This is a vintage John Virgo, the Black Ball Collection by Piscador waistcoat, size XL. It has a 6 button front closure with 2 front pockets. The front is beautifully decorated as shown in the photographs. The back is a velvet type material with an elasticated band as shown in the photograph. The only fabric label inside states 100 Acetate, and I don't know if this relates to the whole item or just the lining. It is dry clean only and made in England. The length from the back neck is approximately 25" and the chest size is approximately 46". It is in perfect condition.
