Black as a cloudy night, our Classic Canvas Work Vest will appoint the gentleman with the style of a bygone era. A versatile option for any 19th century wardrobe, add a colorful puff tie or shiny pocket watch to allow a pop of personality to sparkle through.

A real winner in reproduction waistcoats, this one features the flat front, higher neckline and notched lapels seen so frequently in the mid 1800's, give or take a couple decades either way. Adding to the nostalgic charm -- five antiqued brass buttons to fasten the front and four inset pockets to accommodate a pocket watch, a ticket stub or what have you. Cinch self back allows for an adjustable fit and fully lined with a lighterweight fabric. Matched separates also available in several color options.

Constructed from 100% cotton canvas duck. Imported. Machine wash on cold. Available in sizes XS through 5X. Tall sizes are available for those who need extra length in the body.

Part of our Black Canvas Collection.

Well made, long lasting, long wearing
I got this as the replacement of the one that I got a decade ago. I love the old one, and it looks like the new one will work just as well! The old one, by the way, wore and frayed in a way that looks REALLY good!

Amazing vest!!!
The craftsmanship is superb!! I was very impressed with the overall construction and look. So many times when I order big and tall items I'm disappointed. Not with this vest, sizing guide was dead on. Thank you Historical Emporium, you will have me as a customer again!!

It's perfect
I am a pastor and occasionally I have an opportunity to do a service that requires a vintage Parsons outfit. I'm going to be speaking at the 100th anniversary of the Easter sunrise service at a famous rock in my city that has been used by traveling preachers since 1837. My other vest was getting a little too tight so I needed a bigger one.

Dressy even without a coat.
I wear that vest two or three times a week. The upper pocket is for my monocle.

Another satisfied Customer
Very good canvas material and well stitched... Seems durable. I use the items that I buy from Historical Emporium for everyday wear and having access to canvas pants and vests at reasonable prices is very nice. Shipping is fast and customer service is THE best I have delt with lately.... I cannot express how happy I am overall with Customer Service for Historical Emporium. The only small drawback is that sometimes the sizes I want are out of stock at the time I want to order. I have checked back at a later date and been able to find the sizes I want, so I would advise others to be patient and check back.

Classic canvas vest
The vest of a solid working man, not some brocade wearing effeminate banker, a man's man vest. Sturdy, well made, durable. Feels like body armor. Get one.
