	Waistcoat -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A waistcoat is a sleeveless garment which buttons in the front and is cut from the same material as the rest of the suit.
		During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, waistcoats were often incredibly elaborate and brightly-coloured, even garish, until fashion dictated in the late nineteenth century that waistcoats be the same colour as the rest of a man's suit.
		Some of the last professions where a waistcoat was de rigeur were banking, law, governmental agencies, and the professoriate, as a waistcoat typically added an element of maturity, stability, and gravitas to its wearer.

		By the beginning of the eighteenth century, the parts of the waistcoat that were hidden beneath the coat were made from cheaper fabrics, such as linen, wool, or fustian, a mixture of cotton and linen.
		By the 1720s, the waistcoat was evolving into a sleeveless garment and as the century wore on, it shrank in length from mid-thigh to waist level.

	The Ruben's Man \| Waistcoats \| Embroidered
		The waistcoats worn by the middle and upper classes often had a cheaper fabric for lining and back, as only the front portion would be seen from under the top coats.
		The waistcoats worn by the middle and upper classes did not have lacing/venting in the back or sides as they could afford to have another waistcoat made when one became too soiled or small.
		Hence it was logical for the waistcoat to have lacing that began way up at the top of the back and ran down to the hem for adjusting size.

	Thomas Jefferson's Under Waistcoat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Under waistcoats were worn by men of all economic status as a middle layer of clothing during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
		When the waistcoat was new it would have been part of a larger suit of clothing, possibly including a longer white woolen under waistcoat (also in Monticello's collection).
		These changes possibly altered the waistcoat so that later in life Jefferson could wear it underneath a shorter, newer-style waistcoat, which was perhaps not as warm as he wanted.

	Canku Ota - June 17, 2000 - Rain-in-the-Face's Waistcoat Found in Museum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Museum acquired the waistcoat in 1892, together with other Native American artifacts, one of them being the Ghostshirt, which was returned in the summer of 1999.
		It has been suggested that the waistcoat be kept in Scotland, for educational purposes, but to want to keep this for the sole purpose of educating the citizens of Glasgow and its visitors is, we feel, to take a very selfish stand.
		It is now only to be hoped that our case for repatriation is strong enough to convince the subcommittee that the waistcoat should be returned to Marcella Lebeau, her extended family, and the Lakota Nation and that when we all meet again, on September 12th this year, that will be their decision.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ephod
		The ephod is a kind of garment mentioned in the O.T., which differed according to its use by the high-priest, by other persons present at religious services, or as the object of idolatrous worship.
		Supplementing the data contained in the Bible with those gleaned from Josephus and the Egyptian monuments, we may distinguish in the ephod three parts: a kind of waistcoat or bodice, two shoulder-pieces, and a girdle.
		The first of these pieces constituted the main part of the ephod; it is described by some as being an oblong piece of cloth bound round the body under the arms and reaching as far as the waist.

		Waistcoat can be pronounced either to reflect both parts of the compound, as WAIST-KOT, which is a spelling pronunciation, or WES-kit, which is the way waistcoat was originally pronounced, and still is pronounced by a good many people both in this hemisphere and abroad.
