Combination White Waistcoat and Braces |
|
|
|
AS the title suggests... Conjectured date is 1930s for no better reason than that I believe that backless waistcoats only began to come into common use in the 1920s and presumably it would take some time for variations on a theme to develop. In "as found" condition, I hope to "do them up" into a wearable state at some point, although they will need the addition of a back strap as well as buttons sewn on the rear brace portions to fix them together. |
