Thanks, DWFII. I have seen the high gorge, notched lapel waistcoats, but I was thinking of something a little different.
There's no notched lapel on the waistcoat, and it has a high wide "V" shape; about as high as some of the pull over sweater vests. I would guess that there are a few more buttons, too. The two sides of the waistcoat closure would probably cross between the second and third button of a shirt. And now that I think about it, the pictures I'm remembering probably were from the early nineteen-hundreds.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Actually I can see no reason not to wear a four-in-hand tie even with a high gorge vest. I seem to remember my Father in suits that were all one fabric, coat, trousers, waistcoats and four-in-hand ties (probably made in the 1920-1935 era). The gorge on the vests were about what one would see on a v-neck sweater.
