Great item quick delivery!!

This is a beautiful vest with nice lines. I have not worn it as often as I planned because both welt pockets are stitched in the middle, and though the description suggests they would hold a watch, the remaining gap is too small. Since a fob watch is a common accessory for such a vest, this was disappointing. The vest is otherwise very good. Editor's note: Pockets are sewn shut for transit and can be fully opened with a seam ripper upon receipt.

I purchased the vest for my husband for Christmas. He loves the covered buttons. He plays the guitar, and was impressed by the covered buttons because they will not scratch his guitar. He loves the color and cut of the vest. And it looks great on him!!

Ordered this vest for my daughter. It arrived incredibly fast, the fit was was perfect, and the design was exactly as described and pictured. She was very pleased and received several complements.

Well made, fits great

Runs on the low side of the size range.

I ordered the vest and received it on time and was very pleased with the order. Actually I ordered it from this website and it was just like the picture. The only thing that I have against it that I ordered a large where it fits tight. I think I could have purchased a XL instead. I would like to say to anyone that please know your correct size and if possible order a size up. But after all it accented my suit very well. I thank you Historical Emporium for helping me out.

I sized this according to my chest measurement and found it to be too big. I didn't have time to exchange it so I had a tailor take it in and now it fits better. Be careful with the sizing, and perhaps these run a little big. Take some accurate measurements, talk to the customer service folks, see what they think before you place your order. This looks very handsome, feels a little bit like a costume piece with some of the finishing. Given the price, I wouldn't expect anything to feel like a short cut on this, but I'm only taking one star. Without a coat, this is a really ostentatious waistcoat. Be warned. It's an attention getter. With a coat over top, I get the splashes of gaudiness that I was looking for, lurking beneath a bit of classy modesty. The weight of this is really light, probably the kind of waistcoat you're looking for in warmer climates.

Sizing was right on, fast shipping, really have to look hard but this vest does have Chinese dragons on it....love it! Will continue to buy from this company.

This style runs larger than the canvas so despite the gracious return policy I gifted it to a much appreciative friend!

This is a good vest; well made from decent materials. Should get 5 stars, but for the pockets. They are way too shallow. Main reason I bought the vest was to accessorize with an antique pocket watch. The standard railroad pocket watch barely fits in the pocket. Another 1/2 to 1 inch depth would make this 5 star.

I was absolutely amazed at the speed that this vest arrived.I'll indeed be wearing this beautiful vest to some of my performances for sure.Thank you again Gentleman's Emporium for your outstanding products.

Comfortable and stylish vest.

Just what I was looking for. Looks great. Fits great.

The ordering process was easy and efficient. A lot of items and styles to choose from! I wanted a festive vest for a holiday party. The emerald color was a little darker than anticipated and I was hoping for something a little brighter green. Also, I needed to have the vest altered some, I’m a slim and thin guy. Nonetheless, it is of good quality and I like the fabric and style very much. It will provide the style and “festive dress” requirements for the party. I’m grateful to have found a company and supplier of unique and stylish garments for men, above and beyond the run of the mill.

My husband was pleased with the look of the vest when it arrived, but it did not fit his pear-shaped body. However, we were pleased with the speed of the original mailing and the efficiency with which the return was handled.

Purchased this for a party and it came within a week. Great materiel and cut. I bought it big because other vests I have purchased came small. This one was exactly what they said it was going to be. Materiel was great and cut was professional. Vest can be used for multiple purposes, not just as a period costume. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again.

the fitting was right and the vest make a statement at my Christmas party. well constructed, good materials and great quality.

I just received the Middlethorpe Vest that I ordered and it is absolutely beautiful. Well made and simply beautiful. The fit is great and the quality is admirable. I love it!!!

Although a little baggy under the arms for my fit, fabric quality much better than I expected. Other re-enactors thought the pattern should also be on the rear, I preferred it the way it was.

A bit large, had to take it in a couple of inches, otherwise excellent!

I liked the design of the vest but quality of the fabric used was disappointing.

