Announcement 12 April 2012 from Jackie Wills

After 22 years of making waistcoats I have decided to stop in order to concentrate on other aspects of my design business. This has been a hard and emotional decision to make.

Please be assured that I am still designing/creating/writing/teaching/selling my work but NOT waistcoats.

There are waistcoats in stock that I am keen to sell. Happy to accept any sensible offers, particularly for multi purchases. Ideal stock for a shop? Look out for bargains on Ebay > Thejaxcollection.

I am not saying I will never ever ever make another waistcoat …..but for the time being I am stopping........................

A big thank you to all owners of my unique waistcoats for your custom.

Jackie Wills

Re: Waistcoat 134.  VOGUE magazine (UK) asked me to create a floral & chintz waistcoat for a photo shoot.  The request from VOGUE sent me on a whole new design direction. I subsequently created a small collection of vintage floral chintz patchwork waistcoats.
