    Tweed vests

    I'm looking to buy a tweed vest,
    The thing is everywhere I've looked only has them in a few solid colors.
    I'm looking to buy something that looks more 'tweedish,' with greys and browns.
    Anyone know who has them? I really appreciate any help.

    If you like the old-time lapelled style, some very cool vests here, including some interesting tweed types....

    We sell 5-button vests made in one of nine Ettrick tweed patterns for $175 here:

    Also, I really like the Ebay seller bookster1uk for a source of country tweed jackets and vests. Here is a direct link to the waistcoats they have currently listed, which at the moment all seem to be a size 38.

    They have an actual store where you can purshase made-to-order goods, as well:

    Though the prices are obviously better on their Ebay items, the downside is you are limited to what they have listed. Again, here is a direct link to their waistcoats. Some really nice looking patterns available!