My daughter was planning a Steam Punk theme for her wedding. She suggested your site and we chose this item as the basis for my outfit. The fit was very good and the quality of the product was exceptional.

I have two Scully vests almost identical but in two different colors. I wear them almost every night during the summer months between Memorial Day and Labor Day. They hold up quite well and are very nice looking...Even after all of the wear they get!

Emerald Vest I play Santa and the Vests that I purchased from you helps me play the part all year long. Thank You

Well made product; perfect for Madi Gras!

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and it is a perfect fit. He absolutely loves it! It's high quality and authentic. I am very pleased with it

We will be attending a Jane Austen Society Regency Ball/Birthday Party soon, and I got my husband this handsome vest to wear with his other items of costuming. It is well made, a beautiful color, the L fits him well. I have a short dark green cape to wear with a white empire dress, and I think we shall make quite the attractive, older couple.

I've very happy with this item, as I've been with all the fine clothing I've bought here. I do, however, wish that there were 'matching spats" and perhaps a bow-tie to go with so many things I've bought...or at least if they would buy some of the material from wherever they come from and offer it to purchase so I can have the spats made to match. We do want our attire to be coordinated you know.

Very pretty vest, but I though the buttons were both inexpensive feeling and poorly sewed on. One popped off when I wore the vest for the first time.

The material and fit of this vest was excellent for the Victorian look I was after, essentially emulating Darcy of you know where....:} The ladies loved it at the Victorian ball, and even two gents commented on how 'proper' it looked. What makes this vest special is the subtle blue paisley pattern, not overstated. I did order this vest one size larger to compensate for the bulkier shirt I was wearing. No issues.....good value...

This is a very handsome vest. It is well made and the material is beautiful. I bought this for my wedding and am so happy with it. I can highly recommend the style and fit of this vest - exactly as described online. The sizing chart was perfect.

My husband has an "executive build", rounder in the middle, and this vest fit him without alterations to the upper chest. Some we have purchased for him at other locations have need taking up at the shoulders in order to be large enough in the girth and fitted at the top.

Love the color, pattern, and quality of the material; just wish the pockets were real pockets into which a watch could fit! Editor's Note: The pockets are sewn shut, but can be opened to use for a pocket watch.

It was very well made and fit very well also.

Very nice vest, well made, fits good.

I ordered this vest for my sons wedding. It is gorgeous. Fits very well. My husband loved it too. The color is awesome.

I am very pleased with this vest! It's a great additional to anyone's wardrobe! Everyone is right to say the pics does not do this vest justice! It has a nice rich blue undertone that does not make this vest to flamboyant. My only complaint is that you the pockets are sewn shut, but that's most of their vests and all you need is the right tool or visit your local tailor to rectify! Overall, another awesome purchase from historical emporium!

Just reiterating some of the points of others here. The vest's material and workmenship are great. The colors are muted and not flashy but the designs beautiful. The fit is a little different then other vests ive bought on this site, a little wider in the lower back, but nothing severe. I found i could adjust it down to fit me pretty well. (Im a large, i know the reviewer before me had different problems in a small) Finally be aware the pockets here are mostly for show. You can fit about a thumb in and thats it. I was expecting deeper pockets, but not a huge deal. Overall A good vest and one i plan on wearing alot!

The River Trail Vest looks and feels quite nice. It has a durable build and the price is great. The downsides, it is sized a little larger then most other vests, especially in the waist, so even ordering a small, it was a little too large on me. I had to adjust it myself to get the fit I really wanted. The material, while quite elegant, also feels like it would be easier to mess up or damage then other waistcoats I've ordered. Definitely a great vest for fancy occasions but perhaps not so good for every day wear. Still, a good vest and I'm quite happy with the purchase. Maybe just a slight size adjustment or making the back-strap have a great range of adjustment.

I was totally pleased with the River Trail Vest. The photo doesn't do justice to the front fabric, which is a deep and elegant indigo with a subtle black pattern: most suitable for a dignified gent! The buttons give just the right touch of understated sparkle. With the Callahan Frock Coat and the Silk Puff Tie: perfect!

