Simplicity 1506 Waistcoat
Simplicity 1506 Waistcoat: Big and Tall Boy's and Men's Waistcoats Sewing Pattern. I made view B in Scottish tweed in size 2XL This is a very straight forward pattern.

I'd rather put that money and effort towards my next dolly purchase. The solution, as the title suggests, is DIY.
