This was a Christmas present for my husband. He loves it. It fits quite well, he looks very dashing. I was impressed with the quality and the quick turn around on the order. We are very pleased with this purchase.

This vest came and was perfect in every way! The fabric, construction, sizing and overall appearance were just what I expected. Thanks!

I am more than pleased with the Ambassador vest. Looks great and have had several compliments in it.

Well made, nice fit!

I have now bought over 8 vests from Historical Emporium and have nothing but glowing comments on the quality of the vests and the wonderful service I have received. Thank you H.E. for putting out such awesome products. You are my #1 go to spot for all my vest purchases.

This vest is excellent quality and cut a bit fuller than some others. This is my second vest from HE and I couldn't be more pleased.

I love it!

I absolutely love the Vintage Era clothing that is offered on this site. The Vests and Shirts are all constructed of the highest quality materials and look great. I like to dress them down with a pair of jeans for weekend casual wear, and dress them up with a suit or sports coat when dress wear is called for special dress occasions. If you enjoy wearing this style of Vintage clothing, then this is the site to get it from. All my items were shipped quickly as promised, and were safely packaged. I plan on ordering other items in the very near future. Five Stars, highly recommend this site.

Love the vest! It is all I expected, and fits just fine. The service was great too. (Ease of ordering, and fast delivery.) I will be back for more.

I love this vest! It fits so perfectly and the quality surpasses the garbage that most mainstream sellers try to push. I wish I could just walk into a store and purchase high quality clothes like this. Thank you Gentleman's Emporium!

The vest is of great quality and fits great. Will be making many more purchases

THIS WAHMAKER VEST is top of the line in a well made, handsome and authentic vest of the period in time it represents! ~ It is a real "eye-catcher" that will not disappoint its wearer! ~ Best of all it's ....MADE IN THE USA!!!

This was my first purchase from the Historical Emporium along with a satin silver puff tie and I have to say this exeded all expectations, the vest is very well made and is extremely light over all I love it. I will say this when I got it there where a few strings around the buttons but I was assured by a friend of mine who does a lot of tailor work that it was just the tie off point were they closed the stitching for the button holes. Well there is my " complaint " for this review and all it took to fix it was about two minutes with a small scissors and you couldn't even tell so all in all I give this 5 stars.

I heard the delivery was fast... still amazed by the speed. but beyond that, the vest is super amazing and awesome and comfortable.

Good quality vest. Sizing is perfect. Definately would purchase from Historical Emporium again. Also, very quick service

The vest arrived before I expected it and I am very happy

This vest is well-crafted and really looks sharp under my black Victorian Cutaway Coat. It will also look great when worn as "Santa casual" with black trousers and an open-collared white shirt.

I saw that this vest is going to be discontinued. I'm glad I got one of the last ones. This vest is awesome. Got a lot of compliments. Couldn't be happier with how it looked in person. Picture doesn't do it justice.

The product arrived before the scheduled date of arrival. It was well packaged and shipped on a hanger in a plastic bag. The vest is very well made and the fit is flattering. Thanks for such quality products and excellent customer service.

I purchased this silk vest to wear at my wedding reception, it adds just the amount of panache. Great purchase

This vest is beautiful, the color and design was a perfect match to a James West blue outfit I made for my husband. He received many compliments!

This is my second purchase from Emporium. This newest addition to my vest collection was part of my 2014 corporate holiday outfit. It was a fashion hit! It's silky smooth touch and excellent craftsmanship is second to none. The faintest hints of light blue makes this vest pop inside the paisley print. A must for a mans wardrobe.

Can't say enough about the quality and off the rack fit. If I would have been a bit more timely in my order, I would have had it altered just a bit to dial in the tailored look. Regardless, very well made and had many compliments.

This vest is gorgeous and the size is spot on. My only complaint would be that the pictures just don't do it justice.

Great vest love it. Silk fantastic.

I bought this as a possible groomsmen vest but instead decided that my father would wear it and it fit perfectly. It's true to size and the quality is impeccable. He tried on one of the cotton vest and liked the softer, less stiff feel of the baker city vest. Thanks!

a beautiful garment. Very pleased with the craftsmanship, especially being a larger guy like myself. Fantastic!

These folks have been great to work with will be getting more stuff from them in the future even thought I had to send one item back for a different size ,all good easy .

