John Richmond Man Waistcoat

Item

1

Leather waistcoat with a rounded, high neckline that gives the garment the look of a top instead of a classic waistcoat. Waistcoat fastens with a zip that runs the length of the front from the hem to the neck. Garment is comprised of multiple panels. The front is predominantly silver, with a panel either side of the zip that measures 14cm at the widest point and runs from the neckline to the hem. Adjacent to the silver panels as you move towards the side seams are narrower, gold panels which measure just short of 3cm. There is a slight curve in both of these panels, mirroring the cut of the waistcoat and how it might sit on the body when worn. The remainder of the front is made from black leather. On these black leather panels, approximately 8cm from the hem, are four poppers, two on each side. In-between each of these poppers is a dart which is 18.5cm in length, ending at the hem. The back of the waistcoat is made from a black, satin fabric. A seam runs the length of the back. The lining of the waistcoat is made from this same fabric.
