SOLD Anyone have any interest in this? I have no idea of the proper way to measure a vest, but this measures 20 1/4" across the widest part of the front and 25" from top front to the point at the bottom. Black and grey in a floral/paisley weave. Full belted back with mop buttons on the belt. Six button front. Since a couple of people have asked...asking $60.00 shipped CONUS

^These are very nice, btw. They retail for ~$250. I saw some at local men's shop Shaia's last week, which also carries Kiton, Barbera, etc.

Carrot and Gibbs makes really really nice stuff... all their bowties I've handled have been asbolutely superb, I imagine the quality extends to their other items.

So would you say by those measurements that it is a small? I wear a size 35-36 in sport coats and I'd be interested if it would fit me or can be easily tailored to fit.

Regards!

Paul

Since the original posting on this, I have found a tag with an M on it, so I would guess it is a medium. If more measurements would help let me know.

It really is a lovely design. It looks like a 19th C waistcoat.

Thanks Tony. Unfortunately I think it will be too big for me. It is an awesome waistcoat - I'm sure someone will snatch it up before long.

I think that's a fair price, and pretty much what mine sold for. I really do think you could pull that off with a suit for an evening out, festive/holiday type function.

I cannot say that i am particulary familiar with this brand but I do like the style of the vest and have a few ties that would go great with it, I don't really get many opertunities to wear my tux but if I had a vest like that I would find a way to get to use it as often as possiable.

As a "bowtielover" you should look into the brand as they are primarily known for their very nice bow ties. Shall I contact you should this sale fall through?
