50s Men's Vest Vintage Waistcoat Gold Red Black 60s Metallic Holiday Festive M/L VFG
This festive vintage waistcoat with metallic accents would be a great special occasion look, on its own over a shirt or just peeking out from underneath a classic suit jacket! Styled with a shawl collar, gently fitted to conform to the body, cropped to end a little below waist level. Horizontally positioned bound hand warmer pockets.

FABRIC/COLORS: Medium weight black faille with woven-in lines of gold lame and red satin threads. The vest is backed with taupe colored satin and fully lined in the same fabric.
TAGS: No tags
CLOSURES: Five small embossed gold metal buttons down the front.
CONDITION: I see a 2 or three small snags of the red and metallic threads - see closeup for example. In the same closeup, you might be able to see a small "spot" of subtle lightening - there are three or four of these in that general area and they're difficult to see unless you're looking closely.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
