custom made brown leather vest with a zipper
This vest was built with top quality, full grain moccasin cowhide. The seams, edges, yokes, and pockets of this vest are all constructed with the braiding of pearl colored 1/4" laces - the same kind of leather that the vest parts were cut from.
The vest also has (what I call) a draft flap - the 3" extension of it's back/bottom. These extensions have become quite popular ...and, I've now done them with several different curves. While you can't see that draft flap very well in this picture - you can see it on other vests pictured on my vests home page.
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 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.