Received within del. dates shown (as has happened with everything else I have bought). The vest is everything you said it would be in colour and material. It helped that I already owned a red version of the same vest. They make a fine addition to my mid 19th century garb that I wear when making my presentations at the local Historic Village and at the Seniors' Residences where I make historic presentations. I will also wear it for St Patrick's day.

Love the vest...

Very nice vest. Fit is as described in the catalogue. Color is a nice Emerald Green.

I like these vests, they are comfortable, classy and cool to wear even when the temperature is hot. In the cool spring mornings they add a little warmth.

great color perfect fit looks good

This vest is a conversation piece. It takes an everyday suit to another level and makes me stand out from the other guys with just a suit and tie on. Everytime I wear it, I have received complements and people want to know where I got it. The quality is exceptional. I plan on getting the remaining available colors of this exact vest.

This vest is very sharp! The quality is very high standard. I matched it with brown dress pants the same color brown that is in the vest. I also used a white shirt with a red, white and brown color bow tie!

I have looked for a red vest like this one for a couple of years. I saw some in Paris that were fine but horribly expensive. This one is excellent for a reasonable price. The colours are nice and accurately represented in the website. I wear it sometimes in the house with my fez, for reading poetry, as a man of letter of the 19th century. I plan to wear it for parties and for entertaining at home. Eventually, I may wear it with an ensemble comprising a black frock coat.

Exactly what I've been looking for. Very attractive, quality vest. Couldn't be more satisfied.

Loved the vest, but medium was too large, and small was too small - - - by a large margin!

Quality, Quickly.

Beautiful vest and great fit!

This vest has a nice weight and fits very well. We are very happy with the purchase.

The vest is beautiful! I bought it for my husband to wear at our daughter's wedding in the park. It is a fairly casual wedding, but he needed something to set him apart as the father of the bride. This vest is perfect!

Vest was extremely large between chest and shoulder to the point it could not be altered, so it was returned. Oddly it fit around the waist. Otherwise it is a nice vest and well made.

Beautifully made and fit true to size. Arrived quicklyl Very happy!

The vest was exactly what we thought it would be. It fit perfectly, and my fiance will look dashing on our wedding day! Thank you so much

Vest looked great and fit nicely. Very happy with this purchase

Put it on and fits great, and looks sharp.

Outstanding product and service.

The Ambassador Vest is well made,and the print is well thought out. We have been purchasing clothing for both men and women and also as gifts(esp the hats) and have been pleased with every item. The quality and attention to detail is spot on. Many items are made in the USA and this is a added bonus,especially being American history buffs.

This vest goes perfectly with the Victorian Cutaway Coat in charcoal. The paisley pattern and slight sheen are a nice compliment to the coat. The adjustable back helps create the perfect fit.

We got the Vest and it fits perfect, could use a little taking in under the arm towards the back, the quality is great. It is better then I had expected and my husband to be loves it. I will order again from Historical Emporium for sure, I am so proud of this product. If you are thinking about a purchase go ahead you will be impressed.

very nice vest everyone asked where i got it

Very Nice. Would recommend this vest to anyone. Great quality very well made.

This vest is perfect for the formal folk dance it will be worn for. The pattern is much more vivid and eye-catching in person than in the online photos. Arrived even quicker than expected after ordering.

I ordered this vest sort of as a trial. Having never ordered anything from these guys before, and wondering if the low price meantalso meant low quality, I held my breath. The order arrived very quickly. I must say I am very pleased with the product! The fit is perfect, the fabric and construction first rate, and the look when worn with my costume is every bit as good as the photo on the website. I highly recommend this vest and I expect to order more items from HE soon!

This is the THIRD version of this very same vest that I've owned (to accommodate my spreading waistline). The color and styling are "sharp as a tack", and the workmanship of top quality. WAH vests tend to run a little smaller than some other companies, so one might consider ordering a size larger and than one might usually order.

Nice article. I have been wearing it as part of my Christmas apparel when doing presentations at Seniors Residences & in the Christmas weekend at the Fanshawe Pioneer village were I portray an 19th century print shop owner/operator. One thing that appealed at the seniors home (where they keep the thermostat set high) is the light weight material in this vest.

The Material was made thin and cheaply. Once putting it in the cleaner. I do not think I will get too much wear out of it.

I love this vest. The color, the style, are all just as presented. I have purchased several other vests and have always been more than satisfied with the quality. Keep up the good work.

This is the second vest I purchased, and just like the first vest, it looks the same as it does on the web site. The color, pattern, and texture of the vest is outstanding. I like the double breasted variety and will be purchasing more in the future.

