Hello,
On the web site Mr. Hoover send us yesterday on another thread, I had find that nice silk supposed civilian vest :
2616
Brocade Vest
c. 1855-1860
http://www.antique-fashion.com/ and after click on the left on «*Gentlemen’s costumes*»
What I think interesting in it is the fact that it has the so-called officer collar.
I known «*officers*» collar are appropriate for civilians and soldiers during the very beginning of the 19th century but by the CW era, they are mostly seen on military vests !
Thank-you Mr. Hoover to share that site I don’t yet know.
