and I'm hoping someone out there may be able to assist me!!

My brother-in-law apparently wants a brown suede waistcoat. You know, the type that used to be fashionable years ago with a silky back. Don't ask why, he's just got it into his head, he wants one. I've spent the last hour on google to no avail.

Anybody got any ideas of where to look or possible links?

I've had my eye on ebay for a while - no joy as yet, but will keep looking.

Lyn - cheers for that, maybe he's more trendy than I think!!!

Have you tried places like Austin Reed or Moss Bros? Would have thought any traditional gents outfitters would have them.
