Above detail from RM commission - October 2009

see customer comment & further images below

"First, the fit : absolutely right. The length, front and armholes etc. are just perfect.  Secondly, the design: I waited until J got home, before I undid it and tried it on and we were both bowled over. We both thought that the design, artwork and execution are even better than the first one and I cannot tell you how chuffed I am with the end result.

I am really sorry that my pernicketiness (if there is such a word!) has led to so much work on your part - you must have had times of regretting the commission!

Suffice to say - thank you so much for spending so much time, effort and patience in producing such a spectacular garment - I shall wear it with pride and great pleasure.

I now have to think of another theme (if you will ever accept another commission from me!!).

Many, many thanks for such a wonderful waistcoat / piece of art."

and now for a very different waistcoat - this is a commission - the theme requested was Dolphins of Knossos - and is now being worn by Prof. Charles Lyman in Florida.....  "Lissa said I looked handsome, so I wore it to the opening of the Chinese show at the photo museum which Lissa ( and I ) helped found in the last few years. It was generally admired, and one of the principals said he could always rely on my wearing something special. ( Florida Museum for the Photographic Arts, if you care to google it)"

I am thinking of writing a book about waistcoats I have created over the years.  If you have a Jackie Wills waistcoat and would like to tell your story - why you bought it, how often you wear it etc etc... or perhaps you have not purchased a waistcoat but would like to make some general comments - would be great to hear from you.
