MarshalWill Report post Posted March 20 The little beggars sure did get to that one. It's good to see a garment like that made usable again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frodo Report post Posted March 22 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
