A new waistcoat
A new waistcoat
A present from my son and his fiancè, a rather fine moleskin waistcoat, lovely and comfy but why does everything need to be dry clean only these days?

Re: A new waistcoat
Very nice indeed Paul...
Funnily enough I got a super waistcoat in blue and a rather lovely if not slightly camp floral shirt from the “Lovely One”.....pub wear rather than bankside methinks!

Really? That’s interesting, any idea why? I’ve been showing my ignorance all these years....Penninelad wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2017 1:57 pm Remember "a Gentleman" always leaves the bottom button undone!

Edward VII started it, when he got a bit portly he couldn't do up his bottom button and was copied by others.Scott wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2017 8:44 amReally? That’s interesting, any idea why?

It also takes the strain off the thread which holds the button on when seated, particularly if the waistcoat is a little tight in that region!
