Excellent quality and very comfortable to wear. Liked the first one so much I bought a second.

Shipping was fast .. My new vest is awesome! Love it!

This Vest Looks Even Better In Person! Great Fit and Style! I Get Compliments Every Time I Wear It! Exceptional Customer Service & Shipping!

This is the best vest i ever had, very smooth.

Very nice, shipped in just a few days as stated. Very satisfied!!

Never had so many complaments on a vest ever. The color, style and softness.

Fantastic & well made product as to the period & material used, fit was a plus & the measuring advice was precise.

good quality , product has some weight about it; think it will last quite a while.

We ordered this along with a tail coat for a Halloween costume. I needed help to make sure I was getting the right size, and I was concerned about receiving it in time. I received the vest ahead of projected schedule, it fits perfectly, and the quality is great!

I like this item because it is unusual and rich-looking without being obvious. The material is thick and tweed-like, and this makes the pattern and colors appear more subtle than the photo might indicate. Unfortunately it also picks up lint rather easily; don't wear it with any item that may shed. But that's the only criticism I have. It's well made. The pattern is well matched, which I often don't find even in more expensive items from higher-end retailers. You must button/unbutton all eight buttons as none are just for show. The fit is good with minimal or no taper. That's good news for those of us who don't have designer bodies. Overall, I highly recommend this.

I bought this vest because I had been impressed with the first vest I had bought. Getting it in the fit and quality are excellent which is why I had been willing to buy from the emporium again. I have no doubt that I will be shopping here in the future! Thank you.

unfortunately, I ordered the wrong size so I need to exchange it for a larger one

Absolutely love...fast service by vendor. Will continue to purchase from them.

I wear it to work.

Nice canvas vest. Looks and feels good.

Was for a Christmas Dickens themed party and we fit in nicely. Good compliments on our outfits. They seem as well made or better than expected

Twice is a Charm! I ordered a Large the first time and returned it today due to it was too small. Soon as I received it I ordered a Extra Large, it arrived today and is great. Will be ordering the Green one next. Quality Vest for sure.

This Double breasted vest is of great quality. It is tube shaped rather than tapered so gives a little more room to breath so to speak. Match your size according to the larger; belly or chest. The 36 fit for my husband who normally wears 34 pants. We paired it with two different shirts, the Virgil and Bellamy for different looks. The quality is wonderful, the customer service was 10 out of 10. I would highly recommend any products from Historical Emporium.

I used this as a costume piece in a Christmas play. It was just what the costumer wanted to see!

I can hardly find anything negative to say! Perfect fit, comfortable, and not too badly priced!

XXL fits larger than expected, but not drastically. Canvas feels durable. Lighter and cooler than expected. Pockets are reasonably sized and useful.

The vest is surprisingly thick and warm, and the stitching is carefully done. The double buttons are not for show but are all functional. The sizing was also perfect. I am more than pleased with the vest, obviously, and it arrived quickly after purchase.

Looks great! Looking forward to getting a lot of wear out of it this winter.

I was underprepared for just how thick and durable this vest was going to be. It really is a thick canvas material and pairs well with canvas trousers for a formal look that is still functional for work. Do not recommend wearing this on a hot day though, it is seriously a thick fabric. The fabric is so thick I struggle to get my US Marshal badge through the fabric for my cosplay XD!

I wear a vest all year long, and have many vests. This one is for more dress up occasions and it did the trick. Was impressed with the quality and look.I will be back for other items.

Exactly the look I wanted! Great vest.

Great quality vest, very sharp! Ordered it to be worn at a wedding and was very happy I did. Excellent company, with great service!

The cut and pattern you can see in the photos, however this waistcoat begs to be touched. It's nice and thick and is rather fancy. I normally prefer 4 pockets, but that is a small compromise I am happy to make. The buttons are a nice accent too.

If you buy this vest, order a size down from your usual size. I bought a 2XL as normal, and it turned out to be too long and wide for me. I had to have it taken up, which cost extra for the tailor to do. It was a very expensive process for an already expensive vest. I like the look and shape of it. I just wish there were more like it for sale in different patterns. I wanted one because it reminds me of an outfit from Blackadder's A Christmas Carol, only lighter. It fits into that Regency/Dickens era perfectly. But the pattern itself is a little bit fuzzy up close, which is disappointing (though maybe not surprising, given the technological limitations of the era.) This looks great with black. Lots of black. It really stands out. I haven't tried brown though, as that's not really my colour. Also, it suits a high collared shirt better I think. So either Regency or Victorian high stand collar styles.

