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.

BEAUTIFUL vest!!!!! This vest is made of very NICE fabric,It's a very GREAT purchase made really well.I ordered for my husband to wear on formal nite on our up coming cruise to match my Titanic style dress it is PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You won't be SORRY of purchasing this VEST!!

this vest is very well made and is very smooth the colour is just perfect fits like glove I find I am wearing this vest more than others I can definitely recommend this one cheers

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 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 love the cut, fit, and color of this vest. Due to the color palette and its silk construction, this vest actually changes color depending on the lighting...especially out in the sun. It's quite a striking look.

Very happy with this vest.

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.

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.

prettier in person than online! Very pleased

Best ever looks great feels even better to wear lots of positive coments can definitely recommend this one its a perfect fit just love it

This vest goes with any ensemble, and definitely makes a statement. Sizing was accurate (ordered a medium), surprisingly, especially for a guy with a bigger upper body chest. The waist is easily tapered with the adjustment strap on the back, so it won't look baggy.

Great fabric - looks wonderful on him - he loves it as I do!

This vest is ok ..not great like I expected from such a reputable source. Actually looks like it was sewn in China.. :( it has darts in the front, that's fine but they are short sewn and make the sides pucker. We needed the vest on short notice..our fault, or else we would have sent it back. Although it is pretty and the buttons are really nice.

My first order with the Emporium was a collection of waistcoats; this one is a particular favourite. Fine texture, beautiful colour - pairs very nicely indeed with the charcoal Callahan frock coat and the black velvet Edwardian morning coat. Looks superb, fits well, excellent value all 'round.

Wonderful fit, looks fantastic with my morning coat. Very happy with the purchase

This vest pattern seems to photograph better than it looks in person. A few seams and pockets were lower quality than expected.

Very impressed.Fast delivery and vest fit superbly well.

Wah Maker quality, real silk, fast regular shipping, Emporium ROCKS!

Yet another wonderful item of clothing from Historical Emporium, this waistcoat (or vest) is stylish, comfortable and definitely draws compliments fro all my friends.

Very pleased with the quality

Very nice quality and fast shipping. Will definitely be ordering other versions of this vest and after seeing and enjoying the quality, I will also be ordering other styles, as well as other types of clothing.

I ordered this vest to wear at our 50th Anniversary celebration. It not only fits well but it goes great with the deep purple dress my wife purchased for the celebration along with the deep purple western shirt I'll be wearing. Our thank to Historical Emporium and Wah Maker for offering great products. You can count on us to be back for more in the future. Bill Eyl

Thank goodness I have finally found a very well tailored product made in the US! This silk vest surpasses even my highest expectations for men's accessories out there on the market. My husband and I were very pleased at this vest. We are planning our 20 wedding anniversary with a renewal of our vows and this looks smashing with his black western dress blazer! Not a thing had to be done to make it fit properly! Thank you sooooo much Western Emporium for making this a wonderful experience!

Quality not quite up to 5 stars but okay.

Fits perfect. I'm 5'10 and weigh 170 pounds With a muscular build. The medium is just right. Not to loose at all. The buttons and finish to the vest look very sharp.

Bought this vest to brighten up my formal wear. Mission accomplished! Now have this Royal Blue Twin City Vest and Wah Maker's Dragon Vest to liven up a tuxedo. I despise having to get dressed up but it is far more tolerable when you feel good about what you are wearing, these vests do it for me. Quality, style and cut of this vest is just what I was looking for.

Beautiful and a great fit.I really liked the color and fabric

The twin vest royal blue is a lovely bright colour looks great with dark suite, would recommend this vest my my occasions.

A great vest! I love the way it looks. The only downside is the strap in the back has an annoying fastener: you pretty much have to take the vest off to tighten/loosen it yourself. Other than that, the vest is worth it.

thought the buttons and button holes were poorly incorporated in the fabric, loosely sewn on and loose threads

I ordered the best in the long version of my normal size. This vest was barely long enough but was far too small around the waist. I then ordered two more vests, one size bigger and two sizes bigger, but they were not available in longs. The one size bigger vest was fine around the middle but was terribly short. I ended up sending all three vests back. I understand the vests are cut shorter in the old style, but I think these went to extremes. I'm only 6'1" so it's not like I'm overly tall. I would have had to wear pants almost up to my chest for the regular length vest to work. The color of the vests was terrific - every bit as brilliant as you see in the photos. I wasn't really thrilled with the material though. It was very thin and flimsy . . . it wouldn't hold up to more than a couple CW reenactments, I'm afraid. It felt like a cheap costume rather than a real vest, and for the price I expected better quality. If you're shorter than average the length may not be a problem. If you're average or taller you really need to go with the LT version of the vest and hope it fits. Expect to order one size bigger than you normally would as well. If you need the vest for a one-time use and you can get one that fits, it will work very well for you. If you plan to use it for multiple events I think you'll be disappointed in the material. Gotta love the color though, and the vest looked very nice. I wish I could have made it work. It was perfect for our wedding.

As a professional Magician, I bought this Twin City Vest to replace on of my current vests (purchased elsewhere) that has worn out. It arrived well packaged, along with the two matching garters that I purchased as well. The vest looks and fits quite well, but the material (especially the lining) is a bit thinner than I was expecting. All in all, still a good looking vest at a good price.

Exactly what I ordered fits well, looks great but not using it till august so can't say more.

