This man's waistcoat features a straight hem that falls just below the natural waist. The front of the waistcoat is adorned with light blue silk satin, embroidered with chainstitch floral sprigs and floral vines running along the center front opening and on the welt pockets. It has rounded lapels and two pockets. The waistcoat is designed in a double-breasted style, with two rows of four self-fabric-covered buttons adorning the front. The back and lining of the waistcoat are made from plain-woven cotton. To ensure a comfortable fit, there are four twill tape ties on the back that allow for fit adjustments.
