I know they're called Argyle sweater vests, but I can't actually find one that looks more or less like Hisao's. Can anyone help me find his girl charming jacket?

Are you after a sweater vest or a jacket? Make up your mind.
After that, realize KS is a work of fiction and actually wearing an actual sweater vest will get you punched in the vagina because they look stupid.

I'd call it outright essential for a decent Hisao cosplay, though.
That said, I'm thinking that the best way to find one that looks like that is going to be to learn how to knit. This will earn you MASSIVE points in a cosplay contest, but it's also going to take a lot of time.

There's only a few people who can make sweater vests not nerdy and either classy or swagger, depending on how you dress up with the sweater vest in terms of fashion.
Now, if this is for cosplay related, find a similar pattern to the vest and sew it yourself.

You can probably find one in your grandparents' house.

I've only known a couple people that could make a sweater vest look pretty good. You're better off just wearing a regular vest. They look way better imo

You could go look in any mall, really.
They have an exact copy of it in 'arts and crafts' store under the 'sewing department'

If I remember correctly, Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum was selling sweater vests to promote his presidential campaign...

If you live in the US, I know for a fact Express and Tommy Hilfilger has argyle sweatervests
EDIT: Ralph Lauren Polo has them too

They are from a British brand called Fred Perry - they make good polos and windbreaker jacket / scarves but they are quite pricey.

You know, that doesn't look half bad.

Google it. Obviously. This is the internet.

The Sanctorum sweatervest looks retarted, the Fred Perry one is acceptable to me.
