I think you would be best (more quickly) served if you commissioned a tailor to make you one. Find the material you like and any tailor worth the name can sew it up for you. I just had one made from excess material from a commissioned jacket. Tailor charged me $75US for the vest, I supplied the tweed they supplied the rest plus expertise.

Belfastboy makes a good point, but you could always marry a talented lady. When I wanted an evening dress waistcoat to wear with a bow tie & tux, my lady said: "I can make that." So she did: This one looks white in the photos but it's silvery white, and what a lovely job she made of it too.


She has also made me a number of novelty waistcoats over the years, all so different and all garnered much attention:



There is a vintage fashion tailor that might just have the one you are looking for, but I doubt if you will ever find a similar fabric. Try these people: https://www.somelikeitholy.com/1920s-deep-collar-waistcoats-c-1_34.html

My wife is a Prairie gal raised in the household arts...she bakes, sews, spins, knits etc. I brought back my grail tweed from Scotland a few years back to have a jacket made....I asked her if she would consider sewing it up for me. She quickly declined. "I am not taking on that level of stress and you'd be best to find a tailor....it is better for the marriage this way."

You might try looking though Historical Emporium for something similar.

...but you could always marry a talented lady.

In the long run Historical Emporium, Wah Maker & Scully will be a lot cheaper.
