$195.00

Brand Poppy's Vintage Clothing

This is an unusual vintage long wool vest.  It looks to me to be a uniform of some sort, perhaps something that a doorman would have worn but could be worn by either gender.  This long wool vest is made of tightly woven black wool with red trim.  There is a faux pocket flap at either side.  The upper opening and the pockets are decorated with numerous brass stud-like buttons.  The vest closes at the waist with a hook and eye and there is a gold chain loop hanging from the hook, perhaps used to hang keys from?  The vest is fully lined in red fabric.

Label:  Removed, only a remnant remains. 

Fabric:  Like a worsted wool, fairly heavy so would provide some warmth

Sizing: There is no size label on this long wool vest, and although it should fit a men’s small size or a women’s medium size, please rely on the following measurements for fit, taking the thickness of wool fabric into account:

Shoulders:  16 1/2” across the top 

Chest: 38” around, taken under the arms

Waist: 33” around

Hips:  38” around

Overall length: 35”, measured flat at the back from the neck seam

Condition: This long wool vest is in very clean condition with no wear, tear, staining or odour.  

This is an interesting long wool vest - rather unique and quite striking with the brass buttons!
