It is a perfect fit and well made. Very impressed. I will definitely buy more from this company

Didn't expect the reaction I got, co- workers wanted to know the source of my purchase.

I needed a green vest to match my shirts. This vest fits the bill, comfortable, durable, and fits well. Received compliments from the first time I wore it

GREAT FOR DRESSING UP YOUR ATTIRE.

I bought this for every day use and very happy with it. The fit is perfect and the fabric is a good quality. I'm looking forward for more items.

None!

I got this as the replacement of the one that I got a decade ago. I love the old one, and it looks like the new one will work just as well! The old one, by the way, wore and frayed in a way that looks REALLY good!

I'm 6'4 and other regular vests were a little short. This tall size vest fit great.

playing a role from the 1890s

Great Fit.

The craftsmanship is superb!! I was very impressed with the overall construction and look. So many times when I order big and tall items I'm disappointed. Not with this vest, sizing guide was dead on. Thank you Historical Emporium, you will have me as a customer again!!

I am a pastor and occasionally I have an opportunity to do a service that requires a vintage Parsons outfit. I'm going to be speaking at the 100th anniversary of the Easter sunrise service at a famous rock in my city that has been used by traveling preachers since 1837. My other vest was getting a little too tight so I needed a bigger one.

This vest is definitely made with care! Durable and functional for any occasion!

I wear that vest two or three times a week. The upper pocket is for my monocle.

Very good canvas material and well stitched... Seems durable. I use the items that I buy from Historical Emporium for everyday wear and having access to canvas pants and vests at reasonable prices is very nice. Shipping is fast and customer service is THE best I have delt with lately.... I cannot express how happy I am overall with Customer Service for Historical Emporium. The only small drawback is that sometimes the sizes I want are out of stock at the time I want to order. I have checked back at a later date and been able to find the sizes I want, so I would advise others to be patient and check back.

No occasion. I just saw it and wanted it. My first objective was a dress vest to wear at Christmas time to replace the one my mother made for me a hundred years ago, which I had outgrown. My son purchased it from you for my Christmas gift. In my search I came across this one and liked it.

I'm a tall guy and a big guy , and have always had problems finding vests that I am comfortable in and that even look like they fit. They almost always feel to short in length and there is always too much space between the bottom of the vest and the waist of my pants . I bought this vest in the 3XT , and even though they were a special order and took a few days longer to get , when it arrived it fit PERFECTLY .

My usual style is Western wear, but hard to find quality inTall sizes. When I checked some shirts offered by Historical Emporium, the ones I liked didn't come in a Tall size, so I emailed to complain.They said they do offer some in Tall, so I looked again and found this gem of a vest. Looks way better than the online photo!

Fits perfectly and is a showpiece.

Casual but business. Very appropriate, very satisfied.

Long range silhouette shooting

Great price in comparison to others. Love the look. Would recommend.

Vest looks great, fits perfectly. Purchased vest to wear under a jean jacket.

Sturdy and good-looking. I like a vest that doesn't cheap out on the back material.

VERY NICE! I VERY EXCITE!

Great looking vest. Fits just right. Price was good, quality is good, shipping time was outstanding.

After 2 year of dressing casually at work I decided to dress it up a bit. And this vest was just what I was looking for. Also Everything was as described and delivered on time :)

Very pleased with my purchase. My first order from this site, and I am impressed with the material and workmanship. I would not hesitate to shop here again.

Have as a Christmas gift t my hubby. He was pleased

First, I buy these vests for work - as the title suggests. I wear vests often for the warmth without the sleeve constriction of a full Carhartt jacket. We live on a horse farm and could well have a good number of outdoor chores and repairs any given week that would require freedom of movement. This is a good made vest. I was disappointed when I opened the package and noticed immediately that it was not a Wah-Maker brand. This vest was replacing a ten year old Wah-Maker that has finally given up it's seams and button holes. Thankfully, it seems cut from the same pattern with stout canvas as the Wah-Maker - so it fits like my old vest. A very good thing. The buttons though are not metal like the Wah-Maker - time will tell if these plastic buttons will hold up. Good pocket depth.

No occasion. Just thought I would start gathering my western attire. I wore to church and everyone really like it. The only problem I have is that, I measured wrong and I chose my usual size(XL, when I should had chosen 2XL). It doesn't go over my belly, but that's ok, because I can wear it unbuttoned. The bow tie fits great. I want to build a complete western outfit, but I'll have to do it one piece at a time. I would like to get a pair of cowboy boots next or maybe a couple of shirts(Bib styles). Then, I'll work on getting a couple pairs of pants. At least, that's the plan. I'm very happy and glad I found this store. I check this site often and add items to my wish list. Keep up the good work.

This has become a favorite for my husband. Although what he really wanted was this same vest without the lapels. But he's still a happy guy.

Wear it at work alternating between this and an apron, fits well and protects my shirt and people like my style.

Excellent quality and fit! I've always liked old west clothing, I used the vest on Sunday church service and I had very good complements. I will definitely buy again from this vendor.

Vest was of a good quality and workmanship. Due to my not needing it because the Trousers didn't fit I returned the vest.

