Nine years ago, someone commissioned a top London embroidery company to make a replica of the Tailor of Gloucester's waistcoat. They must have been a big fan of the story! We'd love to know who they are and invite them to visit. Can we find them through the power of Facebook?

The Tailor of Gloucester is a Christmas story, about the tailor making a waistcoat for the Mayor to be married in on Christmas Day. In our museum we have a beautiful replica of the waistcoat. Why not come and have a look at it? Beatrix Potter was inspired by a waistcoat she saw in London's Victoria & Albert Museum - see it on the following link: https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O90046/waistcoat-unknown/
