Anyone know a good vest-maker?

[jducoeur]

For our wedding, Kate is having a dress made out of some lovely green silk. We've been toying with the notion of getting matching vests made for a few of us (me, the fathers, maybe one or two other members of the wedding party), but so far haven't found anyone with really strong vest-making experience.

Anybody have recommendations? We're specifically looking for someone with strong experience with vests per se -- the silk is expensive enough that we don't want someone who is learning on the job -- so recommendations from satisfied customers would be particularly appreciated here...

I believe Cassandra Boell used to make wedding dresses.

If she tells you she CAN, she CAN.

Indeed I have made a number of wedding dresses, but men's-wear is different: harder and I have much less experience doing it, so no go for me for this one. (And thank you for the compliment, goldsquare.)

If he'll do it, Master Adhemar. He makes all his own waistcoats (and often his own shirts).

Wouldn't have occurred to me. Thanks!
