Fibre Mood Elba Waistcoat

Buy the Elba Waistcoat sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. Remember Fibre Mood's classic Hunter Coat pattern? Hunter was the muse for Elba. This double-breasted waistcoat has an elegant collar with lapels, shoulder pads, a slash chest pocket, and side pockets. Fully lined, Elba feels extra luxurious. And the slit at the back ensures plenty of freedom of movement. Pair Elba with the Freja Trousers or Peaches Trousers for a guaranteed showstopper. This waistcoat is bound to be an all-seasons classic – timeless with a subtle unisex feel.
