Vest397/6 b

Man’s vest, made from narrow vertical strips of hand woven, ‘rustic,’ dark-red wool textile that have been sewn together edge to edge; the strips have been cut and shaped to fit closely at the shoulders and flare out at the hem. The vest (front and back) is overlaid from shoulders to the waist with a patchwork of plain gold-thread textile and gold brocade with floral motifs in red and pink with green foliage. An 11 cm wide strip of a more finely woven dark red wool textile extends from the front edge of each arms eye, continues over the shoulders and down the back of the vest to about waist level. A 23.5 cm wide strip of the same finely woven dark red textile, folded lengthwise in half, has been applied at the centre front edges and extends around the neck to form a high collar; this strip is longer on the right side than on the left. A piece of bright red cotton broadcloth has been loosely tacked over this strip, leaving a section on the lower right uncovered. No closures. Voluminous. Unlined.
