This is a place for any extant garments in private collections from about 1941 back. There is no beginning date. The only rule is that it can't be currently in a museum and must be before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I mostly post items I've seen on ebay, etsy, or other auction sites so we will continue to have a record of them for research purposes. If you have antique clothing in your collection, please, email me pictures of them and I will gladly add them to this site.

Late 18th Century/Early 19th Century Men's Fringed Silk Waistcoat
From the seller:
Circa late 1700-early 1800, a man's cream silk waistcoat with embroidery. Colors and embroidery are very nice with fine floral and leaf sprays.
Item Measurements:
22" down the front..10 1/2" across front silk panel on each side.
Item condition:
In mainly good strong condition,but there are scattered breaks in the silk,buttons have some silk but embroidery has wear.All items we list need to be cleaned.
From Me:
My guess is late 1790's based on the cut and the embroidery detail (Scarlet Pimpernel anyone?).
An earlier style waistcoat with fringed silk
Another earlier styled fringed silk waistcoat
Overall, the fringed silk is pretty rare. I'm surprised to see this one up on ebay.
