Can your factory make a prototype version wide enough to be made into a belt, or would they need to make hundreds of yards of belts?

They would need to make bunches of yards. They are doing me a favor making the small amount I am prob. going to make.

You can take it to a taylor and they could put it on. If you want to be screen acurate, you would stitch it, not glue (they look stitched on, on the screen worn vests).

I still do not think there was any other color (just the vest) under the piping....just my opinion.

to my eye the diamond holes don't look hollow...the colour underneath sems to be level with the diamonds but i'm just gonna go with a slightly lighter yellowy brown piping underneath...if i can find some that is...
i've actually made some using the same method and it looks quite good but i've only made a small length and it took bloody ages...

To avoid an unnecessary trip, call ahead to make sure it's a tailor that is equipped to handle sewing leather, as some, I'ver found, are not

  Yea, sorry. Not all tailors can do it. They have to do embroidery or stitch leather

It's stitched and glued. The broadside are stiched and the middle glued (maybe the glue make a lighter color). Also i think that the space between diamonds is the same of the length of the diamond cuts only that they have the dots in the middle. It looks very good,  did you use the measures of 4nik8?

Yes, I used 4nik's art, my factory just has to get the spaces correct, which they are doing as we speak.

Just got the art for the revised piping and I think they have it correct now. Should have samples in about a week.
