Time-Period British Style Red Golf Club Waistcoat w/ 'M' Stitching on Collar - Ladies Cut
Here is a British style golf club waistcoat that is nearly a century old, featuring an 'M' embroidered on each collar. It is wool and primarily red with a green collar and cuffs, brass buttons and a label that is only partially legible. The manufacturer appears to be named 'Dark & Gordon' in its name, as well as 'Ladies Tailor 26 West 31st St' written below. The 'Dark' is mostly illegible, therefore is under speculation. It is in fair condition, with insect damage, mostly on the inside of the coat. There is lining loss, and it measures 22" from collar to bottom of coat. Uncommon it is to find early examples of red coats from Great Britain and from a golf club. This piece will come with a signed letter from Historian Bob Denney of the PGA, proclaiming that this item comes from their collection.
