we interrupt your regularly scheduled program to talk about

Late 1890s Waistcoats

---

Believe it or not, men's waistcoats actually have changed throughout the years, and the waistcoats that were worn in the late 1890s are really quite different from the modern waistcoat worn today. So, if you are ever planning on dressing up as a newsie, there are a few things to keep in mind that, while they may seem minor, can add more authenticity to any costume/cosplay.

There are three major details to pay attention to.

First, waistcoats in the 1890s were comparatively shorter than the waistcoats of today. They generally fell just an inch or two below the natural waist or the slimmest part of the torso. You would never or very rarely see a waistcoat extending to or below the hips.

Second, the arms eyes (arm holes) of the waistcoat were very tightly fitted. Modern waistcoats commonly have larger arms eyes to allow for greater size range.

You'll notice that the costumes of both versions of Newsies have done a very good job on these details:

Third, waistcoats for daywear in the 1890s were generally cut very high up at the neck. Necklines did dip lower depending on the purpose of the waistcoat, for example evening wear dipped very low to show off the starched shirt front beneath, but the newsies would not have had particularly low cut waistcoats.

In the 1992 movie, Pulitzer wears one of these evening wear waistcoats. Compare to Denton's below, which is much more typical of daywear:

Denton's waistcoat is also an example of the notched collar/lapel which was quite common in the late 19th century.

Waistcoats could have a variety of collars, or no collar at all. A very fashionable collar, particularly in 1899, was the peaked lapel or step roll collar, which looked like this:

Be careful with this one, as modern peaked lapels tend to take after the 1920s style which is a little more streamlined and should be avoided.

A third common collar type in the 1890s was the shawl collar:

Taking all this into consideration, it is actually quite easy to turn a modern waistcoat into a late 1890s waistcoat. In order to achieve a shorter length, tighter arms eyes, and a higher neckline, you can simply take up the shoulder seam of any waistcoat for a more historical look.

It's that easy! Not taking into account fabrics and patterns, your modern waistcoat is just one alteration away from being the waistcoat of a newsie in 1899!

UNFORTUNATE NEWS

Hello fansies! I am greatly aware that halloween is nearing and a lot of you might (?) be excited to sell newspapers (or not, it's not mandatory) on halloween! But unfortunately as im the one working on the designs, and I am the one that started it I have to say that it's canceled. Due to problems with my personal life, school work, and my mental health not being in the right mindset the past few months. I am really sorry if this disappointed you! But this does not mean you can't dress up as a newsie on halloween, go ahead and have fun! yours truly, @scottyzoomz

Second, is anybody in Ohio doing this? I don't really know anyone in my area who is a fansie, so just let me know if youre in the state of Ohio lol
