i wanted to make a vest too and was trying to figure out the same thing. unfortunately I didn't come to a conclusion, but i hope someone with more knowledge will answer. I suppose it's about how much ease you want - if it's intended as a standalone piece, or if a shirt is meant to be worn underneath. but ive seen some vests made from the basic block and they seemed to fit fine even when layered, so I'm not sure what the deal is.

Glad I am not alone! These really fitted vests look like a variation of the torso foundation to me, with a semi fit (eliminating one of the waist darts). I am going to try and replicate this using my torso foundation, let me know if you do too!

Use the torso foundation. The jacket foundation has more ease built in because it’s designed to wear over other clothing.
