Cordite Waistcoat
An old world-inspired waistcoat, complete with a woven looking stitch pattern, fitted shaping, and fully functional buttoning on both sides of the body. Worked in pieces from the bottom up, the vest has slipped stitch edges to make seaming a cinch. I-cord is applied around all exposed edges
for a clean, finished look.
It will keep your gentleman looking polished on even the most epic of adventures!
