An exceptional, highly detailed piece of early 20th-century formalwear. This Edwardian vest is crafted from a heavy, beautifully textured white cotton pique with a prominent corded waffle-weave pattern. Designed with a timeless tailored silhouette, it features classic notched lapels, two lower front welt pockets, and one upper chest pocket. A standout feature of this piece is the complete set of five original, matching milk-white molded glass/porcelain shank buttons. They feature a decorative molded basketweave texture on the face to perfectly complement the fabric. True to the period, these are formal stud buttons, held in place via wire loops through stitched eyelets on the inner placket so they can be easily removed for laundering and heavy starching. The back is fully self-backed in durable white cotton drill fabric and features a traditional adjustable martingale cinch strap with an antique stamped-metal two-tine slide buckle that pierces the fabric to lock your fit Perfect for serious vintage collectors, historical reenactors, or high-end Edwardian/1920s Gatsby styling
