Frodo Report post Posted February 26, 2023 Grey is cool. I would not use it on a vest but a bag would be fantastic i sold one of the vests yesterday at a flea market for $150. That sounds cheap but no liner no pockets. with liner and pockets is $225.00 as much pita as a liner is I prefer they not want it. Lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doc Reaper Report post Posted February 27, 2023 Be careful on garments for children when the leather is made in China, they do not care about what chemicals come in contact with our children, unless they get caught Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frodo Report post Posted February 27, 2023 Well Doc their in lies the rub the pattern said size 6.8.10 it did not say children and in all honesty Neither did it say womans I still need a pattern for woman, in my opinion. A paten is not going to spend $150 plus on a vest that will be outgrown in 6 mths. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see up in that first post it says a SIZE 2, plus where your at out in the middle of nowhere, keep your eye open for a dead couch and skin the Naugahyde off it, just make sure it’s bedbug free Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frodo Report post Posted February 28, 2023 Yes I made the vest and put it on a 2 year old after I chased her all over the room then I used my power to declare this pattern to be a size 2. Not the 6 that is on the pattern pak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice vest by the way although I cannot understand why anyone would want to wear one. To me it's the most useless piece of apparel ever dreamed up.

lorenejackson Report post Posted March 20, 2023 I recently purchased a leather vest for my son and I am so glad I chose the lambskin leather option. It is soft, durable and perfect for my son's age. He loves wearing it and it fits him comfortably. The quality of the leather is excellent and I would definitely recommend this vest to anyone looking to buy leather clothing for their children.

SUP Report post Posted March 23, 2023 Vests have their uses - especially those with lots of pockets. I found one in a consignment shop and wear it all the time when I go to estate sales and flea markets. I can carry everything in my zippered pockets and can be hands free. Better than stuffing everything in my jeans pockets or carrying a handbag. Probably will need a lighter one for summer though but this works through the fall and spring.
