Dearle Reversible Waistcoat

Lightly quilted blue cotton waistcoat features a print inspired by John Henry Dearle’s famous ‘Seaweed’ design, created for Morris & Co around 1890. Dearle was a key figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, carrying on William Morris’s legacy with his intricate botanical patterns. The design was later reprinted by Arthur Sanderson & Sons in the mid-20th century, reflecting the enduring appeal of Morris & Co’s nature-inspired textiles. This waistcoat features a relaxed fit in green, blue and white, reversing to a blue and white bud print. It has coconut shell button fastening down the front and crosshatch topstitching along the front panel opening. Finished with contrasting floral piping at the seams, two front patch pockets, and side splits.