Perfect fit. Nice heavy weight textile as advertised. It will be my favorite waistcoat when the weather turns a little cooler.

I've had my eye on this one for awhile and finally decided to go ahead and get it. First, the color is very close to what I see on my monitor. The fit is very good, true to size and not uncomfortable. Being a tapestry vest, the fabric is pretty thick. This is most noticeable in the collar area, but not a deal breaker by any means, but l will be wearing it in cooler weather. l have only briefly worn it a couple of times so far and have received a number of compliments on it. The Crimson or Walnut pants really work well with it.

When I got my two piece tailcoat set, my intention was not to do full white tie. But then I needed the shirt for my livery and the tie as well and hey, in for a penny, in for a pound! I like it very much. As with the rest, it's well constructed. It took me a second to figure out how it's worn, as it's quite a different cut than I'm used to, but ones on it fits nicely (a concern with any vest, but particularly men's) and looks grand!

The vest is well made, with good quality fabric. Just wish the pocket welts were actually pockets, as my husband wears a pocket watch and chain with his Victorian and Edwardian dress. I am a costume designer and maker, so I will add the pockets myself.

This vest looks great with my husband's Victorian tux with tails. It bulges out at the sides a little, but you can't see it with the tux jacket on. We use this for historical dancing, so he's not supposed to remove his jacket on the dance floor anyway. So, it works fine for us. Looks fantastic when he's got everything on together. Thank you.

I ordered this as a back up for the Tux but just not what I needed will be returning it

Putting this vest on it felt as though i should be in a movie in the 20's . That being said i'm going to a Gatsby party this New Years Eve and it being my Anniversary i'm beyond pleased with this vest . A+ Joe Botticelli Ogunquit, Maine

completely satisfied

I didn't care for the fabric of the vest and have returned it back to Historical Emporium for a refund.

This item as well as any from The Emporium is of the highest quality. No complaint

Can't say enough about this wonderful vest. It is quality at it's finest for an economical price. We ordered both the 2x and 3x for a gentleman who wanted to live out his Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer version) dream for his big day. The customer service was top notch and we received our shipment quickly, then gave us all the information we needed to return the one that didn't fit. According to the size chart, and the measurements we took, we were thankful we ordered the 3x. It fit perfectly and our client was thrilled to "git hitched" is such finery. We hoped that he added the line " I'll be your huckleberry" in his vows. Thank you all for your great product and service! Kindest regards, Denise and Rosemary, The Costume Box.

This vest adds CLASS to my Doc Holliday outfits! Great texture of fabric. Very period savvy. Fantastic "Suthern Gamblah" vest. GET ONE NOW!

Great vest,fits really nice. Excellent quality.

I ordered the Putnam Gray Vest for a wedding in July with a Harry Potter theme. The vest arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I misjudged size, called their Customer Service, returned the vest for a larger size, and received the replacement in a week. 100% happy with Historical Emporium!

Does not hang/drape smoothly at shoulders. Looks good on a hangar though! Am a 44L, and ordered the appropriate size, which may be oversized. Otherwise nice look, and may fir ohters' torsos better.

We were delighted to see the high quality of this item. Authentic look and feel launched this site to the next level for me.

Fine quality and styling. The pockets are sewn shut but careful removal of the stitching at the top opening will reveal a nice pocket suitable for a pocket watch or any other small item you may want to carry.

The project if very well made and met or exceeded all my expectations.

Very classy looking vest. Sized correctly so I should have purchased an M, but this allows room for me to lift haha.

A little tight for size stated. Button popped off on first wearing. Did manage to repair it by cutting the spring end off of a safety pin and epoxying it into the hole. Sewed it back on and we were good to go.

I ordered the 4X and when I tried it on it felt like an XL. Way too small to be called a 4x

A beautiful very good quality made vest that I have received many compliments on, will buy many more in the future.

The waistcoat is gorgeous and will complement both my grey and black frock coats. Well fitted and the lining is nice as well.

I love the quality, fit, and material. This is a great addition to my wardrobe.
