Collection: Waist Coats

Printed waistcoats in the 18th century were a stylish and practical garment worn by men. They were often made from glazed cotton and block-printed with intricate designs. These waistcoats could be worn at home or as part of formal attire, depending on the fabric and embellishments used.

During this period, waistcoats evolved in style, with earlier versions being longer and more fitted, while later designs became shorter and more decorative. Some waistcoats featured silk embroidery on fine fabrics like Gros de Tour cream silk, adding an extra layer of sophistication.
