western style braided leather vest
This vest was built with a top quality, full grain moccasin cowhide. The seams, edges, front and back yokes, and pockets were braided with 1/4" wide laces cut from the same leather that the parts of the vests were cut from - strong leather that makes a long lasting garment.
Over the last 40 years, I've custom built hundreds of vests - you can see over 50 of them on my vests home page. While they are all braided, that's pretty much where their similarities end. After seeing the many features I can offer, folks contact me with their own ideas/designs and we discuss how I should build one for them. Each vest ends up truly being a unique, handmade, long lasting, one of a kind piece.
