Windrider30 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 Will be adding better pictures tomorrow but this was a major woohoo moment. A first for a lot of things. First time doing the style of braiding, first time for making a waistcoat/vest and its finally DONE!!! took 170 to 180 feet of suede lace to do all the lacing...and there was a LOT lacing!!!!! Way to many pics so just going to throw the link for the imgur album http://imgur.com/a/MoIWL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually got really lucky with finding them as I had already designed and tooled the pockets even before I started looking for the buttons. When I and my wife say those she was said "YOU HAVE TO GET THOSE!!!" so I got those lol it all came out great and there were many firsts for me, from doing the bound button holes (never done any kind of button hole) to the Gaucho style braiding on the seams, only reason I did that was I wanted to cover up the seams and make the waistcoat stand out a little more.
