As some of you may know, I've been seeking a good vest for everyday wear for sometime now. Didn't need to be Victorian or Edwardian just functional. Also as some of you may know, my mother has a tendency to drop in my lap the most amazing solutions to things, often without knowing it. Put the two together and you get a nice US Army surplus 3-Season Jacket. Yes I know, your thinking but a jacket isn't a vest. TRUTH, but with the help of Cutco super shears, canvas needles, a few bits of scrap leather & left overs from the Super Shears portion of this project, we end up with THIS!
Well foolish me didn't think to take before pictures & the camera I have borrowed refuses to upload pictures under linux so we get to wait on pictures.
