The sides are Python skin Dyed red and backed with leather . Then I laced them together. The inner pockets are laced on .The linings pattern glows in the dark...

this is my forth vest and i used a pattern from a vest that was made for me years ago.best thing i can say is use something that is a good fit for u as a pattern.

thanks for the input.the wide lacing on the vest was to look like the bandalaros[bullets]worn in the days of old .
