[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 254634, member: 121"]Sorry, but the waistcoat (vest) for tails is backless to avoid showing any lumps or gathers on the back - particularly if there is no (optional) pocket in the tail, which weighs down the fabric and helps to keep it smooth. In addition this vest is too closely cut - a dress waistcoat has a much deeper V. This vest is from a lounge suit. Of course common fashions have changed since informality became the byword in the 1950s...........................but what is PROPER has not changed................[/QUOTE]
