I am almost reluctant to sell this waistcoat - its one of the first I ever made - it represents lots and lots of handsewn work - its been worn alot - its travelled alot - but there is no use keeping it packed away where it cannot be appreciated.

sold as not washable - altho I have hand washed it before and it came out OK.