It fit perfectly, looks much sharper than the picture, great quality, and terrific reviews from my friends

Got raves about the vest, Love it .. just one thing, not quite long enough in the front, I am not a very large man tho I weigh 270, but 6 ft tall so your vest rides up and allows my waist belt to show. Still looks sharper than anyone else.. Thanks

Many of my friends at the Historical Society Christmas party asked if it were a vintage piece, it was such a compliment to my black vintage tail coat, worn with your gold ascot and white formal shirt it could have been Christmas 1912!

This vest was true to the representaion in H.E.'s advert. The colour was spot on & looks smashing on my man. Excellent value, finer material than the tux-4-hire shops. Product arrived on time, and in mint condition. We have since purchased the complete outfit without hesitation. I have forwarded this site to all my friends and associates. Excellent 'toe-in-the-tub' product if you are hessitant to purchase. Merci H.E.! K

Very authentic and well made.

This vest is perfect for my fiancé for our wedding...only thing is, since he is 6'4, we ended up having to exchange the vest for one size larger for length...

Beautiful victorian vest my fiance will use for his wedding attire! Fast and secure service, we will be ordering from you in the future! Thank you.

This vest fits well and looks great. Note when purchasing vests - I typicall wear a 42 - yet I will end up with a medium vest as it fits my torso better. Remember, without sleeves there is no real worry about arm movement. The material leaves a bit to be desired - the finish, while nice, also leaves a bit to be desired. The button holes catch loose thread on the buttons. This is fairly typical with the acetate vests. A little more attention to detail on these finish items and this would be five stars.

Very lightweight and well made. Striking! Recieved many positive comments the first time I wore it. The vest fits perfectly and even comes with a spare button inside. Thank you.

I absolutely love this vest! I look forward to purchasing other vests from your vast selection! Thank you!

I bought this vest on a whim, it happily being as much as what I'd expected although I did have to get it trimmed by a seamstress. It's great, the paisley pattern and colours are bewitching for which it gets many admiring smiles from strangers and approving comments from those who know me. It's not a garment that would suit a man of small stature, let alone one who's fat, but if you're tall and reasonably slim as I am, on wearing this vest, you become taller than the Statue of Liberty, you make the blitz. Indian people seem to notice it notice it more because of the paisley pattern, one that originated from their culture. I fulsomely recommend this garment, it being perfectly presented by the business that sells it.

This vest is very nice and got a lot of compliments. It is a little short in the body, or maybe I'm too tall through the trunk, but it still works pretty good.

The vest arrived and is well constructed. The Paisley print is very striking, and exactly as represented. I will wear this vest with both Victorian and wild west attire...it is a keeper.

I love the vest. The quality is amazing and it's my second one.

This vest is great! It's every bit as nice as it appears on the website. I look forward to wearing it.

Bought this vest for my role as Sir John Middleton in Sense & Sensibility. A gorgeous, well made vest. It complimented my Victorian Cutaway Coat very well. The vest pockets accommodate a pocket watch and chain easily.

I am in management at a large manufacturing facility, this vest is of such high quality, and just flat out CLASS that i will wear as part of my business attire. Also looks awesome over just a v-neck T-shirt, nice jeans and boots. Rock this on a night out if you're a single guy and trust me, you WILL be noticed and approached with compliments on such a unique piece of apparel! Love It! i discovered this sight by accident looking for vest, and this is the first but not the last that i purchased! 2 thumbs way up!

I absolutely love the Vintage Era clothing that is offered on this site. The Vests and Shirts are all constructed of the highest quality materials and look great. I like to dress them down with a pair of jeans for weekend casual wear, and dress them up with a suit or sports coat when dress wear is called for special dress occasions. If you enjoy wearing this style of Vintage clothing, then this is the site to get it from. All my items were shipped quickly as promised, and were safely packaged. I plan on ordering other items in the very near future. Five Stars, highly recommend this site.

Needed adjustments to fit correctly. Nice vest; nice work.

much better in person than any picture can show you. Its gorgeous and looks very refined. Generously cut, if your tummy protrudes and you up the size beware you man need to have it tailored at the top! :) do not hesitate, if you like it, buy it.

The picture doesn't do this vest justice; when the light hits it, it shines. It was complimented several times over the course of the evening. The tones in the pattern are chocolate brown, black, old gold, and rusty orange. It went just as well with a brown cravat and brown pants as it does with the black pants and cravat in the photo pictured. Lovely quality, and even has spare covered buttons in event of a mishap.
