The waistcoat consists of four halves. The front halves were sewn from woollen cloth and lined with black silk, the back - from black silk, unlined. The waistcoat has pleats with a soft line, without indentations, which widen in the lower part, forming a semi-circular (teardrop) shape. A decorative silk lining is sewn under the lapels, which can be seen when the lapels are folded back. There are pockets without flaps at the front (at waist level). Black cotton cord edging is sewn onto the edges of the lapels, front halves and pockets. The waistcoat is fastened with three haberdashery buttons made of metal covered in a weave consisting of a three-dimensional pattern of small squares placed parallel to each other. All buttons, placed on the left field, have feet. On the right field, there are three holes trimmed with metal thread. At the back, there is a waist belt sewn in silk with a metal buckle. Construction fabric has been placed inside the front halves (between the dress fabric and the silk lining).
