| Three classic vest/waistcoat patterns - I will be making Burda 7799. |
 |
| A unisex pattern - loose fitting vest with trim variations |
My father would like a vest, actually a waistcoat with lapels. So for a long time now we have both kept an eye out for suitable remnants and a pattern. The 'perfect' remnant has remained unfound but I have bought two patterns that would fit him - the Lincraft unisex vest and the Burda men's waistcoat. The other two patterns are too small for him.
I've made the Lincraft view B as my trial garment using black sunsilky lining and a grey pinstripe fabric. Light as a feather to wear but too short said my father.

| The completed vest. |
Another vest, using the same pattern is now completed, with the front and back pieces lengthened by 6cm each.
 |
| Stretch cotton backing, lining - something slinky |

Completed vest owned and modelled by my Father
- notice the pattern lines up on each side. |
