Description


A striking vintage waistcoat from the prestigious London tailoring house Neal & Palmer, located at 11 Piccadilly Arcade, London SW1. This piece features an iconic Union Jack flag design rendered in 100% silk, with the classic British colour palette of navy blue, red, and cream arranged in the distinctive cross pattern.



The waistcoat is constructed with meticulous tailoring typical of Jermyn Street craftsmanship. It features five button fastenings down the front and is cut to sit elegantly over the torso. The silk fabric has a subtle sheen and drapes with the refined quality expected from a premium London tailor.



Condition Notes


This is a pre-owned piece showing signs of vintage wear consistent with age and use. The silk retains good colour vibrancy. Minor creasing visible in the fabric, typical of stored silk garments. All buttons are intact and functional. The internal lining shows age-appropriate patina. No significant tears or damage observed, though the piece would benefit from professional dry cleaning to refresh the fabric and remove storage creases.



Neal & Palmer represents quintessential British tailoring heritage, and this Union Jack waistcoat is a distinctive statement piece perfect for vintage fashion enthusiasts, collectors of British menswear, or anyone seeking a bold, patriotic formal accent. The 100% silk construction and London-made provenance make this a quality investment piece.
