Leather Waistcoat

[IBrown]

I wanted this one http://www.orvis.co.uk/store/product...subcat_id=5531
but at £549 its out of my price range so I decided to make my own. I have a M&S waistcoat and I have used that for the measurements.
Thanks

Ahh, that's not a waistcoat, that's a gilet. That's altogether different. In fact, if you call it a 'Jerkin' then it doesn't have any unfortunate connotations whatsoever.

With the exception that it looks like the kind of thing worn by people who have mullet hairstyles, throw beer cans from trucks, and listen to Billy Ray Cyrus records, of course?

That's far from truth, Larry the Cable Guy doesn't have a mullet!

I can't see the resemblence myself
