Historical Sew Fortnightly #6 Stripes - Man's Victorian Vest

It's another fantasy Victorian that will go with an upcoming fancy dress costume I'm making for him so it's not all that historically accurate.
The Challenge: #6 Stripes - Men's Victorian Vest
Fabric:I used all small bits of stash fabrics for this - black linen for the lining, black silk for the vest back, black cotton velvet for the collar and welt pockeks (what a bear that was!) and some black and silver pinstriped man-made mystery fabric for the front.
Pattern: Buccaro Bobbins Men's Victorian Vests
Year: 1880s-ish
Notions: Interfacing, buttons thread
How historically accurate is it? Not very given the fabric!
Hours to complete: I rarely keep track of this since I usually work on multiple projects at once.
First worn: Will be worn to the Myth Masque Masquerade Ball in May.
Total cost: All stash so free?
