This is a piece worn by a fashionablegentleman under a vest or gilet, and it adds a touch of style to the bust area. It features unusual embroidery. The neck area is designed to be fitted with a detachable collar with glue, so it's basically a collarless garment. There's a loop at the back of the neck for a tie.
The buttonholes below the buttons are for fastening them to the bottom.
The buttons were replaced for a more stylish look, so originally both buttons were buttonholes, but now I've added buttons for easier use. Please remove them if you don't need them.
There is a slight stain near the hem.
Unlike today, back then peoplewould wearthe same clothes for a long time, carefully repairing them as they went along.
