Well I'm roughly 6 ft 1 and between 212 to 225 depending upon time of year etc. If you will be using a dark grey leather, that would be perfect for my custom as my armor and flightsuit beneath are dark grey. I've been searching for a quality craftsman to make a nice vest for me, hopefully at a mutually fair and reasonable price. What do you think, would you be able to create one for me-with some more specific measurements of course. Just let me know when you've nailed down a price for the vest and shipping.
Oh, I'm not certain where you purchase your leather, but I met a wholesaler who sells many different types of leather, furs, and pelts of different grades. If you'd like to check their site out I can PM it to you, or anyone else as well. Just let me know.
