I started this vest about 8 months ago but got sidetracked in between and only just finished it.
This vest started out as a bright yellow postmans leather jacket which a friend of mine gave to me.
Had two major problems with it. 1. It was a size small and didn't fit me and 2. It was bright yellow.
So I cut the whole jacket apart at the seams, removed the sleeves, added some lacing up the side and top to make it larger and painted the whole thing black.
The backpatch and front side is all made out of kangaroo leather, cut, glued and then sewn together.
Added some in progress shots as well.
