Members ChaChi Posted January 9, 2009 Members Report Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) I wanted to do a work jacket for myself and ended up buying this letter jacket on ebay. I made all the patches from 9-10 oz leather in my spare time. My wife wants one now for her photography business Edited January 9, 2009 by ChaChi Quote I gotta have more cowbell !!!!

Dags3777 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Thats excellent. Darryl Quote When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised God doesn't work that way, so I stole one and prayed for forgiveness.

Members ChaChi Posted January 15, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks everyone for the compliments. I wear it everywhere now that the frozen tundra seems to have made it's way to Kentucky and I still can't get over the attention it gets. I've passed out more business cards in the last 2 weeks because of it than ever before. I may have even scored a HUGE order while at church on Sunday. While waiting for my youngest daughter to get out of sunday school, I was approached by a guy curious about the jacket and, after explaining it, wants me to design a "buckle-less" belt to be worn at an auto manufacturing plant we have here. They can't wear belts on the production line unless the buckle's in the back, but that makes it difficult during those "urgent" bathroom breaks. Over 6000 employees out there too. Could be busy for a while if all goes well. The best part is that my oldest daughter now wants her name on her letter jacket done in leather. She kind of laughed it off while I was dong mine, but after seeing it, decided she'd rather have one made by me than some chinese kid somewhere. She's the sentimental type anyway so I know it will mean alot to her. Thanks again everybody!! Quote I gotta have more cowbell !!!!
Members ChaChi Posted January 15, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 15, 2009 Now I will be going through my closet to see what I can use for a jacket to put my business on the back!!. I chose a letter jacket because it's wool and can't be washed anyway so I knew I wouldn't destroy it in the washer. I've got a carhartt barn coat that I did a patch on too but it washed all the dye out in the wash. Still looks cool though. Quote I gotta have more cowbell !!!!
