DescriptionPart of a man's wedding kroj, a green vest edged in salmon fabric and cording. There are two kinds of cording; one is red and metallic silver, and the other is a winding silver cording. A line of tiny beads strung into scallops runs around the bottom edge of the vest and continues around the center of the back, which is decorated with floral embroidery that is framed with the winding silver cording and silver leaves. Three pink pearl buttons are affixed across the bottom center. Both kinds of cording and a line of sequins decorate either side of the vest's front side. A white, ruffled ribbon runs down either side of the front opening, along with sequins.Credit LineGift of Eileen and the late Josef Mandát of Scarborough, Ontario, Canada