Not a bad vest. Not something you'd wear to a wedding. A work vest. Heavy, strong cotton. Durable. Looks a lot neater and formal in the pic.

Great product. Received it very quickly. Always great customer service.

Great product. Received it very quickly. Always great customer service.

This vest is spot on. Had to workout an exchange because I needed a tall - MEASURE THE LENGTH! You'll save yourself the trouble. Once I got this vest though I was sold. The quality is great. Nice solid canvas with a beautiful texture. It's already starting to soften and bend more easily with some wear. The buttons and back strap are all super solid. It's just super well constructed, great fabric quality, excellent fit. I'll be back for more. This is exactly what I was looking for. Great quality at a great price. Thanks!!

Great Vest

Great looking vestments, I am sure glad I found these!. I reccomend this to anyone who loves wearing blue jeans casual, I knew how good this thing is going to look, just as soon as I saw, and touched it, I haven't seen much of any other clothing offered anywhere else this good. Check the sizing, but it's fully recommended. Thnx.

Really like the material and workmanship of the vest. Couldn't be happier. In all likelihood I will be ordering again from Historical Emporium. They have the things I like.

I really like this vest and plan to use it when the weather warms and stays warm to complete my casual/dress up look. Either with jeans and a casual shirt or with a dress shirt, tie and dress slacks.

Had to return for size change but quality was great!

I hardly over get to say this but it is larger in the chest area. Well constructed and looks good.

This vest is well made! I will be using to work outside even though it looks too good for that. I will be using it during the winter months. Everything I have purchased from here to wear has been well made!

Awesome, western cloths for a party down in Texas. Everthing felt and looked authentic.

I wear this vest for every day wear . No occasion , just life .

Historical Society museum event.Railroad worker. Educating visitors on a Burlington Northern 1914 caboose. Explaining the functions and purpose of the caboose and crew. I've discovered that dressing in period clothing commands more attentive listening and positive feedback.

After receiving our first order, we immediately ordered again! Great company, great customer service, and the quality of the product was outstanding! We will be back for more!!!!

beautiful and fits great

I love this vest! It is very well made and the fabric is durable. The tie in the back makes it cench attractively at the waist.

Quality-made vest with attention to detail. I use this vest as part of my show outfit for Western Dressage.

This is a very well cut vest and very flattering on. The canvas material is high quality and it is constructed extremely well. The metal buttons are also of quality and are very attractive. They definitely add to the look of the vest. I can't wait to wear this! I'm a women's size 2 or 4 and I bought the small. Love it!!!

Just got the Ladies classic canvas vest in black - and it fits very well! Well made, sturdy, and a nice fitted shape with the back belt tied. I am a size 14-16, and the size 40 is a perfect fit for me. Will wear it with both my Dickens Faire costume and my Edwardian walking skirt!

Nice style, great fit, good quality. Would definite order again.

This vest is very well made, a lovely fabric, and a perfect fit. I'll be back for more!

Very nice quality and it fit beautifully!!! I got so many compliments on the whole outfit!!

Good quality. Fits well.

Nice vest. Good quality.

The canvas vest fits perfectly. Looks great on me. I love it!

I love the canvas material. Perfect for a vest. Fit is very good. I like the look and have had many compliments.

everyday where-how i dress

I wear it when I'm working in the warehouse and I want a good looking way to protect my shirt, looks great I like it.

I am 6'1" medium build. I ordered the XL Tall. Fits perfectly. Good that it has an adjustment buckle in the back as I am slim waisted and cinched it up so it has a nice tapered look. My vest was made in Guatemala, so I am good enough with that. USA would be better, but what are ya gonna do?

I've a wardrobe for my reenactments and speaking on my war between the states persona. After being invited to participate in a Wild West event I needed a few items to adjust the look. My other vests are coat and tie ones, I needed a working man's look, this is exactly what I wanted and needed. The event isn't until the end of October and I'll be submitting photos then.

This vest goes well with the gray trousers and gives me the look I wanted in the way of a slimlined look for myself. Thanks, Historical Emporium!

This is a sturdy well made garment. It is great for working around the property when a jacket is to much and a sweater is too delicate for the job at hand. Size seems to run a wee bit small, but may loosen up after some wear and a wash.

Once again, great items and first rate customer service, coming through when my horrible local post failed me. I have bought from them before and will continue to do so again.

Great match with the Brewster frock jacket .... stepping back in time at monthly Virginia City activities ....

Already have the Brush Cotton Sack Coat so I knew the matching vest was going to be perfect, Good fit for me, I like the four pockets.

My husband loves his new vest. The brushed cotton is a very heavy quality material. The vest's short waist makes it very comfortable for daily wear.

I am very happy with my purchase. The vest was top-quality, looked great and I wore it as part of a Halloween western get-up. But I think I will be wearing it all the time now!

I ordered size XL since I wear 46R coat. The vest fits very nicely and looks real good. Quality is outstanding and the service, including packaging, was excellent. I'm very happy with the purchase.

This is my wedding outfit, period accurate because I am getting married in an 1870 Stage and Pony Express stop. Very excited.

