Tramps Leatherworking Report post Posted January 18, 2015 Depends on the style of vest --- if it is a gambler style vest, I hem the arm holes and all edges. If it is a cut-off style (SOA) I use binder tape on the arm holes, and neck, and hem all the edges. I usually put a full length front separating zipper in the SOA style vests, and hidden snaps in the zipper flap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tramps Leatherworking Report post Posted January 18, 2015 I only do leatherwork on a bespoke basis, so I make my own patterns based on the customers measurements. You can get a vest and chap pattern book at http://www.sbearstradingpost.com/ under "Books"... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
