Look Right. Stand Apart.
You don’t settle for “good enough.”
You build an impression that holds up in every photograph.
The Excelsior Vest gives you that edge. Whether you’re portraying military or civilian life of the 1860s, this piece helps you look like you belong there—not like you’re visiting.
Why it works for you:
- Correct 1860s style – high-rise, fold-down collar seen in period images
- Distinctive cloth – variegated jean-style fabric (50% wool / 50% cotton), custom woven for SUM
- Sharper look – a less common alternative to the typical shawl collar vest
- Authentic details – plain brass dome buttons and hand-sewn buttonholes
- Proper construction – brown polished cotton lining and backing
- Belted back – adjust your fit, keep a clean silhouette
This vest doesn’t blend in with the usual kit. It quietly sets you apart—because the details are right.
No waiting. No guessing.
If you can add it to your cart, it’s in stock and ready to ship.
