Where can I find a vintage style, “u-cut”, low gorge, tuxedo vest?

Vest must be “U-Cut” in the front, meaning it shows a lot of the front of the shirt and is not seen at all when the jacket is buttoned.

The vest you want is indeed a wondrous thing. Unfortunately, the formalwear industry has gone over entirely to high-cut three-piece-suit vests which show far too little shirt. It’s hard to find a good single-breasted one, and virtually impossible to find a double-breasted one.

To prove that they do exist, here’s a picture of Brad Pitt wearing one on the red carpet:

I’ve looked far and wide for a classic vest. Here’s one; it’s single-breasted v-shaped, but the cut is right:

The same model on a mannequin (avoid this site):

Here’s another, double-breasted but still v-shaped. In the black paisley, it may be as close as you will get:

Unfortunately, I can’t tell if it’s even for sale.

Update: Here are some more. Still v-shaped, but low-cut and some of them double-breasted. (From a site that also offers tux shirts with stiff fronts and detachable collars: these gents know what they’re doing.)

If you’re dead set on the u-shape, it may be simpler and more reliable to find a good tailor to make you one. It won’t be too cheap, but it will look smashing.
