You’ll commit an old-fashioned faux pas by stepping out of the house without a vest. Our Brushed Cotton Vest prevents the unseemly image of showing (gasp) one’s bare shirt in mixed company. Avoid any awkward situations and welcome the style this must-have piece of vintage men’s fashion brings.

Made of velvety brushed cotton, this waistcoat features a flat front, notched collar, and plenty of pockets for a trolley token, spectacles, or other small furnishings. Part of our matched Collection and available in several colors. The front fastens with five buttons, and the back adjusts with a tab belt.

Imported. Body and lining are made from 100% cotton. Self-backed for extra style. Professionally dry clean only. Available in sizes S–3X.

I love it thanks. These period era clothes should be what everyone wears instead of the boring usual slop we see in society.

Color “Issue”

I purchased the same vest in Black and absolutely love it. Unfortunately the website / my device doesn't accurately show the color. It is essentially brown and not sable which I was looking for. I thought it would be more flexible with other outfits. I will replace it with a few other others, but will call for some direction.

Conversion experience

I now own and wear daily several pairs of 1800s trousers and have acquired this, my second vest. Have never been a vest fan but I am now--this and my other vest are in daily use now and look spectacular--very well made, too.

Good Quality

This is my second time buying an "Old West" vest for my costume as a "Living History" re-enactment player. The first attempt was at another web site and the sizing turned out to be an educated guess, it didn't fit. At the Emporium the sizing instructions were accurate and it fits perfectly! I also appreciate that I can purchase the components of my character/outfit one at a time and still have that continuity that the whole outfit looks like it was purchased together.

Nice vest!

Though the vest is old design it’s looks great with jeans or wearing to work. Fits well. Good quality. Will be buying another one.

Great Vest!

This is a well made vest. The material is a heavy duty cotton and feels like very soft canvas. I gave it 4 stars only because of the plastic buttons. They are heavy duty buttons, but I would have paid more money for a vest with buttons that were more period correct (such as wood or another natural material). Also, the tag on the vest says "Gunslinger Vest" and the brand on the label is Frontier Classics. So it is designed as a western style vest. I was wanting something in a Victorian style to wear with my bowler hat, but it will also go well with my western hat. I ordered a size Large and it fits true to size. I wear a size 42 suit and it was a little big, but was able to adjust it down to my size with the tab belt on the back. Plenty of pockets.

This Vest is Amazing!

Quality is spectacular and the shipping is as if I walked into the store and purchased it, delivery from the west coast was quick like I've never seen.

Customer service top notch, size of clothing was as described. Best to get one size larger as with all dress clothes due to the high waist.

Best clothing company ever!!

Sable Brushed Cotton Vest

Great fit and quality. Very comfortable. This is one of my favorites. I wear it often to work.

THE USUAL HIGH PRAISE

I have purchase numerous shirts, pants ,and vests prior to this purchase. Every piece of clothing has been sized correctly, very well made, and of excellent materials. This vest is no exception to that praise. The shipping service was incredibly fast this time. I do not hesitate to recomend this company and their wares and have numerous times to numerous people. I am a Single Action Shooter Society competitor ( Cowboy action shooting ) . All of the clothing has survived long rugged wear on the shooting range and a great deal of physical activity, with little or no signs of wear. When I want period correct clothing there is no other choice, in my mind -- HISTORIC EMPORIUM

Great Vest for Reasonable Price

This is a great quality, great-looking vest. Sewing quality is outstanding. The material is thick and soft. Buttons are quality, too.
I normally would fall into the Large sizing, which I ordered initially, but had to re-order a Medium, which fit perfectly.

Historic

Wearing this vest is not only comfortable, but remarkably historic. I have only received compliments when I wore it - everyone has asked me more about it, and I've told them right away about the Emporium. Works superbly with a cravat and a pocket watch.
Hopefully, one day, the mainstream fashion can return to this golden age! We can only try.

Just what we needed for our wedding.

We were looking for a vest for my (now) husband. We finally found the right one on the site. We bought 2 sizes as we didn't know which would fit best. We chose the smaller one and returned the larger one. We had a family member take in the vest a bit because it was still a little big, but there is no way my husband would be comfortable in the next size down. All in all the vest was just what he was looking for and he looked great at our wedding!

Wonderful!

Excellent fit for me, look great, well constructed. What more can on say? I would recommend, especially with matching trousers. I look particularly dapper in these at work.

Nice Earth tone

I really like how this can fit into almost any earth tone outfit. Works with tans, olives and browns. The only drawback is the shorter "gunslinger" flat front doesn't work on me as well. However it seems to be very sturdy with strong buttons.

more help on the sizing chart would be appreciated. I think men are getting bigger (sorry) and so what used to be a med could be a large?
Anyway it was a birthday gift much appreciated.

Nice Vest

I purchased this vest with the hope of being able to wear it outside of costuming. I am not disappointed, the fit and finish on the vest is great and assume it will hold up as any garment should. Thanks for great product.

Great Vest

Finally! A vest with pockets! How often do you need a place for a watch, glasses, wallet, business cards, coins, cigars, matches, reenactment paperwork, handkerchief.... Shall I go on? And your trouser pockets are covered by a gun belt? The last four vests I bought had only two pockets (sewed shut) and when opened up, were about 1" deep! Just right to drop your $200.00 period hunter watch on the ground when you bend over. This vest is not only period correct but very well made. I bought two and love them. You won't be sorry, especially at this reasonable price. I am a 42" chest and the 42 - 44 was just right. If you're a 44 better move up one!
