Civilian Shawl Collar Vest
TSM-732

 

         Men would rarely be seen in public, in their shirtsleeves, they usually wore a vest over any shirt.  Much like women’s underpinnings, men’s shirts were considered underwear and it was considered impolite to be seen in just a shirt.  Vests also provided an additional layer of clothing as protection against the cold. This pattern is for a shawl-collared vest that has a mid-level opening.  Depending on the fabric chosen, this style of vest would have been worn from the early 1850’s through the late 70’s and mid 80’s.  The vest has two welt-pockets towards the waist line.  The collar of the vest can be made of the same fabric as the vest front or of a contrasting fabric.  The back of the vest is straight across and designed to come even with the waistband of the trousers.  The back is fitted, using shallow darts and a belt.  If a more utilitarian vest is desired, the pattern can be made up without the collar.
