Part of Westminster Menswear Archive
Jerkin made from heavy brown leather. The jerkin is sleeveless and has a high, rounded neckline. It is front fastening with four large, brown buttons down the front. The buttonholes themselves have stitching around the opening for added reinforcement. The hemline is lower at the front than at the back, coming together at a point at the opening. Towards the hemline on the right side and near the side seam on the left side, there is evidence that the garment has been pieced. The fabric at the hem and outer seams has been folded under and topstitched. On the inside, the jerkin is lined with khaki wool fabric. Under the arms on each side, triangular pieces of leather have been stitched onto the lining for reinforcement. S. Zalcman

Joseph Tricot Cable Knit Jumper with Sweatshirt Sleeves
2022.7.2 · Item · undated [1990-1999]
Part of Westminster Menswear Archive
Lightweight sweatshirt that pulls on the body over the head. The front of the sweater is in cream wool which is knitted in a cable knit pattern. The neckline is ribbed but rolls back on itself and so gives the impression of piping around the edge of the neck. The sleeves of the sweatshirt are made from a cotton jersey fabric with ribbed cuffs. The 6cm, ribbed hem of the sweatshirt is also made from the same orange, cotton, jersey fabric. The back of the sweatshirt uses the same cream wool as the front but does not uses a simple stocking stitch. Joseph Tricot
