Members DieselTech Posted March 20, 2024 Members Report Posted March 20, 2024 Well keep us posted. I'm curious to see how your repair work turns out. Quote
Members MarshalWill Posted March 20, 2024 Members Report Posted March 20, 2024 The little beggars sure did get to that one. It's good to see a garment like that made usable again. Quote
Members MarilynJones Posted March 20, 2024 Members Report Posted March 20, 2024 Wow, it looks like you're taking on quite the project there! Keep up the great work, and please do keep us updated on your progress. Can't wait to see how the final result turns out! Quote

Yes, please let us know! I'm surprised it's salvageable - usually something like that is so contaminated with rat pee and poop that no one wants to save it! Quote
CFM Frodo Posted March 21, 2024 Author CFM Report Posted March 21, 2024 Working on it part time will post pictures next week Quote
CFM Frodo Posted March 22, 2024 Author CFM Report Posted March 22, 2024 Recreating the vest is not that hard cut the stitches. And take it apart use the old pieces as your pattern for the new. Shown is the back and sides, they are pretty much straight forward the back and side old leather is useable for the liner the front will be all new Inside pockets are reusable Quote
