Yes, I had that trouble too - the firm that supplied both by mail order swapped the vest for me, which was good.

Of the ones I've seen, quite a few of the vests have a polyester pseudo-silk back with a flimsy buckle arrangement to tighten them. If you are after a smart look and may decide to go without the jacket much, then you can buy a waiter's vest which has a regular fabric on both front and rear and doesn't have such a silly rear adjuster. Just a thought, Graham.
