Have you purchased from this store before? These waistcoats are not quite as long as normal vests. If you look at the trousers they sell, their historical trousers have a higher rise.
Many of the waistcoats are listed as having a back length of ~22". My Argyll waistcoat is 21" long in back. My older vests (for wearing with slacks) are 23" in back. And given that many of the waistcoats are straight cut, that effectively raises the front edge by a small amount. I may buy one (at some point in the future) and give it a try.
Trying to look good on a budget.
