Members dhaverstick Posted December 27, 2013 Members Report Posted December 27, 2013 These are some photos of a leather vest I just finished for the 2014 United Bowhunters of Missouri auction happening this February. It is made from 4 oz buffalo leather, trimmed in deer and lined with fleece. The logo on the back is a collection of leathers; deer, shark, ostrich and embossed cowhide. Everything was sewn by hand using artificial sinew. The size is 44R. To keep the smaller and bigger people from feeling left out, I donated a second vest that will be made to the winner's specifications and my limited artistic ability. Darren Quote
Tree Reaper Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Nice job on the vest Darren, that's a lot of hand stitching. Quote
Members Bibo Posted February 14, 2014 Members Report Posted February 14, 2014 Really great job!! I love your leather vest, it's very original and good tailored! Quote
Members dhaverstick Posted February 14, 2014 Author Members Report Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks, Bibo! It didn't bring as much money in the auction as I had hoped but that's the way it goes sometimes. A friend of mine bought the custom vest I was offering but he bought it with the stipulation that I throw in a leather loincloth. I will have fun with THAT project! I see black and hot pink leather in his near future. Darren Quote
