The waistcoat was altered for size in the 18th century; a triangle of linen was inserted into the centre-back seam. The linen tape ties at the back were probably added later.
