Behind the design
The V&A records this British silk waistcoat as part of a Teddy Boy outfit and dates it to the mid 1950s. Its maker is unknown. The museum identifies the waistcoat’s material as black and pink silk; the shirt and other display elements visible in the photograph are not part of this catalogue record.
