Here is the finished 18th century waistcoat for my son, that he got to wear for the first time a couple of weeks ago in Colonial Williamsburg, modeled with the new ruffled shirt I sewed for him.
My son outgrew last year’s blue waistcoat with buff lining, so he requested a new blue waistcoat with white lining.
It’s made with period accurate fabric, 100% linen, and completely hand sewn.
The Colonial Williamsburg tailors gave me lots of tips! As a result, I am absolutely delighted at how well this version lays so nicely.
