Yes, I've never seen a waistcoat cut like that. It seems to be some sort of hybrid between a straight-hemmed waistcoat of the Regency period and a modern peak-hemmed waistcoat. The hem appears to be straight across at the very front, framed by two widely-spaced peaks that are nearly covered by the jacket. Quite unique to my experience. Can anyone shed some light on this?
