19th Century’s Popular Waistcoats

#ThrowbackThursdays
In stark contrast to modern waistcoats, the extant waistcoats of the period between 1860 and 1900 featured a narrow collar stand, grown on or made out of an additional piece. This sewing pattern portrays the grown-on collar. It comes with all pockets, two chest pockets and two hips—all made as welt pockets, typical of the 19th century method.
