Drake Vest

Got this vest to wear at my "Alice In Wonderland/Mad Tea Party" Wedding - absolutely love it! The material is beautiful, the subtle stripes on the back piece were an unexpected treat. I was thrilled that there were so many sizes available. The fabric is thinnish - this is probably not the vest for every day wear - but it made alternations easy (the vest is very generously sized.)
Excellent vest - REAL pockets

Pockets are sewn very tightly shut, but have faith as they are indeed real. Nice material, good fit, very happy with it!
Much better than 20th century style waistcoats!

The Black Drake Vest is a well cut and elegant vest. For a garment made in China, the quality is surprisingly good. The chinese dragons and phoenixes of the motif, however, are hard to distinguish on this black on black vest. Still, it is still a very elegant motif.

This is a very nice piece of formal wear. I get nothing but compliments on it whenever I go out. The pockets are a bit shallow but other than that i have no complaints.

Though the vest looked nice the pockets were dress only. Fake. I use a pocket watch I had to spend extra to get pockets put in.

The skirt I bought was of very high quality, as were the other items. The pith helmet was even lower cost than ones I've found on other sites!

This stuff, I thought at first, was just reproduction/replica stuff for costume parties, but no, I can see that it is indeed authentic, or at least a very close reproduction true to the original design, and so the items that I purchased here can be used f
