Scope and content
Waistcoat with leopard print. The base colour is a khaki/light green, with one mid shade brown and a dark brown making the leopard print. The front fastens with five buttons, embossed with Junior Gaultier branding. There is a small welt pocket on each side, with a dart down to the hem from the centre of each pocket. The sides of the front panel wrap around to form straps that buckle on the back waist, and are top stitched to the back panel. The back panel runs straight down from the shoulder. The lining is printed with the same print in a slightly lighter shade. Made in Italy
