Color: Blue

You’ll be at once fashionable and fastidious when outfitted in our Humboldt Stripe Vest, a style that legend says hails from the lines found in ledger books used by Victorian-era bankers. By all accounts, a proper and powerful look when paired with our matching trousers.

Fashioned in quality cotton, this pinstripe vest features five vintage-style buttons up the front and four welt pockets for keeping small necessities within reach. The back is made from the same striped fabric and features a belted fastener for proper adjustment; the interior is fully lined in acetate.

Imported. Made with a 100% cotton exterior and acetate lining, self-backed. Professionally dry clean only. Available in sizes S–3X.

Returned Vest

The vest was a little small in the mud section. I have returned the vest and requested a larger size.
Thank you

Humboldt Stripe

This is my new favorite outfit. I feel like a fancy banker or perhaps a mobster. The color is like a worn/distressed navy and the stipes add a dapper touch that accentuates my 6'3" super slim frame. The buttons match the stripes nicely. I feel as the fabric and pattern will wear well for many years. I'm a bit in between sizes, 42" chest, but the medium fits handsomely. 36" waist is my normal, stayed with 36" and they fit great. I do wish the best came in a tall option, but it covers my suspender tabs and waist strap on my trousers. I couldn't wear it with modern waisted pants, but again I'm 6'3" and 190 lbs. I have several vest and trouser sets from Historical Emporium, super excited to finally have something blue.

Humboldt vest

Amazing service, shipping time, and quality of items! I wore the Humboldt striped vest and trousers for my wedding. I will be purchasing more items from this company!

Color

The vest is of course great quality as I have come to expect. Fit is perfect, however with the light on the pictures it gave tje appearance that the color was that of a lighter blue. It is in fact very dark. It is almost a denim vest. Not exactly what I had expected.

Humbolt - well made, runs slightly large

Just got my Humboldt vest, this is a very well made and sharp-looking vest. Nice heavy material, in a dark slate blue/grey, with pleasing stripes. This one does run slightly large - I ordered a XXL, and have a 50" chest and stand 6'2". There is definitely room in the chest, and more in the waist, so order your natural size at the most.

Would definitely recommend this vest.

A vision in stripes! (Part 1)

I've never owned a suit that wasn't black, or a black pinstripe; the Humboldt stripe vest (and matching trousers) makes for an excellent change, and one that stands out and gets you noticed. The fit is generous, the colours compliment each other very well (and the buttons match the stripe perfectly), and the texture of the fabric makes the waistcoat suitable for casual wear, as well as part of something more formal, or as I do, for work, on a regular basis (I match the Humboldt vest and trousers with the Livingston black brushed cotton town coat, black boots and a white shirt and black tie combo as in the pictures above - trust me. It works). If you're thinking of buying it, believe me, it'll make a very fine addition to your wardrobe.

Good Casual vest

This one was a bit more like a blue jean vest than I expected but it works well on more casual work days with khaki's as the stripes blend in to match.

Perfect vest

I purchased this vest to go to a party and it was a instant favorite. Everyone loved it. The material is strong without being too heavy. The look is classic and authentic. Real pockets for accessories is a huge plus for me.

excellent for pocket watch wearers

I purchased this vest so I can more frequently wear my grandfathers Hamilton pocket watch and the vest is excellent. Great construction and plenty of pockets for my watch (Hamilton 974 sidewinder from 1908) as well as glasses, pens notepad etc. I like this vest because it wears great with jeans and is durable for frequent wear. The lapels give it a nice style and I am very pleased with this purchase!

solid product

Nice solid fabric that will hold up over time. Fabric matches the Humboldlt Stripe Pants without any color or pattern deviance. Sizing matches per the chart posted on item page.

Gentleman's Armor

The Victorian Gentleman's armor has got to be symbolized by the vest. The Humboldt Stripe Vest makes you look like sophisticated perfection when matched to the Humboldt trousers. It looks great with black or brown trousers too. The material and craftsmanship match the superb standards of a Emporium merchandise. This is arguably the favourite look among my several Victorian outfits.

love it

Better material and construction than I expected and that is always good!

Dark Color

The blue is darker in person, so underestimate the description when it says "navy blue". The fabric also shines green under yellow light. The pockets on mine weren't sewn shut, which was a great surprise (I hate unpicking). Fantastic vest though, looks great on camera and under regular light.

Positively smashing.

Although the color wasn't as blue as the picture made it seem, I have no complaints. This vest looks fancy, feels fancy, and is one of the best purchases I've made from this site.
