1980s | S.B. Peter | Tirolean Wool Waistcoat | Blue - 22

Description:

Item:
Vintage 1980s S.B. Peter Tirolean waistcoat in blue wool with contrasting light trim, button front and a neat sleeveless cut. Clean traditional shape with a slightly structured feel, finished with a small embroidered alpine motif to the lower front that gives it that classic Austrian and Bavarian folkwear character. An easy layering piece with a simple, practical line and just enough decorative detail.

Era:
1980s

Brand:
S.B. Peter

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Presents well with light, honest wear consistent with age and use. The wool remains strong and the embroidery is clean and intact overall.

Provenance Note:
This is the sort of waistcoat that works because it stays true to its roots. The appeal is in the traditional Tirolean format: solid wool cloth, neat contrast trim, straightforward cut and that small embroidered alpine detail that places it properly without overloading it. Pieces like this are useful because they add texture and regional character very easily, whether worn over a shirt or used to break up a simpler outfit. It feels like a genuine folkwear piece rather than a fashion version borrowing the look, and that is what gives it lasting appeal.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
