1990s | Savage | Leather Waistcoat | Brown - 8

Description:

Item:
1990s leather waistcoat in warm brown with classic button-front closure and angled front pockets. Finished with a vivid orange satin lining that gives the piece a strong contrast and a bit of visual punch when worn open. Traditional waistcoat cut with a slightly tailored body and clean V-front, designed to sit neatly over shirts or lightweight knits.

Era:
1990s

Brand:
Savage

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Leather remains soft with natural grain and light wear consistent with age. Small mark to the rear as noted, along with light general wear that adds character typical of vintage leather pieces. Lining is clean and intact with no structural issues.

Provenance Note:
Leather waistcoats like this became a staple layering piece through the late twentieth century, drawing on both Western and classic tailoring influences. The rich brown leather paired with the striking orange lining gives it real presence while still being easy to wear. Pieces like this work brilliantly layered over shirts, denim or dresses, making them one of those versatile vintage items that always earns its place in a wardrobe.

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