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.

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)"

"We are finally settling down again after a wonderful wedding summer. The wedding day was beyond our expectations in its intensity and meaningfulness. The item of clothing that attracted most attention was of course the waistcoat. There I was, in my white dress (extraordinary for me to be in a pretty dress) totally eclipsed by my husand's attire!
It is truely a wonderful peice of clothing, but also a piece of art, and a piece of communication and expression. We love it."

June 2008 - Brief was to create a wacky zany crazy waistcoat using vintage, cherished and recycled fabrics - with as much texture as possible. Apparently Emma's client was thrilled.

Introducing two ways to buy Jackie Wills Waistcoats.
Waistcoats buy now page of this website can be purchased immediately using paypal. If you wish to pay by UK cheque or postal order please contact me.
For maximum internet exposure I have now added:
Waistcoats (Auctions) Gallery of waistcoats listed on Ebay. Waistcoats each have a reference number. Further images of each waistcoat can be seen using the link below:

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.

August 2009 - not always as relaxed as above!
