Photo of a gentleman wearing a waistcoat with a white piping on the edge

[Retrospective]

Hello!

I have a 1930's waistcoat that has a white piping on the edge ("V" part of the waistcoat).
Please see the photo below for details.

After some research, I learned that this white piping is called "waistcoat slip" and there are two types of slips: a slip that is buttoned to the inside of the waistcoat opening and a slip that is directly sewn to the edge of the waistcoat.

As you can see in the photo, the waistcoat I own has a slip that is directly sewn to the edge (the latter type).
Does anyone have a photo of a gentleman wearing such a waistcoat?

I looked on the internet, but the photos I found are mostly gentlemen wearing waistcoats with "buttoned slips" (the former type).

By the way, the thread below is very informative about waistcoat slips (especially the posts by Fastuni).

Here are some Infos on the waistcoat slip (also on the button hole for a watch chain).
Not sure, but I wouldn't say the sewn in slip is much younger than the buttoned (both appear in the 20s and 30s) and your waistcoat should be before WW II. It's also hard to decide from an old picture if it's sewn or buttoned in...

Thank you Mean Eyed Matt for providing information on waistcoat slips!
I agree that it's difficult to decide from an old picture if the slip is directly sewn or buttoned in.
It's hard to explain, but I think the slip peeking out appears to be a little bit thick if it's buttoned in.
The only picture of a gentleman possibly wearing a waistcoat with a sewn slip I found so far is the picture below.

Notice that the slip peeking out is thin and the white piping is shaped like a "y" like the waistcoat I own.

Interesting seeing this come around again. This is a detail which is still around, but you'll only see it, certainly here in England, in rarefied circles. The present King I believe I've seen pictured in the popular press wearing one. Royalty might be worth looking into as a sourced of images on this from the period, actually - they tend to cling to tradition long after it's disappeared or become uneconomical for we in the Lower Orders, and they also tend to be much-photographed across the twentieth century.

These slips of course were themselves an echo of earlier times when there was actually a second, completely separate, white waistcoat worn under the top waistcoat, the edges of which would be seen peeking out. The slips as here, whether sewn on or (more effectively) buttoned on create the illusion of the second waistcoat without the need (and added weight / warmth where that might not be welcome) of a second waistcoat. I think by this point a button on slip is something you can only find bespoke, in a handful of places at that, though piping, I suppose the logical evolution of the theme, is still around in higher end places, even off the rack.
