They don't make it to fit my prodigious frame. I've also spent money for my wife to have a nice sewing machine.

I can't find a pattern that is anywhere near this vest.
You might check out vest patterns on these websites. Not exactly what you're looking for, but it'd be a simple matter to change the shawl collar on the pattern to a notched lapel collar, and just add a pair of pockets to the front.