The Blue River Trail Vest has quickly become my favorite. It looks absolutely great. The color is not too flamboyant. It is just right. Workmanship is first class. Sell this is several different colors and I just might buy them all.

I purchased a large in another style, and then exchanged it for this vest in a medium. It has good quality fabric all around.

I like this vest and it looks great with my outfit. However, I was very disappointed to find that the watch I bought with the outfit would not go into the vest pocket because the pockets are dummies. I would think for the money there should be a real pocket on this vest.

Husband needed a vest for a costumed wedding we attended. This vest is great looking and a good product. Quick shipping. Would definitely order from Historical Emporium again if the need arises.

Scully brand, very nicely made. I'm long in the torso and the 2XL-Tall fits very well. Pockets are tacked shut, be warned before you jam your hands in the pockets. Lightweight, excellent for fashion without adding weight to your outfit.

great vest. the size was perfect....it is a scully!

Great Vest, wish you had more products my size.

I love the feel of the silk fabric and it fits so swell. The buttons are all covered with rich distinction of supine appointment. I wore the vest to a Christmas party and really felt as if I ascended into another relm. Compliments galore. It really has a rich wine burgandy color that shines taste. I will be looking for more items like the jacket in the future.

I bought this for my husband to wear at our town's Heritage Day celebration, but he loved it so much that he's worn it to work several times already! He's tall, so the extra length in the tall sizes is a welcome plus. The paisley pattern is absolutely gorgeous. This is the 5th or 6th vest we've bought from Historical Emporium, and we'll continue to buy new ones.

My husband loves his new vest. The fit is just right, and he likes the fabric.

Beautiful vest with a perfect fit. Also, Great Quality. I was extremely well please. The time from ordering to arrival was excellent. I look forward to purchasing other items in the near future. Thank you.

Looks so much better in person. Fits great. Fast delivery. High quality all the way around.

Vest arrived in great condition. Looks good. Feels good. As advertised. Beautiful fabric. Two minor issues: 1. The vest appears to me to be a bit short - I'm 5'9" tall, 230lbs, and it doesn't cover my beltline - my shirt is showing above my belt all the way around me. I've never needed to buy "tall" clothes before, but apparently I would need to do so for this item. 2. The only comment is that tailoring was absolutely necessary. Although I purchased the correct size for my check/waist size, the vest was rather baggy around the lapels/check area. After $60 worth of tailoring, it now does not have the unsightly wrinkles in this area and fits well. In all fairness, I've been given to understand that tailoring is required for most/all vests.

Beautiful vest, will make a nice holiday addition to my husbands driving wardrobe. Fabric was beautiful and sized appropriately. I appreciate the selection of vests in the Tall sizes.

I stopped buying clothes at my local clothing stores... Expect working clothes... I'm making a commitment to the vintage look... Thanks guys.

Ordered this for an accent for a groom's suit and he now shines. Paisley pattern is classic and the texture of the fabric is rich and detailed. Looks and feels very expensive. Very impressed.

I'm a big guy... 6'3" with a couple of extra pounds, so every time I order a vest it's a gamble of whether it will be wide and short, or baggy and too long, etc etc. This vest was not only a perfect fit (shoulders, chest, waist and length), but the quality was apparent and I'm VERY happy with it. Highly recommended and well worth the $$.

Nice vest. Medium quality. Needed some tailoring. Arm holes cut little too wide.

Bought this for my husband’s birthday. We have a Model T and participate in a number of events. This vest is quite elegant, and he looks quite dapper in it. He wore it to a commemorative tea and was a big hit. Well made, beautiful fabric!

