There is some work to do on the canvas, yes. You cut it, sew a dart in it, reinforce the edged with this edge tape/stay tape, then fold the main fabric over the edges and secure it with a lose herringbone stitch. Less work than a jacket, though, but may be the same if you add a lapel and collar.

Time spent:
4h - constructing pattern, cutting it
1h - ironing
2h - cutting the parts
2h - sewing darts
1h - attaching the back
2h - cutting pocket parts and back belts
1h - sewing breast pocket
2h - sewing front pockets
1h - basting interlining
1h - finishing the back seams
2h - adding edge tape to the front edges
2h - connecting the outer fabric to the canvas
5h - attaching the lining
2h - button holes and buttons

The waistcoat is coming along, here is a detail of the inner construction. Probably did this "wrong", as the layer order is outer-pockets-canvas-lining in my case, but usually it is outer-canvas-pockets-lining. The reason for this change is that my relatively thick linen canvas, instead of horsehair interlining, would make the pockets really bulky. Once it's done I'll post a comparison to my cheap RTW waistcoat.
