Man's lambskin waistcoat. High-necked jerkin, opening at the side and on the shoulder. Two pockets. Ornamented with applique and embroidered simplified flowers. This simpler model has been recently altered by a black embroidered jerkin, introduced from the neighbouring district. The simple model, however, is typical of the original jerkin worn in this district. Length: 63 cm; Width round the hem: 52 cm. (Home tanned fleecy lambskin, purchased basil, cotton and silk).
