This is now my favorite vest i have about six from your collection. great quality & price Thanks

Love it! Quality of the fabric and styling are excellent! Great crossover piece with a classy touch for my favorite looks -- can go from formal to casual depending what it's combined with. Something I can wear to work, church, and downtown. The rounded bottom hem works nicely for displaying a fancy belt buckle. The Large size is slightly big for my 44" chest, but the adjustable buckle in the back makes it work, sizing is comfortable without buttons straining. Love the four front pockets, plenty of options for storage. The color is better described as brown/black, not brown/navy. The darker stripe is a soft black, not a blue tone. Love the brown/black stripe as it is, coordinates with more of my shirts/pants/jackets than the brown/navy would. The vertical stripes give a subtle slimming look.

I intend to wear the vest in several upcoming event as a living historian

I already had the pants but now I needed the vest. They were out of stock on the mediums so I had to get a large & take it in. I'll def check availability. Great quality!

Bought this and the matching Ferndale Striped spats to complete my patent medicine salesman 'living history' persona and am 1000% pleased with the fit and appearance. Both items look great in the website photos but are even more impressive in person. Really liked the higher neckline on this vest and the 4 pockets in front are perfect for everything from my pocket watch to a small bottle of 'cure all'. Thanks Historical Emporium for offering such great merchandise!

I ordered the whole suit; Frock coat, pants, vest and spats. Great quality. I'm 6'2" 215lbs and the XLs are a little on the large size, but I'll be getting them tailored. Not sure if the large would have done it, so not a big issue. LOOKS GREAT. Good weight to the fabric.

This is really one good looking vest! I have quite a few of your vests and am delighted with all of them. I'm a very big vest fan; don't consider myself fully dressed without one. This is the first striped vest I've bought and it certainly won't be the last. Congrats for a terrific product!

I love the vest. Just want to mention that the navy stripes look black.

The vest was very great quality!!! It was amazing I was very satisfied! I wore it my first day back to school and I think I made an impression I got many compliments and saw many signs of envy This isn't a costume it's a real suit It's a little boxy on me since I'm a girl but other than that it was absolutely fabulous

The vest was arrived very fast, the hubby loved it. The quality is great and fits like a dream.

Very snazzy.

Beautiful vest. Just what I was looking for. Fast shipping and great service. Will be back again and again, I'm sure.

I ordered this along with the matching trousers and we pleased to see how well it fit and how well-made it was. I would definitely recommend this ensemble to anyone looking for durable non-costume period clothing.

Only worn it twice so far- but the poll of those who have seen it suggests this is winner. great stuff. I'll be back for more style thanks for the great product

Seems great. Haven't tried to wash/clean it yet but the quality is nice. Trust the tape measure. I couldn't bring myself to order a size large as 100% of my wardrobe is XL. Ended up having to exchange it. I think I could have even fit a medium. Trust the tape measure procedure they give you. Also, go a size up on the pants as suggested. The Ferndale combo looks pretty sweet.

Stylin'

As advertised. I needed it quick so I called customer support. Item was delivered quickly.

I'll wear this onstage proudly

Masquerade Ball

To wear with my western wedding tuxedo.

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.

I purchased the vests for our band presentation at gigs. The vests look great and while we have yet to try them on, I suspect they'll be fantastic. Thank you for making the purchase easy.

The vest is beautiful and the fit is perfect. Thank you.

Perfect purchase. Wore to Ragtime themed event and was very period appropriate.

Perfect, perfect, perfect. So far, the different items I have purchased, the quality, service and shipping have been outstanding!!!

Nice quality, wonderful look, great shipping time. Ordered late Tue night arrived Thur morning, regular mail.

My husband needed a black and white vest for an event later this year during which we will be in historic costumes for a week at a time. This one is not just the best-looking option I could find, but fits well and is well made. He can remove his jacket with confidence; he'll still look well-dressed and period appropriate.

This ragtime black/white vest is a1 and look exactly the waty it spears in the video. I will certainly recommend it to every or anyone. When i had it on i received great components...

Bought this striped vest for a Night Circus themed party so everyone needed to wear black and white with a shock of red. This is the best vest I found over the entire internet to fit what I was looking for and the price is good. The product arrived very quickly and I was impressed with the quality for what I paid. The vest is thin, which is what I expected. I wont have to worry about overheating indoors. The fit was perfect when following the size guide.

Absolutely loved it. I bought it for a theatrical production in our theatre. I like it so much I think I'll be purchasing one for myself.

We love the vests and they arrived in a timely manner. They are of the highest quality and they're perfect for our barbershop quartet, The Apple Boys - Thanks!

I wear this for Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War meetings and functions. I thought the price was a bit high, but the vest is nice and fits good.

This vest is well-made of high-quality materials. It has an elegant look that I like. The fit is true to size and consistent with the other vests that I have bought from this company. I have no complaints about the vest and I recommend it. I look forward to wearing mine regularly.

Have been looking to acquire this style vest for quite a while. True to size, beautifully finished, comfortable, and well made. A nice addition to the other vests that I wear for either SASS matches or around town.

