So, I'm going to look at two of the antique waistcoats in my collection, both from around the turn of the century, to see two ways of managing this garment. The first is a summer waistcoat, so it has no internal layers and all quick machine stitching. The second is a formal style meant to be worn with a tail coat, so it has canvas on the interior and a lot more hand-stitching.
