Waistcoats wanted

The title says it. I want waistcoats which can be worn to contrast with a two piece suit. I like that look, and I like that one can use it to wear an "office" suit to social occaisions without looking like you're just come from work.

There are three waistcoats I'm specifically looking for. In order of priority:

-A black wool or silk low cut waistcoat to be worn with a dinner jacket according to the guidlines of the black tie dress code. If possible I would like this so I can have it by the 5th April so I can wear it on my birthday, the day afterwards.

-A red wool waistcoat, five or six button. Anything from scarlet to burgundy is OK, as long as it will look nice when paired with a navy suit.

-A grey/brown waistcoat. I want this one for my leather jacket, so it must look good with both a brown leather jacket and grey flannels. This is slightly lower on the priority list, but if anyone has one I'll take it.


I'm a 38" chest, but as I'm slim I can go down a little bit (and up since waistcoats can always be tailored in). However, I am very tall so the length in the back must be at least 58cm or just under 23".

My descriptions for what I'm looking for may be a bit vague so please PM if you have anything which may fit the bill.

Just to give this a bump. I'm desperate for a black dinner jacket waistcoat. Time is running out for me and I'd rather wear a waistcoat than a ***merbund for my birthday.
