This short, neat waistcoat lends any outfit a smart tailored look. The textured ‘cloque’ stitch pattern combined with the wide contrast welts can be set off wonderfully by the style and colour of button you choose to finish with. It is made slightly looser than the average close-fitting vintage knit so it can be worn over a blouse or T-shirt.
