And well-made, too--look at the way the stripes line up!

Jovan said:I don't see much point to wearing a waistcoat under a double breasted either way... looks really busy and most are pretty darn high fastening. [huh] Just my opinion.

Maltese Falcon wears one.
They showed up for a little while in the 1970's.

The fact is: It is uncomfortable to sit at a desk uncoated. In an un-air conditioned environment it is also cold to do so in the winter. Therefore, in addition to its above-mentioned social function, it also keeps the wearer warm.

CharlestonBows said:I'll add also that, until relatively recently, shirts were regarded as underwear.

ArrowCollarMan said:I liked the store from Britain, but its far out of my price range! The others were too cowboyish. What I had in mind was more of a long cut, plain white vest (alot like the vest posted on the British website), light cloth, 4 button and no collar. Where I'd look for one outsite custom made, I cannot say. But if it is to be custom made would anyone have an idea where and if so how much? I'm only a kid, I can't really afford anything over $100 and thats about as much as I'd like to pay for something like that.
