- These textiles were ethically sourced and hand picked. Note: These textiles are very old and have travelled a long distance with many stories. Often these textiles are sewn on to garments and then later taken off and used on another garment again and again. For this reason, they may show some small defects and imperfections from time and wear from their adventures. I have taken care to source pieces in very good condition, but their small imperfections are part of their journey, mystery and charm.
- The waistcoat is in excellent second-hand condition.
- Size "Men's" Large.
- Measurements: Chest/bust is 44" around, waist is 44" around, bottom edge is 44" around, shoulder to bottom edge is 24.5" long.
- CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Use a steamer to re-fresh and neutralize any bacteria or dust mites. Use a damp cloth to spot wash as necessary. If full laundering is needed, I recommend avoiding water so textile colours don't run, and dry clean only.
