1960s–1970s | Welsh Tapestry Liner Waistcoat - 12

Description: Item: Vintage 1960s–1970s Welsh tapestry liner waistcoat with a deep V front, bound edges and two rounded patch pockets to the lower front. Traditional woven tapestry cloth with a compact, structured feel and a strong all-over geometric repeat, giving it that distinctive practical-meets-decorative look these older Welsh pieces carry so well. Easy sleeveless cut that works well layered, with enough shape to hold its own as a standalone piece. Era: 1960s–1970s Brand: Not stated Condition: Very good vintage condition. Presents well with light, honest wear consistent with age and use. The weave and bound edges remain strong overall with no obvious major issues visible from the image. Provenance Note: These Welsh tapestry waistcoats are appealing because they come from a very specific design tradition rather than just borrowing the look. The strength is in the cloth itself: dense woven pattern, practical cut, and that recognisable balance between utility and decoration. Pieces like this work well now because they add texture, history and shape in one go, whether layered over a shirt or used to break up a simpler outfit. A good, honest example of the sort of British textile piece people buy because it has real identity and does not feel replaceable by something modern. Measurements: Size on garment: N/A Our modern sizing estimate: 12 Shoulders: 14" Bust: 38" Waist at garment: 42" Inner sleeve: S/S Nape to hem: 25" Condition Notes: Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed. Sizing Notes: Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit. Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale: UK 6 (30–31") UK 8 (32–33") UK 10 (34–35") UK 12 (36–37") UK 14 (38–39") UK 16 (40–41") UK 18 (42–43") UK 20 (44–45") For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
