介绍（中）	18世纪和19世纪的外衣和背心在一段时尚时期起到了保护和装饰的作用，当时外衣的正面是敞开的。这种颜色通常被选择来补充西装，并覆盖着富有想象力的刺绣、厚重的编织图案或闪亮的缎面，以吸引眼球。颈部、长度和下摆处理的风格随着品味的变化而变化，从18世纪初的大号大衣到18世纪末及以后的窄紧身大衣这件闪闪发光的背心在最初的状态下会很华丽，很可能是为最正式的场合保留的，可能是出庭或正式的高级仪式。此外，它最初是一种非常昂贵的购买，因为它完全由金属线编织而成，而金属线本身就更难操作，成本也更高。成品服装的优雅之美表明了它在任何男人衣橱中的重要性。
介绍（英）	Waistcoats and vests of the 18th and 19th centuries served as a layer protection and ornamentation during a period in fashion when the coat was intended to be left open in the front. The color was often chosen to complement the suit and covered in imaginative embroideries, heavily woven patterns or shiny satins made to draw the eye. The style of the neck, the length and the hem treatment fluctuated as the tastes changed from over-sized coats of the early 18th century to narrow tightly fitted coats of the late 18th century and onward. This shimmering waistcoat would have been magnificent in its original condition and likely have been reserved for the most formal occasions, possibly a court appearance or an official high ceremony. In addition, it would originally have been a very expensive purchase since it is woven entirely out of metallic threads, which were inherently more difficult to manipulate and costly. The elegant beauty of the finished garment shows the importance it would have held in any man's wardrobe.
