1970s Hand Painted Corset Char Vest
About the Item
Char made these pieces, by hand from approx 1968 - about 1975-76 in Mexico. Some of the best leather craftsman in the world were there at the time and the piece made are fantastic. Unusual and fantastic and in great worked in condition.
Bust: approx 16" flat across the inside back at the bottom from side to side
Waist: approx 16" flat across the inside back at the bottom from side to side
Total length: 31" from shoulder to bottom hem
The vest is unlined and closes at the front with rawhide ties corset style. There are very minor scuffs and marks normal to the age and wear of the leather it has that perfect worked in patina that tells you its original and fabulous. The leather on this one is slightly stiffer as the suede is backed in deer hide in the inside rather then being suede on both sides. It should be dry cleaned using leather cleaning techniques when cleaned again in the future.
