Sleevless Waistcoat for sale


Recommended Posts

OK... maybe I should try Pat Hands new system. Or for all you who think I am just a nay sayer here is your chance to strike back..... B)

I saw this listed at another forum, but I think it is a good price for what it is

(the other forum is http://frontierfolk.net/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/index.php )

The description is

Brown Irish Linen sleeveless waistcoat lined in natural linen with tarnished pewter buttons. Size 40-42”. 100% hand-sewn with linen thread. This waistcoat has a nice patina that is 100% honest wear.

He is asking $120

I would PAT RATE this as a 4/4

I can't tell the quality of workmanship as I can't handle it, but it seems to be very well made and of appropriate materials. I give it 4 authenticity stars as I believe that this coat cut and style place it a little past the GAoP. If it had more buttons down the front, it might get a 4.5.

His email is (REPLACE *AT* with @) waltei*AT*btsd.k12.wi.us

It reminds me of this photo from Foxe's site

Very nice. It looks like the edges of the armscyes are prick stitched too. Nice touch... Lovely piece. If I didn't make 'em, I'd buy it!