I most recently had the opportunity to attend a “Black Tie Chic” event. I did not want to purchase an entire tuxedo- what do to? I turned to the myriad of shirts and vests at Historical Emporium to put together a “look”. To include the Tuxedo-look of the Sinclair Edwardian Club Collar Shirt and Gold Klondike Vest. Well let me tell you I looked sensational- some folks came up to me and said I looked dapper. I was worried about size but the vest xxl fit fine- I did have a bit of a problem with the vest - one of the metal buttons was not sealed closed properly in the back - it had a very sharp metal opening- which actually when I put on the vest - sliced through the thread of the back of the button- within seconds- button was on floor. I have thought of sending back vest- but will try to send to a tailor to try to repair. Otherwise- vest was as advertised- great fit. Bottom line - I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you.

Ordered Klondike got Paisley. Is that the same Please send answer Thanks

It is just what the image portrays. Great looks and fit. Goes with the rest of the outfit. Very good quality item. Excited to get to wear this in my nieces wedding!

Ordered an XLarge Tall for my husband. It fit accordingly to his size. Beautiful design.

Ordered an XLarge Tall for my husband. It fit accordingly to his size. Beautiful design.

I purchased this vest to wear to Christmas service at my church. My wife loved it, and my church family provided a number of compliments. With Historical Emporium's service and the quality of their products, I will absolutely continue to shop here!!! Thanks, Brian D. Texas

It is difficult to find vests that fit my husband properly; I picked him up the 3XT version of this vest and it fits him well. It is beautiful and amazing.

The Klondike Vest is gorgeous. Great fit.

We ordered this vest for the groom in our wedding. Not only does it fit him perfectly, but it looks AMAZING!!! The pictures don't do it justice!! I wish you guys sold toddler/kid vests!! I have recommended everyone to this website!!

this vest is perfect to compliment my tuxedo.

As usual, I am very pleased with the quality of the clothing sold by the Emporium. The Drake vest is well made and attractive.

Very nice vest. Floral pattern looks very subtle and nicer then in photos. Perfect size match. Thank You!

Exceptional quality, price and value. Where else can you get all of this, plus the timeless design of yesteryear?

Talls are hard enough to find, but I also prefer lapels, and so many vests these days are cheap, no lapel satin boring things meant for tuxes. This vest is appropriate whether you're trying to sport a vintage look or just trying to accent your current wardrobe.

To be honest I wanted the order the Dragon Vest in red and black but it had sold out by the time I placed my order. I chose this as my back up and what a pleasant surprise! There is a lot of luster to this black on black vest. The subtle but beautiful pattern allows this item to easily match different blacks. Wear this to add panache to an otherwise dreary black suit.

Good looking vest. Fit great. Not made in USA and that saddens me.

this is a very sharp vest that looks great. It is high quality and well made.

I bought this vest as a birthday present for my husband. He absolutely loves it! The quality is superb and the cut is just right for dressing in (Gothic-)Victorian fashion, which he loves. Delivery from Gentleman's Emporium was swift and painless. Definitely worth the price!

The only problem I had with this vest is that it was a little too short in the back because of my size. I am 6'6" so it rose a little in the back. Also, the cut is a little generous, so speak with the customer service reps about how you'd like it to fit. They are actually very knowledgeable and helpful and really try to help you put together the right look and feel for you. So I give 4 stars to the vest and 5 to customer service! How about it HE, tall sizes?

great vest great sevice evs was a very helpful nice person look forward to doing buisness with you again!!

came as requested. Is great, very happy.

My 14-year son old wore the Drake Vest to a school dance so he could look a little more polished than a shirt-and-tie. He really liked how he looked, and of course, as his mother, I cried.

Got this vest to wear at my "Alice In Wonderland/Mad Tea Party" Wedding - absolutely love it! The material is beautiful, the subtle stripes on the back piece were an unexpected treat. I was thrilled that there were so many sizes available. The fabric is thinnish - this is probably not the vest for every day wear - but it made alternations easy (the vest is very generously sized.)

Very nice fit, well made and fancy paisley design.

This is a beautiful vest. I love it! I do wish the buttons were sewn on a little better. 2 fell off when I first tried it on, so I sewed them back on and also had to sew the remaining buttons on a little bit better. Not a huge deal though. Very well made otherwise. Love the design!

