Description

Early Nineteenth Century Silk, linen, metal NHHC 1967-332-A Headquarters Artifact Collection, Naval History and Heritage Command

In the eighteenth and nineteenth century, a waistcoat was a required garment for any properly dressed man. This early nineteenth century example was cut from a fabric featuring silver metallic thread and pink silk floral ornament. The lavish waistcoat is believed to have been owned by Admiral Horatio Nelson.

The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England also owns a waistcoat worn by Admiral Nelson: collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/71279.html
