Unlined waistcoat?


Rats

Recommended Posts

I have some very nice wool which should hold a good raw edge...

I'm wondering about how common--er would be an unlined waistcoat??

Sure it wouldn't be a hassle to throw a linen liner in there. But having seen nice jackets with the raw edge, I'm wondering just how common an unlined waistcoat might be????

Cheers!

Shouldn't be a problem Rats. There are odd extant examples of unlined clothes from the period, and of course they are mentioned in the ASC specs. Also, in the Haycock slop shop inventory many of the items are described as "lined", while many are not - take that as you will.

Thanks Fox!

I did notice you had sported a very sharp unlined jacket! Which got me thinking more along those lines. However with the waistcoat, folks usually like a lining....

However I was just wondering about the fraying by the armpits and such.

And as pockets go, I suppose I would just let the pockets hang in the inside also??? Or no pockets at all???

Thanks again!
