Union Jack Waistcoat and Bowtie - Waistcoat with Union Jack Print and Matching Bowtie - King's Coronation, VE Day, Jubilee, Britain Fancy Dress Costume

I always wanted a patriotic outfit to wear on national occasions and so finally treated myself to one. Given the low price for this waistcoat and bowtie, I was a little apprehensive about the quality and durability of this outfit but anyway placed my order.The package arrived quickly. The garment was protected inside a ziploc plastic bag with a sliding zipper. Opening up, the waistcoat was carefully folded around a paper tissue liner. That was encouraging. Opening up the jacket I can only say... it's great! It's made from polyester. The back half is thin, as anticipated, and looks perfectly OK. The front that has the Union Jack on it is much thicker and feels very pleasant. Upon admiring myself in the mirror, I was delighted. For a modest sum I had just the look I was seeking.For regular clothes I am size XL or XXL. To be on the safe side I chose size XXXL for my Union Jack outfit. The fit was perfect for me, not at all loose, so you may wish to go one size up compared to usual.Overall, I am feeling delighted with this purchase.

I did not expect a high fashion item for the price. I ordered a large, I have a 41" chest and the fit was only slightly large around the chest but nothing crazy. There was quite a bit of room for me to add a few more inches to my stomach if required. As mentioned I did not expect a high fashion item but it will do what I want and it should last if treated with care as the stitching is not the best. 4 stars for what you get for the price.

Looked good for one use but faded completely on a gentle machine wash. We only needed it for one occasion so it didn't really matter for us but I'd recommend hand washing only. It's fairly lightweight but the price was good.

Great product for the price. The back is plain blue satin-like material. The printed front is a decent quality cotton (see pic). I followed the advice of other buyers and ordered a couple of sizes bigger - that was my mistake! I am a 42-44” chest and the XXL measures 18” across the shoulder (see pic). XL would have been fine. Hope this helps.

Very poor qualityMild all over the itemRipped along seams

Really surprised by the quality its better than I expected, Definitely by one size bigger than you are. I am a 42-44 large but purchased x large and it was a perfect fit. My wife is a 8/10 small got her a medium and again a perfect fit.

Very nice light weight waistcoat, for ‘dressing up’ very good for for parties, celebrations, and Royal Events. The only thing I would say is get at least one size up as the sizing is small, other people had mentioned about the sizing and they were right so I actually went 2 sizes up and am very pleased with the result. The price was very reasonable so all round very pleased.