I was wanting a dressy vest for my split skirt or even jeans. This will do the trick.

I received my vest in a very short time, and I'm pleased with the quality of the fabric and workmanship. It fits perfectly and will be a nice addition to my Victorian clothing collection which I wear at fairs and other venues when I demonstrate my craft of rug hooking.

I love this vest! The moment I put it on, I felt a boost in my confidence, perhaps a jolt of that "bully" spirit. This will be my go-to piece for big meetings. Exemplary tailoring, beautiful fabrics. This experience with the Emporium has secured them a devoted new customer.

I have purchased several items from Historical Emporium and they have all been fabulous including this vest. The detail, which is a bit hard to see in the picture, is beautiful. As usual I received it really quickly and in excellent condition. I'm never disappointed in their items.

The vest was a lovely rich black. It felt good when I wore it and I got a lot of compliments. The quality is excellent. I called to get the order sent faster. The person on the phone gave great service and it arrive earlier than I expected.

Not the quality I expected for the price of product.Thin, cheap material something I would have expected to find at some discount store.Will not buy from here again. Dissapointed!!!!

Vest was a little snug..... should have ordered the next size up. But it still looks AWESOME!!!! Love the way it looks... especially over a black shirt. Had to call customer service cause the pockets were 3/4 sewn up... did not know the maker did that for shipping purpose and they told me just to snip the thread.... and behold a full pocket.

The Vest fit nicely even under the coat and looked really sharp over the shirt.

Beautiful Vest. Looks as good as I hoped! I am using it when I drive my horse-drawn carriage.

This vest was just what I had been looking for. I am glad I stumbled upon their website ( Very nice site, I might add) a quick transaction and delivery within a week, I will agree with another reviewer to order up one size, this vest runs a little small. I sent mine back and they replaced it with the larger size , they had it back to me in no time!

I had previously ordered another Klondike Vest (Red) and it fit according to the size specified. The silver one seemed to run small so I have returned it for an exchange of a larger size. The color and fabric were as stated. I truly am enjoying the first one I ordered so I am looking forward to receiving the new one.

This vest looked sharp, and fit very well. Ordered a XLT, and was grateful for the nice selection of Tall sizes.

Pros-Beautiful pattern design for vest. Nice Weight. Made Well. Cons-Not true to measurement. Husband is 48", Vest measured 2" smaller. If you are long waisted you may want to consider the item in a Tall. Returned and will order a size larger in a Tall.

I think the title says it all. This vest is amazing. Great color. Strong addition to the wardrobe. Provides multiple options for neck wear.

Fits perfectly. Very stylish.

The Klondike silver vest is very stylish, looks very classy on, it's great for a dressy occasion. Would recommend this colour and style.

Beautiful vest! Perfect for Prom and Graduation!

A Beautifully made piece, The color and size is beyond expectations. I will wear it and other clothing l purchased before regularly. Great work G. Emporium; it's good to see that companies make clothes from future past.

The vest was delivered to Australia quicker than I thought possible. It is very good quality and has since been worn and admired at my sons wedding. I am very impressed by the quality of the product and the service given. I will be a regular customer in the future.

Ordered the "L" option. Finally, a vest that (in combination with the Callahan dress trousers) is long enough to avoid the unsightly "shirt-muffin top" poufiness between the trousers and the vest.

We got 4 of these vests for our wedding and we're happy with the quality. It's a nice silver color, not too shiny but obviously silver and not grey. The real pockets are nice as most vests have fake pockets. My fiance wanted to wear a pocket watch so this is a must. The sizes seem to run true to the size chart. And we were very happy in the range as we ordered from a medium to a 4x and one large-tall.

I ordered several vests to try on for our daughter's wedding. They arrived quickly. The return process was fast & easy & my refund was very prompt. This vest is just beautiful. Fits perfectly & is exactly what I was looking for. This was the only one I could find in this style in my size. Couldn't be more pleased.

