Wesket for sale


Dorian Lasseter

Recommended Posts

I have a wesket that was professionally sewn (machine) for me several years ago but not finished, no button holes or buttons.

Dated 1730-50s pattern, not period material for the outer layer, cotton muslin inner. Fully functional pockets. slightly musty from being hung in the back of a closet for a couple years...

Size 42-44

Asking $90, obo or, maybe a trade for something...

its spelled weskit

Actually it is "waistcoat" but spell it anyway you want. Spelling was not standardized in the early 18th century. Regional accents have be reconstructed using the phonetic spellings of the time.

Indeed it is spelled "waistcoat", and often, (but not always) pronounced "weskit"....

Or perhaps gunwale... which I always imagine to be something resembling Shamu dressed like Rambo...

But somehow I think we've strayed from the point...
