Vintage Highway Brown Suede Waistcoat, Made in England, Button Front Vest with Contrast Stitching and Back Half Belt
Description
A lovely vintage suede waistcoat by Highway Suede & Leatherwear, made in England in a warm chestnut brown.
The waistcoat features a deep rounded neckline, five brown front buttons and curved panel seams that give the shape a gently fitted appearance. Cream contrast stitching outlines the neckline, front edges and hem, with a matching detail on the fixed half belt at the back.
The textured suede and earthy colour make this an easy layering piece for autumn, with a seventies-inspired look that works beautifully with denim, printed shirts and flowing skirts.
