Waistcoats - From the Hopkins Collection

Waistcoats from the Hopkins Collection features 160 waistcoats from c.1720 to c.1950, ranging from special occasion fashion to every day use. It is the second book in a series focusing on particular groups of objects. A few of the included examples were never finished or have been unpicked in the past. The waistcoats are shown with close-up details of their shape, construction, and decoration, alongside contemporary images that illustrate how they were worn at the time. 

The authors, Alan and Vanessa Hopkins, have been collecting historical clothing, textiles and accessories in the United Kingdom for more than forty years.
