Aspire, are you looking for a RTW one?

Favourbrook has a good selection.

in addition to the above you could try David Saxby on the Fulham Road (just south of Putney Bridge). Hackett have a nice d/b job in a light grey herringbone too, but I've only seen it at their Jermyn Street store.

However I'd be careful of mix & matching morning wear from different suppliers, the way the 3 parts of the dress work together is important in creating a balance.

Dear all,

I've already check the websites that you are suggesting, but as you can see the waistcoats are made of a dark gray fabric:





That is quite darker if compared to the color that I'm looking for:



Unfortunately I can buy only from online stores since I don't live in the UK .

I know Favourbrook will offer a MTM service for morning wear and if you were to contact them and ask if they could make a waistcoat to X size in a lighter grey material it may be possible. Worth a try anyway.

Try Pakeman Catto Carter; Looks pale grey to me.
Your tailor will run you up something much better I am sure.

Agreed. In your situation, your best bet for a good-looking DB waistcoat seems to be with a local tailor.
It's not a handkerchief, it's a specialty item that needs to be tailored on you to look good. Especially since you have a precise model and colour in mind (and a nice one, I might add), it's highly improbable that you will find it RTW. Even if you do, you'll almost surely need to have it altered by a tailor to improve the fit.
I just hope you didn't realize now that you need it tomorrow. Don't waste any more time, go find a tailor
