Gentleman’s Matching Waistcoat and Jacket

This matching waistcoat and jacket is said to have belonged to Prince Charles Edward Stuart popularly known as ‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’. The garments were purchased at specialist auction of Jacobite relics in Inverness in 1929. There is no documentary evidence for their connections to the Prince, but they are of a date and style that he may have worn at Court while in exile in Italy, where he died in 1788.
