Survey Vest, prototype

Designed to hold just about everything I need for a days hike in the woods.  Just need to work on a water bottle pocket, hidden hand pockets, and a few design and fitting elements.

Cone Mills selvedge canvas, vintage army buttons.

Custom Vest, Cone Mills Canvas

Really cool design that this customer came up with.  The pocket tops where a fun challenge.

Constructed using vintage sewing machines from the 1920's and 1940's.

Railroad Vest, v.2

I'm pretty happy with this one.  Same Japanese selvedge denim, courtesy of Slowboat Deadstock, this time with a few selvedge chambray details.

Next step is to grade it into different sizes.  Then I'll see if I can afford to order some interesting Cone Mills selvedge twill and 2x1 denim I've been looking at.  Then try and do a small run, probably just one of each size.