Quality was fantastic and arrived very quickly. Exactly what I was looking for.

Of very high quality and enjoyed by most those who I've shown it to, bound to be a show stealer this Halloween!

Surprised at the heavy weight cotton, less akin to costume wear, more like every day work vest. Buttons are large and tight but will probably loosen up over time.

This vest was a birthday gift as I recently returned in-person to my office job. I’ve always loved dressing up for work, but this (incredibly comfortable and durable) vest has elevated my style game to an entirely new level!!! Everything it’s advertised to be and more!

These Livingston Brushed Vest are always a winner. My actor needed two(2)in Black. Vests were in stock and fit perfect. Thanks to the adjustment strap on back of vest. Always a great feature and so very helpful.

All of the items I have received have met or been above expectation. The only issue is this particular vest is too short for my frame. But I do like the style and quality of it! Respectfully, Nathaniel Branch

I ordered a vest, and I was EXTREMELY happy with the product I received. It was shipped VERY quickly, and it was very high quality. I would absolutely order again from them!

I like the look, but I haven't worn it yet, I belong to an Old West Fast Draw Association. Will wear it when I compete.

Will be wearing to my grandson's wedding. Will be the most stylish grandpa there !!!

Needed a vest for Point Fermin Lighthouse event - this was perfect fit and construction. Replaced the buttons with US Lighthouse originals. A+ product and service form Historical Emporium.

Great for dressing up summer clothing!

This is the perfect everyday vest, I had to get the extra large and I’m glad I did. It fits me perfectly in the pecs and tapers nicely at the waist utilizing the strap in the back to tighten the look. XL fit best, I’m 5’11 broad shouldered at 220. Quality dense fabric gives this an authentic look of a Wild West/Victorian working vest.

Historical Emporium has a knack of having a the most unique line of fashionable cloths on the planet. The Abilene vest is one of them. A very well made vest and it looks great. It lends itself to bringing a little class to any function you attend. Personally, I prefer natural fibers with the same backing as the front, longer "tall" versions and front-peaks, and wish that these features be extended throughout many of their lines, but the straight cut work vest also has its place. I highly recommend this vest to anyone who wants to improve their appearance and reputation.

I have decided in my old age to wear vests every chance I get. I bought this one to have a navy blue vest. The quality is excellent. The fit is true to size. I have worn it twice now out into the world and have received many compliments. Highly recommend.

A perfect waistcoat for everyday wear, and also for wearing with a kilt. Nice tailoring, fits well, and is very comfortable. Not quite as stiff as the similar canvas vests (which soften with wearing), a bit lighter, and just a little more formal. Colours go well with many of the shirts available trough Historic Emporium. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

The item is lovely, I've been wearing it quite a lot in fact. The color of the item was a bit darker in Real Life than it is on the Picture but it doesn't matter much to me. I still love it. and I still love the quality this store gives

Great vest, but it's a bit hard to iron the old fashioned way. The pockets make it great for organizing all that crap in your pocket. Watch out for guys who are 44 or 46, as they could go L or XL. I got the tight one, but it helps my back.

Nice vest, well built, good fit. I have had lots of compliments, thanks

The vests are amazing great quality and fit. Compliments galore!

Nice fit, good looking, hope to order more items in future.

I originally purchased this vest as part of a Victorian outfit to wear at a special occasion, but I like it so much that it's become a regular part of my wardrobe.

i saw 5 years ago on the internet the historical emporium page, iwas really impressed,the clothing are very nice, very well made respecting theVictorian era.........ipersonally wear just the cotton vests, because iwear denim every day, but those vest are very well made, excellent cut .fabric and so on........even with denim those vests look totally togheter with jeans, cusual but elegant!!!!!i hope more man they will start to wear vests again like in the past...when the man's were elegant!!!!!!

Daily public wear. Can't stand ball caps, camouflage, tactical, tattoos, blue hair, male earrings, torn/shredded jeans, sports wear, or suit styles that 100 million others wear.

Just love it.

Very spiffy. Took two tries to get the size right but it went smooth.

Nice quality , sizing was on point, very happy

I couldn't believe how fast Historical Emporium mailed this to me..... I am so pleased with the Color and quality of this Vest. Everyone at work just fell in love with the dark red color.

I was very pleased and satisfied when the merchandise arrived.

I bought this for my friend and he absolutely loves it. Well made and great color. Third vest I’ve purchased And every one of them are extremely well made and colors are great

Love all 3 of my vests

when you get to the larger sizes, it is sometimes hard to find clothes that fit. well so far everything we have ordered through here has fit. and look great on. this vest is well made and could be worn in everyday life.

I love this vest. The material and workmanship are all first class. The fit was true to size and the adjustment strap in the back kept it snug around my middle. Highly recommended and yes, I would buy it again.

Really nice vest, I will wear it for our Golden Days celebration in late July.

Could not be happier with this vest. Very good quality and the sizing chart worked perfectly. Have purchased a number of items and all have been terrific. Can't wait to wear them out.

Perfect fit and tailoring. Lovely material, very fancy.
