I like the look, but I haven't worn it yet, I belong to an Old West Fast Draw Association. Will wear it when I compete.

Will be wearing to my grandson's wedding. Will be the most stylish grandpa there !!!

Needed a vest for Point Fermin Lighthouse event - this was perfect fit and construction. Replaced the buttons with US Lighthouse originals. A+ product and service form Historical Emporium.

Great for dressing up summer clothing!

This is the perfect everyday vest, I had to get the extra large and I’m glad I did. It fits me perfectly in the pecs and tapers nicely at the waist utilizing the strap in the back to tighten the look. XL fit best, I’m 5’11 broad shouldered at 220. Quality dense fabric gives this an authentic look of a Wild West/Victorian working vest.

Historical Emporium has a knack of having a the most unique line of fashionable cloths on the planet. The Abilene vest is one of them. A very well made vest and it looks great. It lends itself to bringing a little class to any function you attend. Personally, I prefer natural fibers with the same backing as the front, longer "tall" versions and front-peaks, and wish that these features be extended throughout many of their lines, but the straight cut work vest also has its place. I highly recommend this vest to anyone who wants to improve their appearance and reputation.

I have decided in my old age to wear vests every chance I get. I bought this one to have a navy blue vest. The quality is excellent. The fit is true to size. I have worn it twice now out into the world and have received many compliments. Highly recommend.

A perfect waistcoat for everyday wear, and also for wearing with a kilt. Nice tailoring, fits well, and is very comfortable. Not quite as stiff as the similar canvas vests (which soften with wearing), a bit lighter, and just a little more formal. Colours go well with many of the shirts available trough Historic Emporium. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

The item is lovely, I've been wearing it quite a lot in fact. The color of the item was a bit darker in Real Life than it is on the Picture but it doesn't matter much to me. I still love it. and I still love the quality this store gives

Great vest, but it's a bit hard to iron the old fashioned way. The pockets make it great for organizing all that crap in your pocket. Watch out for guys who are 44 or 46, as they could go L or XL. I got the tight one, but it helps my back.

Nice vest, well built, good fit. I have had lots of compliments, thanks

The vests are amazing great quality and fit. Compliments galore!

Nice fit, good looking, hope to order more items in future.

I originally purchased this vest as part of a Victorian outfit to wear at a special occasion, but I like it so much that it's become a regular part of my wardrobe.

i saw 5 years ago on the internet the historical emporium page, iwas really impressed,the clothing are very nice, very well made respecting theVictorian era.........ipersonally wear just the cotton vests, because iwear denim every day, but those vest are very well made, excellent cut .fabric and so on........even with denim those vests look totally togheter with jeans, cusual but elegant!!!!!i hope more man they will start to wear vests again like in the past...when the man's were elegant!!!!!!

I bought this to wear on a cruise which sponsored a Roaring 20s evening. Fits great and looks good for the occasion.

Classic car event

After much searching I found the perfect vest here. Fits well and is very well made. I gave gotten several vests from other places, and that is not the case. I couldn't have asked for better than I got here. And I will definately order a couple more!

My second vest of this style (outgrew the first, it's still in good shape). Quality of everything I have bought from Historical Emporium is excellent. After ordering I learned I would need it earlier than expected and standard shipping might not work. I called customer service to see if I could upgrade to expedited shipping. Customer Service looked up my order and assured me it would arrive on time with standard shipping, in fact it arrived a day earlier than expected. They could have charged me the extra shipping fee and I would have never known the difference. It is so nice to do business with an honest company that offers great products.

Love this vest. It's been hard for me to find a vest that will fit. I'm 5'9" and wear a 2xlt shirt due to having a bit longer torso. I just wish it was available in more colors..I wear it to church and any occasion that calls for a more formal attire...

Wedding, great quality and the perfect flair of class!

excellent quality and frankly better than i expect given the price. I'll shop here again,

Made just a little big width. I will have to take it for alteration. It is a nice authentic vest for any occasion.

The lighter weight but woolen mix makes for a good semi-formal wear. Added a modern point collar shirt with a tie and collar clip for a routine bread and butter outfit. Cut and collar were perfect.

I tend to grit my teeth if I have to spend more than $50 for a vest, but I've got to admit it's very well made. Quality material and stitching. So much so, that after I received the double breasted herringbone vest, I was so impressed with it that I bought the single breasted herringbone vest as well.

Its pretty dark for being "gray". I do like the metallic buttons and the quality overall is very nice, but should be considering its 3x the $ of every other vest I looked at. Biggest complaint and very disappointed that the backing was a black linen material, fairly thick and heavy which made it very hot. All the pictures showed a light gray backing which was highly desired to match with the rest of the wedding attire. Unfortunate.

Exactly what I wanted and the craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing! I actually ordered the wrong size (first time customer) so I sent it back for an exchange. The turn around on the exchange was lightning fast!

I love this vest! I provides a nice sense of dignity and elegance to my wardrobe and I'm pretty sure my IQ goes up when I wear it. It's comfortable, seems very well made. For example, even the back is substantial, unlike the chintzy material that so many use! Now I just need to find a quality pocket watch!