Probably the nicest vest that I've bought from HE (so far). Beautiful fabric and the buttons are metal (brass, I think, compared to another vest which has fabric-covered plastic buttons). Fits well, a bit on the generous side which is fine.

It was just what I had hope. I love it. Everybody thinks I am a throw-back to the civil war.

Great quality in material and craftsmanship!

Top notch vest! Looks great as indian wars era cowboy action gettup. Quality product very well made. Looks so good I'm wearing it on sundays also. I wear XL in canvas vests to fit shoulders then they fit my belly loose, but the cut on this vest is perfect.

So much more than I expected! I thought my other Frontier Classics vests from Historical Emporium were tops, but this one stands out. Large vests are to snug on my belly, extra larges is what I wear with the adjustment belt in back snugged up some, but the Buchanan vest is just right in extra large. Smooth fit and looks great as an Indian wars era cowboy action getup. This vest will also see action on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings.

This vest is definitely a surprise, and a pleasant one at that. There is just enough wool in the fabric to give it the proper feel. The fact that it is self backed makes it perfect for use without any type of jacket or coat. On top of that it is decidedly comfortable to wear! I purchased this with one very specific use in mind, which required the stand up collar, and Navy Blue was exactly what was needed for the Tartan it was to be worn with. But now that I have it, I'm finding that it works quite well in many other ways. It will be seeing a great deal of use year round. This is definitely worth the extra bit of time that a special order requires.

Nice fit and will be warm/classy look to wear in the winter months ahead.

Im so happy with my vest is so elegant and high quality materials also the buttons everything is so nice for sure i recommend it also fast deliver

The material feels substantial and is really high quality but it is not too hot despite it's thickness. I wore it with a puff tie and dress shirt in low 80s for pictures and while officiating a wedding near Jackson and it was very comfortable the whole time. The unique look and metal buttons get a lot of compliments and the double breasted style looks formal even without a jacket. I am 5'11", 165 and the regular M fit very well. The length is longer than the average vest which really helps it to look great without a jacket.

Bought this with the possibility of sending it back if it wasn't a quality item. When I received it I was impressed with the delivery packaging and the quality of the vest. The workmanship was very good, it was very comfortable and the sizing was great. I ordered a 'Tall' as I like a longer vest and it worked perfectly for me.

I wore my new tweed vest to a recent evening function and was pleased as to the compliments received from both ladies and men. Several men did ask where purchased and with pleasure I gave them this companies name.

Wow.... I received this vest in record time and I am more than pleased with it. I know that I am dressed a cut above the other reinactors I work with . Awesome .

I was worried that this vest might be "costume quality." It definitely is not. This is a well made vest and has received lots of compliments. The grey one will be my next purchase.

An old concept meets new style as The Emporium takes possibly its finest vest and gives it a new look. The double-breasted Cavendish vest is derived from the Walden. And just like the Walden, it has the same handsome appeal, top notch construction and unmatched character. The neutral golden brown color, double breasted front and the herringbone patterned texture immediately enhances any formal or semi-formal attire paired with it. In case you can't tell, I absolutely love this vest and I think you will too.

Good fit, comfortable, old fashion look I wanted. Very satisfied.

The fit is great, the look is just what I expected, and the quality appears to be good. I couldn't be happier with my purchase! Would be nice to have this same vest in green tweed as well.

Hello ..I usually don't send reviews out but because of how happy I am with my vest I will..everyone needs to know that your company is first class when it comes to correspondence and speed of shipping items for starters.. then, at least with this vest, the craftsmanship is superb..absolutely love to wear it ..so comfortable and stylish..I have been racking up compliments..my only thing I could say is please expand your variety of leather vest if possible..I will be watching for something to catch my eye and want to order more items from you..love you guys..thanks

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.

FAST ship! Thank you!

This waistcoat is nothing short of magnificent. I've wanted a white waistcoat for years, and now I have one. One of the amazing things about it it is that the white-on-white brocade has colour-shifting properties that can make the brocade look a pale shade of glacier-blue in the right light. A masterwork.

I have been purchasing form Historical Emporium for several years and have never been anything but completely satisfied with their products or services. I highly recommend them for all your historical product needs.

I wear formal attire, white tie and tails, for symphony concerts. This vest is very comfortable and looks great. Should have gotten one of these 40 years ago...

I bought this vest as I am getting married in December. This vest fits well and looks great with the white tuxedo frock coat and pants I'll be wearing.

Beautiful vest that is well made.

Best purchase I've made,it's a beautiful pice of work,I love it.

This is the seventh Vest I have purchased along with shirts, puff ties and hats over the years! This site matches my style and I have never been disappointed!

Oddly, I bought this to work on the parts of an outfit to be a Scottish Santa Claus. The vest is perfect! I've worn in twice with jeans and a solid color shirt. I like it very much, the quality is solid and I've gotten compliments from men and women. My wife even said, "You need more vests, you look really good in it!"

No occasion. Just love tweed and vests. Haven't worn it yet but look forward to the day I break it out!

