Vests?

[Astérix]

Can anyone suggest some good quality vests/waist coats?

Depends what you want them for. If it is to wear with jeans, you don't care about brand, and color doesn't matter: try a vintage store.

If you want it to wear with a suit and need a high quality wool-blend, the folks at Styleforum.net will be alot more knowledgeable.

Alternatively, if you want a puffy winter one, you should specify. Or maybe you want a leather one; how about a fleece one (Acronym? Patagonia? Spiewak?).......no one can help you unless you shell out what the hell it is you are looking for......

You will definitely have more luck in a vintage store. I'm reading you want the over all look to be trendy, not corporate. If you want to be edgy get a black military vest! Ha

I am surprised Dior Homme doesn't have one this season or I woulda got it off of Luisa Via Roma... Speaking of vests look at this dude...I've never seen anybody wearing fucking sparkly DH jeans, fucking crazy (who can pull that shit off???)

Wow...surprisingly I came up with nothing...apparently there are not very many decent looking ones let alone in my size (my chest is about 32" around I think)

lol chirs is skinny

Cool vest, I agree thrift stores is the best way to do it, unless of course you really wanna spend 200+ on a J. Lindberg that looks exactly the same.

Every line I can think of has a vest for Fall/Winter 2006. Give your local boutiques another week or two and they'll have something.

Back in the 80's I bought vintage vests from the thrift stores to create the exact look you are going for. You may have a hard time finding your size since they have not been truly popular since the 70's and only fat bankers and used car salesmen wore them. It's tough finding smaller sizes.

I know that H&M has vests, and they're introducing more styles of vests in their fall collection:
