Each front has a pocket and pointed pocket flap.  The fronts, back skirts, pocket flaps and cuffs are made of pale yellow silk taffeta with a chequered weave; the sleeves of yellow silk satin and the back pieced with yellow silk satin and yellow silk/linen.  The waistcoat and sleeves are lined with linen twill; the skirts with ivory worsted, the linings of the pockets, pocket flaps and cuffs and front facings are ivory silk twill. The fronts are woven-to-shape with silver thread, frisé, strip and silk threads in white, black and shades of green red, pink, blue and purple, in a pattern of large flowers and leaves, along the front edges and hems. There is a seam at the waist of each front, where the woven pattern was cut, possibly to adjust for length. There are 17 worked buttonholes on a strip of the yellow taffeta under the left front edge and 1 on each cuff.  There are 17 corresponding buttons of silver passementerie on the right front, 5 below each pocket and 1 on each cuff.\r\n\r\nThe separate pocket flaps are scalloped and made of the yellow chequered silk taffeta.  Each is brocaded-to-shape with silver thread, frisé and the same coloured silks as the waistcoat.  The design is an adaptation of that on the waistcoat.  It appears that these were not used on the waistcoat, which instead has pocket flaps made of 2 pieces taken from the front border.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"Silk taffeta","id":"x34754"},{"text":"silk (textile)","id":"AAT243428"},{"text":"Worsted","id":"AAT227943"},{"text":"linen (material)","id":"AAT14069"},{"text":"silver thread","id":"x29414"}],"techniques":[{"text":"hand weaving","id":"AAT53643"},{"text":"satin weave","id":"x37324"},{"text":"brocading","id":"AAT53648"},{"text":"hand sewing","id":"AAT257459"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silk, linen, wool, silver; hand-woven, brocaded, satin weave hand-sewn","categories":[{"text":"Men's clothes","id":"THES49043"},{"text":"Formal wear","id":"THES48950"},{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"},{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Embroidery","id":"THES48960"},{"text":"Europeana Fashion Project","id":"THES265804"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2006AP4068","2019ME9665","2019ME9666","2019ME9662","2019ME9663","2019ME9664","2019ME9661","2013GB4913","2013GB4914"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"018","id":"THES310312"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"014","id":"THES310327"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"014","id":"THES310327"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Waistcoat","id":""}],[{"text":"Pocket flap","id":""}],[{"text":"Pocket flap","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Spitalfields","id":"x29420"},"association":{"text":"weaving","id":"AAT53642"},"note":""},{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1740-1749","earliest":"1740-01-01","latest":"1749-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by F.
