A very rare vintage 1940s machine-knitted waistcoat, made in Scotland from a fine all wool yarn in a soft green colour with scalloped edging in off white. It has a V neck with revers, classic pointed hem, & a single patch pocket with false flap; the front fastens with 6 white early plastic buttons with a floral design.
