Tweed Wool Sporting Waistcoat with Cape Kids 5 to 6 Years Homemade In Portugal

size 32 inches soulders and 30 inches length kids Short sleeveless coat with a shoulder cape (capelet). home made and bought when visiting Portugal in the late 1980s for a then 5 year old. This style points most strongly to the late Victorian to Edwardian period, roughly 1890s–1910s. The cape shoulder overlay was common in outdoor and sporting wear of that era — it helped shed rain and added warmth without restricting arm movement. Great vintage piece in great condition for it's age.
