I've not seen this make of vest before. Anyone know anything about it other than whats in the product description? Patch design is same as ccWizards but they claim it to be embroided directly into the vest. Shape of the vest looks ok. The back is the same length as the current shar meeran large. Is the picture deceiving or does the vest hang longer at the front? Not keen on the pockets though. If any forum members gets one of these, be sure to give us a review.

in my opinion the pockets look too high...
and the leather piping wouldn't look correct to a galloping horse...
i'm not a fan...
but it looks much more of a slimmer fit than i've seen other vests...

It's looks like the same one that MA-U-RICIO was selling back in July although the trim doesn't look the same as the one in his previous posts..

Carrying on from my last post, if it is one of MA-U-RICIO's the vest now has five buttons instead of four. I can't swear it's from the same guy but the advertisement wording is exactly the same as the one advertised back in July but then I'm only speculating!

the mad Peruvian, aka octaviomaiden returns!
i don't think he intended for his Buy it Now price of $300 to vanish if someone hit the opening bid - it's funny to see it sitting there for 99 cents!

I recently read all this and yes it´s my new best. I don’t use the $300 option because I began with 99 cents. And I like the results so far. About the "mad peruvian" i think is uncalled but I don't want to give you too so much attention.
The article says that the warbird and the warrior’s rocker is directly embroiled. This time I decided to try something different and it looks better however it cost me more. Concerning to the style of the vest it is more slimmer and looks very well; specially when it’ s open. But be careful with the size, all the measures are detailed at the end.
Also I follow some of your advice like the one of “Triscender”. Next time I am thinking to use the information of “Lier One” about the color under diamond piping. I would like to use a lighter color similar to the one of the leather instead of the popular beige. What do you think?
As you can see, the vests are handmade so I appreciate all your advices. Thanks.

If you are going to revise these, I think you should go for a more tan/orange basecolor of the vest. I also don't think there is any color under the piping. I should have samples of my piping next week to post.

that's one of those language-gap, lost-in-translation situations

Credit where credit is due; it is an improvement from the previous vest. Although they're not movie accurate, the buttons don't look out of place.
The pockets are the most noticable fault. They need to be lowered down and the diamonds on its piping, centralised.
If you could get the colour to match that of the old un-dyed A1 vests, that would look better.
Combine the rocker from the previous vest and the warbird from this one.
What is the full measurment of the front of this vest? (from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the point)

Thank for the advices. I will:
* Lower the pockets.
*Use the previous diamonds but with the same wide of the black leather.
* Use the previous bottoms.
* Keep the slimmer fit because it looks like the movie when you are wearing it.
About the color under the leather I find thoose two:

PD: My mistake 4nik8 u.u

The colour of the bottom leather sample is the one I would go for. Its a close match.
Stick with the new warbird that you just used on the vest you sold this week. You won't Find a better warbird than that.

Now I am making the new vest. Thanks for the advices. The measures that 4nik8 gave me are almost the same of the previous diamonds. In Peru we use centimeters instead of inches-> 3/8"= 0.9525 (I used 1.0 cm) and 5/8= 1.5875 centimeters (I used 1.5 cm).
PD: Next time I will bring a surprise with the vest.

...oh yeah, and with soft "drapable" leather
