It used 127 film, 4 x 6.5 cm, eight exposures. Look at

have been discontinued a long time ago.

Not necessarily. The OP did not specify the camera. I have a Kodak
from that era that took 116 film.

116 film was a 6,5 x 11 cm, 8 exposures film. Kodak made cameras for
that film and other 6 x 9 cm cameras with back door and pencil for
autographic film but as far as I know, they where not called Vest
Pockat. The pocket should have to be large.

The Kodak Vest Pocket (1912-1926) is 6 x 12 x 2.5 cm.

If your vestpocket takes 127 roll film you can get 127 roll film from
Film for Classics among other sources- they have:
B&W
Efke, ISO 100
8/12
$8.00

Color Print
Kodak Portra NC, ISO 160
8/12
$10.00

Color Slide
Ektachrome E100S
8/12
$12.00

but you will have a tough time getting good slide exposures with that camera.
Film for Classics: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.filmforclassics.com/" target="_blank">http://www.filmforclassics.com/</a>

Better prices (same B&W but lesser quality color print and slide) can
be found at:

Again, assuming you have a 127 size Vest Pocket
