Looking for good waistcoat/vest brands

I have a hard time buying anything when I don't trust the brand, every time I have gone out on a limb I have been disappointed in the quality. Does anyone know of brands that carry men's waistcoats (particularly if sold separately)? If yall have recommendations for sweater vests that would also be great.

I’m gonna just go ahead and say that orphaned suit vests and waistcoats looking fucking bad. M’lady-core. They’re designed to be worn with a suit that matches. Other vests—outdoors, leather, suede, puffer, ranch vests, etc can definitely be worked into a fit but it’s REALLY gotta be the right fit and right vibe to work well.

I am going to be getting my first suit in a few months and I love the look of traditional 3-piece suits, but the store I will be buying from doesn't carry any outside tuxedos, any place where I could buy somewhat matching waistcoats would be great, particularly if not on the expensive side

Explain this a bit more, there may be something getting lost in translation

I am getting a 2 piece suit but I want a waistcoat that matches But the place I am buying the 2 piece suit from does not sell 3 piece suits

Ah, ok Well, that will likely be a tough find. Even if you find something that sort of matches, it’s probably going to look off in one way or another
