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!

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.

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 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.

This vest is made of the same matching pinstriped cotton fabric as the Henderson trousers. l ordered the vest because I liked the pants I had ordered previously. Fits great. They go together with a black velvet jacket and black derby hat I have for a Gene Barry "Bat Masterson" look.

The vest is high quality and is the correct size for a 2x.

It is a very comfortable fit and looks great. I highly recommend Historical Emporium's clothing for an authentic and wearable recreation of vintage clothing.

I love this marvelous vest! I bought this to match the Henderson trousers for nights when I want to be extra spiffy. This vest has garnered many compliments in the places I've worn this. It fits perfectly and is a must for any Victorian outfit.

I bought this vest to match the Henderson trousers I bought to complete my outfit for valentines day in the evening for the Philadelphia monster ball. I have worn both the vest and the trousers multiple times since then and constantly get complimented on my outfit. Everyone of my friends says the vest is marvelous and just looks so sharp. I must say, they are whole heartedly correct. The vest fits well and compliments my outfit perfectly.

This will be great for both reenacting and real life! Sized up since will be wearing over other clothes, has a tie in the back so can still get a nice fit.

Original 1880 Town Midland, South Dakota

This is the second vest that I have purchased. I love it as much as my first one, and expect to buy more. Thank you for providing such a well-made product!

Very comfortable and looks great with my walking skirts

Well made. Just right, true to size & a good fit.

can't wait to wear it with my new suit

These are a great addition to a vintage wardrobe. If only there was something to attach to the middle chain, like jewelery or something. Also having a pocket watch on one side means the other chain tends to fall out a fair bit without something weighing it down.

It was just a simple occasion but it looked and felt good with the pocket watch and a picture of my late wife on the chain

Looks and fits GREAT! Can't wait to wear the vest and chain on New Years Eve.