This is just what I was looking for. The vest seems sturdy, built to last. The blend feels nice-- a touch of wool (25%) but not so much that would make it too warm to wear indoors. I wear this as everyday work wardrobe, not as a costume, so I need something that will last. It's also available in tall sizes, which I need, and which are really hard to find in a lapel vest. I buy vests regularly, but am disappointed with most of them. And most cost more than this one. This vest I am extremely happy with. I may even buy another one--something I never do with clothes. It's that good.

Great character garment, I have always admired the character clothes of actors in the old westerns, from great actors to the B-class movies. I reccomend this company for the quality and impressive results in recreating them so well. Checking sizes will help you, however you will not find better than this company anywhere in my impression. Thanks again.

Sizes run very small. Other then that nice!

I love this vest, just what I was looking for. Very well made like a nice suit, Dress quality not costume quality. Material has a great feel to it. Fits as anticipated.

lovely vest fits great and well made and fast shipping

Looks great, high quality, and great fit. I'm 5' 11" and have a typical middle-aged man's "executive" build. The XL is slightly large but it's just what I need to be comfortable all day.

This vest has proven itself through regular use and is an excellent addition to my wardrobe.

This vest, as with all the vests I've ordered, is comfortable and functional. I wear it as everyday wear and it's nice enough to wear to church with my Sunday go to meeting clothes.

Very well made! Extremely pleased with this. Have worn it several times to pretty formal occasions. The fabric is wonderful too!

A well made, handsome vest.

Excellent quality for the price. Received in a very timely manner. The only down side is that it is a little tighter across the chest than other vests I have ordered that were listed as the same size. If you are between sizes, you might be much better off ordering the next size larger.

The vest and matching items made for a perfect historical outfit.

fits perfect

Speedy delivery. Excellent Product. Thank You

Yet another great addition to my repertoire of vests courtesy of The Emporium. This sleek, smooth, lightweight masterpiece adds a cool and elegant aura to the most mundane outfit. Character and chic exudes while donning this stylish vest. Simply put, this one is a must have for every gentlemen's wardrobe.

Daily public wear. Can't stand ball caps, camouflage, tactical, tattoos, blue hair, male earrings, torn/shredded jeans, sports wear, or suit styles that 100 million others wear.

Just love it.

Very spiffy. Took two tries to get the size right but it went smooth.

Nice quality , sizing was on point, very happy

I couldn't believe how fast Historical Emporium mailed this to me..... I am so pleased with the Color and quality of this Vest. Everyone at work just fell in love with the dark red color.

I was very pleased and satisfied when the merchandise arrived.

I bought this for my friend and he absolutely loves it. Well made and great color. Third vest I’ve purchased And every one of them are extremely well made and colors are great

Love all 3 of my vests

when you get to the larger sizes, it is sometimes hard to find clothes that fit. well so far everything we have ordered through here has fit. and look great on. this vest is well made and could be worn in everyday life.

I love this vest. The material and workmanship are all first class. The fit was true to size and the adjustment strap in the back kept it snug around my middle. Highly recommended and yes, I would buy it again.

Really nice vest, I will wear it for our Golden Days celebration in late July.

Could not be happier with this vest. Very good quality and the sizing chart worked perfectly. Have purchased a number of items and all have been terrific. Can't wait to wear them out.

Perfect fit and tailoring. Lovely material, very fancy.

The vest is for a mannequin who will be selling popcorn in a display. He will look great in this vest! Thank you for very fast shipping!

You're a heel, if ya don't buy this vest! Don'tcha know that if you're not in the right outfit that ya could get really give your sugar to a sweet moll. Don't be a sucker chum, get your flashy new threads from these fella's because they're on the level. Fiddlesticks to any would be competitors, there knock off threads are applesauce. Only GE has the goods that will have you on the make!

Very nice vest, very pleased with the quality as well as the turn around time with shipping.

The vest I bought is exactly what I needed and looks great.

Very pleased with the vest. Plus the small pockets really do work. the last vest that I bought else were,I had to cut open the pocket & saw a small pocket in by hand, for my pocket watch. I'm sure to be a hit with my vest,and straw hat at the next car show

Ordered for my son for Christmas, was pleasantly surprised at the quality of fabric. The fit was true to size, and my son was very happy.

Wore this as soon as I got it for a Carnival themed wedding. Awesome! Wish you had a bigger size, or it was bigger in the back though.

The vest is exactly as described. Good value plus quick service.

The vests are good quality and very share looking.

This vest is surely a show stopper. Got it for a production of Chicago and it always gets the "wow" from the audience. Makes for an awesome Barbershop Quartet outfit as well. Also, it arrived like lightning, so all around great products and service!

We needed this for a scene with Lincoln. Our actor is tall and thin, and size M fit him perfectly and looked the part. We always have a great experience with Historical Emporium - thanks!

Very comfortable feels like it was made for me by my tailor

Wore it playing music on stage today. Looked great!

Adding the Callahan Vest to my attire, with a puff tie, under a Frock Coat makes quite a statement. People love the look - hopefully, it will entice them to start dressing a up a bit more.