My wife gifted me this vest for Christmas, I have to say I'm overjoyed with the material and style. This will be a great vest for date night or any other occasion I need to dress up more than just casual. The fit, the quality, the overall construction, just perfect.

My husband loves it. Every time he wears it he receives compliments.

Very well made with attention to detail.

First time customer and now - Historical Emporium Fan!!! Well made, quality product at a great price. Fast shipping and the fit? PERFECT!

The fall and winter months are rapidly coming upon us and there no better time than to breakout the Aberdeen Tweed Vest - Olive Herringbone for the coming colder months ahead. The olive green color is as lush and lively as a bountiful grassy field on a brisk fall day. And its rough but stunning texture harkens with character and gentlemanly appeal. The olive hue gives the vest a sleek air of serious sophistication. If you are looking for a vest that will give your outfit that polished and refined appearance then this vest is definitely for you. It can be worn to formal, informal or semi formal events and its mid weight and breathable construction allows it to be worn year round. Well done Emporium!

I purchased this vest for my husband for Christmas. He absolutely loves it, and so do I! It was a joy to work with your staff. I had several calls to get the info I needed. Unfortunately I ordered the size he told me and it was too small. Your team sent me the larger size with one simple phone call and it is perfect in everyway. Barbara

When I ordered this I wasn't sure if I'd like it. From the instant I tried it on I've not stopped saying "WOW!!!!" The leather is soft and drapes perfectly. The color is true black. The buttons and the pockets are just the way they should be. I'm going to order it in brown as soon as I'm done writing this review. Excellent product!

Leather is butter soft. Sizing is perfect. Gave to my son as Christmas gift and he loves it!

I bought this vest for my husband for is birthday. It is beautiful soft leather and fits very well. The fact that you can order this in chest sizes makes this a much better fit rather than small, medium or large. The western style and the details on the vest are very nice.

Was not disappointed with the quality of this Western Single Point Vest. Very happy with the service and speed of receiving this article by UPS expided air freight to Australia.

This is not a work vest. Rather, a nicer go-to-town vest. The leather is great quality, excellent craftsmanship and very nicely shaped. I enjoy a leather vest for many reasons. This one is as fine as any I have ever tried, wore, or examined.

I have wanted this beautiful Rathbone vest from Historical Emporium for a long time, and finally purchased it. It fits and looks great, like everything I have from this wonderful company. It is part of their gray herringbone series, which I have been collecting. I have my eye on a few more wonderful garments from this collection. Highly recommended.

I recently purchased the Grey Herringbone Vest, complete with the Norfolk Jacket and matching trousers. What a great outfit! My arms are just slightly too short for the jacket, but the rest of it fit really well. I can't wait for slightly cooler weather so I can step out in all of it, either for the museum work that I do here in Toronto, Canada, or just for a regular occasion to catch attention. I've bought a lot from Historical Emporium in the past year, and have enjoyed all of it.

I have always had trouble finding a vest that is long enough, and Historical Emporium has what I need. This vest is long, and I didn't even get the tall version. Also, I like this material blend - it looks like wool, and that is the point. The herringbone pattern adds to the effect. All in all, a fine vest to wear to the opera.

Readers; Here is a review from a retired Historical Tailor who has made MANY vest &tc for this, and other, eras, so let wisdom guide your judgement of my Review. NOW! A bit of use of the vest background. I wished a vest to go with my green/grey smooth tweed kilt coat I recently bought. A vest for a kilt must be cut with square fronts, and not points. It is better if its a bit longer than the common lot of vests. So, I studied ALL the vests on the H.E. site and settled on the "Rathbone Vest". It came in good time. I scampered into my bedroom, changed into my kilt, and tried on the vest. Now begins the review of the Item. The length is perfect for a kilt. The material is very good quality(I am also a weaver)and well made. The vest has the TRUE double breasted fashion! Both sets of buttons have holes, so that it can button to either side. Very High Marks for that. Near all double breasted vest/coats Do Not have this historically correct feature. The armscrye {i.e. the hole for your arm to pass thru the vest- is made a bit more open than the originals, but its acceptable for an 'off the rack' reproduction. The all important neck line was made aright. There is no gap between the shirt collar and the vest collar. A vest, made right, shares the same cut of the collar line that the shirt has. The lapels are cut with understanding, and lay well and EVEN, left to right. The vest reveal[the part left open above the last button] is correct for the era. Pockets well...

Excellent quality and fit. The pockets are deep and can accommodate a nice sized pocket watch. It goes down farther over the waist than some of the other styles, fully covering the belt, and the collar is slightly higher. I have bought several vests from these folks and they have all been excellent, but this one looks like it is going to be a favorite.

Very good quality, well made. Not just cosmetic, but the real thing.

If there is one person that can attest to the sheer style and quality of vests made by The Emporium, that person would have to be me. I have purchased over a dozen of their fine vests and with each purchase have added a new retropair of style, beauty and character to my entire wardrobe and this vest is no different. The soothing metallic color, herringbone pattern and double breasted front pairs well with any color and any formal or semi-formal attire. Truly another great creation by The Emporium.