Great color and the quality is very good

Bought several items. 2 vest, 2 pair of pants, 2 shirts, 2 pairs of boots along with several other items. All fit exactly as expected. The Midnight Hour Vest was much larger than the other vest. But the quality was great. Please note that you will have to send it back at your own cost. It cost me $14.00 just to ship it back and then Historical Emporium will charge you shipping again to get your replacement.

The pictures do not do this vest justice. The pattern looks like swirling ink in a midnight sky.

This vest is wonderful, it has a dark shimmer to it while not being overly reflective. I wear all black with this even the tie. It gives a mysterious vibe.

The midnight hour vest fulfills all of my needs as I enjoy dressing in the 18th century style. These items help me make a lasting impression on individuals I do business with. I'm not only a minister I'm a medical equipment sales men. These items help me leave a memorable impression and my customers make a better connection with me and my products.

Ordered this vest because I'm 6'4" tall, 275 lbs, with a 53" chest and this was one of the few places where big and tall guys can find dress clothes in 3XLT and up. The product is exactly as advertised, a real dark black, sturdy material with a very detailed, nice pattern that looks awesome in neon lights. The material on the back is also black, and has vertical lines in it. The buttons feel a bit loose after two uses, especially the bottom one, but it is normal wear and tear and there is an extra one included. The sizing is a bit big, and I know I'm not the first person to comment on that here. I learned that by reading these reviews, too. Like I said, I'm a big guy and it is hard for them to know if you need a 3XLT because you're a broad, muscular guy, or because you're built like Jabba the Hut, so plan on a 3XL being a bit roomy, especially around the arms. It fit great across the chest, but was obviously designed for someone with a bit more fluff to them than I have. Even so, the vest looks great, and if I want it tightened up a bit, it's nothing my local seamstress can't knock out in a jiffy. Happily, if you have any other problems, the customer service for this site is awesome, so you should be able to clear anything up with ease. Not a bad experience, and I will be a return customer the next time I need nice formal wear.

I am very pleased with the appearance and quality of this vest. Its appearance changes slightly as the light catches the paisley pattern, , adding the subtle touch I was looking for without color. My measurements fell right between the L and XL breakpoint, and I ended up going with XL. It seems quite roomy on me, so the sizing does not appear to run small. It looks great under my cutaway coat!

I purchased this vest recently because I was looking for a dark charcoal vest. The color of the vest in these pictures and the color of the vest I received are a little further apart than I expected. To my eyes the pictured vest is a dark grey, the vest I received is clearly BLACK. Nevertheless, it is a very well made vest. The fit is perfect and it looks damn good with a puff tie.

you will love it

Ordered this vest for a groomsman. It fits him perfect and the quality is wonderful for the price! Can't beat it and super happy!!

Good looking vest. Thanks! My only wish is that is would be made in the USA. It is not.

I bought this vest as something to wear on stage when I perform so it's "costuming" but it's not costumey. I wear it with a modern, slim-fit formal shirt with french cuffs and it has earned me compliments every time I've worn it. When next I'm flush, I'll be getting a bunch of other Historical Emporium vests -- I think this one comes in blue . . . maybe in black and silver. I suspect they'll all work just as well for me. Thanks for the wonderfulness of your stuff!

I was very pleased with the quality of the vest, as well as the timeliness of the shipment. Thank you!

Really nice vest. Seams are well sewn and finished nice. Canvas has a nice fell, soft but rugged. Should hold up to use/abuse well. Sizes tend to run small, order one size up. Will be ordering a black one soon.

Although I bought a workman's vest (nice canvas), the quality of the vest is excellent. I buy all my dress vests from the Emporium now and I haven't been disappointed yet. Thank you for filling this need. I know I can purchase from you with full confidence.

More 'rustic' than the Sand Mountain also ordered--fit was true, as was color. They've chosen an odd type clip/buckle for the belt in back--otherwise, it would receive a 5 star.

Well made, well priced. This vest has moved to my everyday wear column, it gets 4 stars because I added an inside pocket for my cell phone.