Nice vest. But for the price. I thought it would be a little more thicker material.

Historical Western event, well made

I originally ordered the wrong size, but returned it for the right size. All just using the website information. As for the vest, it is real nice and looked good with my black suit and tie. I have purchase other items from your company and have never been disappointed with any of my purchases.

This waistcoat is beautiful made and fits my son like it was made for him. It is very reasonably priced and we will definitely be ordering again, my son has a very long wish list.

The material is sturdy and well assembled, and the fit is excellent. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product and I will be purchasing more.

i got it long ago and arrived fast, i love it

Having a fondness for fine quality waistcoats, my black ‘Callahan Vest’ is now an elegant member of my collection. I am well pleased with the perfect drape, and the English tailoring in this waistcoat. Compliments abound! Warm regards.

I wanted something special to wear to a conference of mining investors and decided this vest would do the job. It's distinctive without being weird.

This was our second purchase of a vest from Historical Emporium and we were pleased once again. The shipment was very quick and the workmanship of the vest A+.

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.

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.

I got this vest to compliment a full Regency gentlethey's outfit for a photo shoot and the piece arrived in good time and exactly as described. Fit true-to-size, comfortable, and looks great.

I really like the vest. The fabric is lovely and the style is great and it fits well.

I absolutely love this vest! The craftsmanship is very nice compared to store bought vest like murano. Nice full functional double breasted not just a one sided fasten. Comes down very low so can be worn with modern pants with a clean look. From this point forward this is my vest supplier!! Thanks everyone from historical emporium!

Once again, great items and first rate customer service, coming through when my horrible local post failed me. I have bought from them before and will continue to do so again.

Great match with the Brewster frock jacket .... stepping back in time at monthly Virginia City activities ....

Already have the Brush Cotton Sack Coat so I knew the matching vest was going to be perfect, Good fit for me, I like the four pockets.

My husband loves his new vest. The brushed cotton is a very heavy quality material. The vest's short waist makes it very comfortable for daily wear.

I am very happy with my purchase. The vest was top-quality, looked great and I wore it as part of a Halloween western get-up. But I think I will be wearing it all the time now!

I ordered size XL since I wear 46R coat. The vest fits very nicely and looks real good. Quality is outstanding and the service, including packaging, was excellent. I'm very happy with the purchase.

This is my wedding outfit, period accurate because I am getting married in an 1870 Stage and Pony Express stop. Very excited.

Quality was fantastic and arrived very quickly. Exactly what I was looking for.

Of very high quality and enjoyed by most those who I've shown it to, bound to be a show stealer this Halloween!

Surprised at the heavy weight cotton, less akin to costume wear, more like every day work vest. Buttons are large and tight but will probably loosen up over time.

This vest was a birthday gift as I recently returned in-person to my office job. I’ve always loved dressing up for work, but this (incredibly comfortable and durable) vest has elevated my style game to an entirely new level!!! Everything it’s advertised to be and more!

These Livingston Brushed Vest are always a winner. My actor needed two(2)in Black. Vests were in stock and fit perfect. Thanks to the adjustment strap on back of vest. Always a great feature and so very helpful.

All of the items I have received have met or been above expectation. The only issue is this particular vest is too short for my frame. But I do like the style and quality of it! Respectfully, Nathaniel Branch

I ordered a vest, and I was EXTREMELY happy with the product I received. It was shipped VERY quickly, and it was very high quality. I would absolutely order again from them!

I bought this for Mark Twain Days. Lots of people dress in 1860 attire for the event. I look like I just arrived out west during the Comstock Era.

Exactly what I wanted. Excellent fit and fast delivery.

Exactly what I wanted. Excellent fit and fast delivery.

great vest. fits just as it should. measure your widest point when ordering (gut if a bit bigger than chest, lol) Will order another soon in a different color I'm sure

Purchased this vest along with black puff tie and shirt. Rented a cut-a-way coat and trousers. Topped it off with a gambler style hat. The whole outfit came together perfectly! Many compliments!

This is a really great vest. I had no problems wearing it and everything works. It is a bit short, so you really have to hike the pants up otherwise it'll look too small, but overall it's a good purchase.

The vest is exactly as advertised and fits perfectly. I'm wearing it next week to my wedding!

Very stylish. Fits well, but slides forward a bit. A minor issue, otherwise quite pleased.

I love this vest. Its elegant. Fits well and looks sharp.

The vest that I received was of relatively good quality although it is not as good as other purchases made previously from the Emporium. The color looked much like it did on the site so it was as I expected. As it turned out the arm openings did not fit right. The lower part, under the arm, had a lot of excess material. I had to take it and have it altered to fit correctly. Since the item was shipped to me promptly I still have it ready to use for the Christmas holidays.

I have to admit I was a bit hesitant on purchasing this vest. I am a seamstress and the price to build it would have been less expensive. But I am certainly not disappointed in this vest- in fact I would probably purchase another one in a different color. High quality fabric- not the cheap stuff. Perfect fit. Very professional

This vest was of very good quality. The material was beautiful and it fit me very well. I received many compliments on it.