Perfect came in great time was not very long of a wait. The material is light weight and a thin type material so should not be very hot to wear. I am very happy with my recent purchase. Thamks- Steve-

I love the vest, and it will look great at my wedding. :)

The vest is beautiful but I had to send it back because it was too small. I had ordered a XL but a 2x is required. I'm not sure if they received the return that I mailed 1st Class mail last Thursday. I hope so, for I will need it in a few weeks. Thanks

This vest is exactly what I was hoping for, and will be a wonderful addition to my wedding attire. Thanks!

The vest is very nice. Fits well and looks very good.

This double breasted vest looks amazing on and is very comfortable. Love the color. It really stands out.

High quality material and perfect fit!

This is a truly amazing vest and it fits perfectly according to the size chart!!

Wow! This is so nice! I love it. Fit is perfect and the color just jumps out. I highly recommend this vest.

Real sharp vest, no complaints.

This item exceeded my expectations. The color is vibrant and the pattern on the fabric really adds to the richness of the vest. Thank you

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.

Excellent!.....Will order more....

In terms of the quality this vest I have no qualms. I only wish it was longer on the torso. By the sizes at Historical Emporium I consider myself a size small. I however did not realize how this could affect my clothing after buying this vest. I had previously bought a Black Cherry Jacquard Vest which fitted very nicely after I received it in the mail. What I did not account for in my second purchase was that the lack of front tails (as I suppose you could call them) would cause the vest to stop a little too high above my waistline.The only way I suppose I could fix this would be to get some suspenders and hike up my pants higher though if I were to buy a similar vest in that style I would be sure to get it one size larger.

Fragile and not for daily wear, but just the style I was seeking and great for special occasions. Thank you!

We ordered this vest for the father of the groom for a steampunk wedding. It was delivered in a timely manner and is made of good quality material. The only issue we found is that it gaps a little at the armholes. Too bad it doesn't come in a merlot color, that is the color of the bridesmaids dresses. Also too bad we couldn't buy the pattern to make merlot vests for the groomsmen! Overall, we are very pleased. Thank you.

A few weeks ago I purchased a "Forty-niner" vest from H.E. and it's wonderful. It fits well and I've never had so many compliments over a piece of clothing. But the "Baker City" vest has a square cut bottom that is way too high. I am 5'10" with a 33" waist and the size Large vest bottom is at least 2" higher than my waist line. Bummer. I returned it for an "Emerald Isle" vest and it's great. If you are of average height and weight stay away from this style. BTW, the turn-around for exchanging the vests took less than a week. I am impressed with H.E.'s customer service.

Very well made,light weight.Cut very well.......The paisley print gives it the look of wealth.

A very nice vest (as may be evident from the picture), made of a very nice, though somewhat delicate, fabric. This vest ought to be kept for special occasions and not for general everyday use.One additional note: if you mean to attach your watch chain through a button hole, be aware that the corresponding button will have a tendency to fall back through its hole.

I do community theater and belong to SASS. I purchased this vest to play Judge Thatcher in "Tom Sawyer" I received TONS of compliments about the color and style. It looked great with my Black Tail coat.Thanks for a Great Product.....

Consider this a great value. It is a quality piece.

Very proud of this vest: light fabric easy to wear and to move in it, it is short to match with high-waisted trousers of the period

Everything else in my order was too shelf. This vest is VERY cheaply made. Super thin fabric. Overall very low quality and not worth the purchase. It is pretty though. More of a disappointment really since everything else in my order was such a pleasure.

The vest fit exactly to my fiance's measurements and it looks very sharp, is lightweight, and pairs perfectly with the tailcoat we ordered. Very pleased with this item!

Quick service, excellent fit

Mostly satisfied. I would be a happier if it were just a little longer.

Sorry to report that I returned the vest. The workmanship and quality of the vest was great, however the size of vest was not even close to normal size. I consistently wear a medium in shirts, jackets, etc. Your vest was so small there was no way it would button and was at least 2 inches short in length. I ordered the vest for a wedding and did not have enough time to place a second order. Anyway thanks for the opportunity to return.

The vest looked great! I thought the size was way small for a XXL.

I recently purchased a different vest, size XL and found it snug. I wanted lots of room to breath and so purchased the 2XT vest. This vest is VERY roomy and I like that effect. The colour looks great with my previously purchased red and black puff ties. A tip for others: if you have the option on the vest, order the tall. It's long enough for modern waist pants.

Size Small is really a medium and needs to be taken in about 3 inches. Otherwise, well constructed.

This vest is nice quality and the sheen and pattern of this fabric is outstanding! Love it!

When I've worn this vest with a black coat and bow tie, more than one person (complete strangers) has suggested that I might be well off financially. That's how classy this vest is! The fact that it's made in the U.S.A. and of fine quality only adds to the overall satisfaction of this purchase. That it's a "period" vest even down to the buttons, creates a unique style when worn with or without a jacket. W.

All of the vests I have are all darker colors which didn't look quite right with the jacked I recently purchased from Historical Emporium but this one was perfect! This is the sixth vest I've ordered and every one has been fantastic!

I love to watch the television show Downton Abby, I look to the characters on the show for ideas on outfits of that particular time. The Baker City vest is an elegant and proper looking piece of attire, a must have for any gentleman's ensemble.

Excellent gentlemanly attire. Purchased a size Small for a snug, fitted fit and IT FITS PERFECTLY & comfortably (my frame 38-40 chest, 32 waist). Gorgeous finishes and silk fabric, excellent brocade pattern. Perfect length (short, appropriate enough for a cut off tailcoat).
