This vest is made of two different fabrics, one material for the front and another for the back, and has a strap with a buckle on its back.The artefact was donated by Mr. Lim Tiong Guan, whose maternal grandparents moved from Qingmen, Taiwan to Singapore in the first half of the 20th century. His grandfather came to Singapore as a teenager and later owned a remittance business in Xiamen, China and a sugar-trading business in Singapore. As the family were quite affluent, they were able to own various imported goods.
