1980s Vintage Nico Striped Waistcoat Size 38/R (Small)



A striking vintage waistcoat by Nico, featuring a richly coloured striped design that immediately catches the eye. The front is woven in vibrant tones of mustard yellow, burnt orange, deep red and green, creating a bold, almost tapestry-like effect with a subtle sheen that elevates the whole piece. Cut in a classic tailored silhouette, it fastens with five ornate buttons down the front and is finished with two neat front pockets. The deep brown acetate lining and back panel add a beautiful contrast, while the adjustable back strap allows for a more fitted, refined shape when worn. The fabric has a smooth yet slightly textured feel, giving it structure without stiffness, and the overall construction feels high quality throughout. It’s one of those pieces that can transform a simple outfit — perfect layered over a shirt for a smart vintage look, or styled more casually for a relaxed, eclectic edge. In very good condition and appears barely worn.

    At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat as the diagrams show below and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)

     

    We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture.  Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.

     

    We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
