I am fond of the waistcoat, with only a minor concern. The collar is higher than I expected after reviewing the photos provided. Perhaps my neck is shorter than normal. The waistcoat is certainly well made and attractive.
I recently purchased a regency waistcoat. I’m so impressed with its materials and construction! I was pleasantly surprised and impressed that the double row of buttons was attached with tapes! Just as many originals were!
Ordered the 52 as a big guy. Fits well. Enjoy it being in linen with the Florida heat.
