I've bought vests off both these sellers and they are identical apart from the vintage detailing that Charloots applies.

hey @Scaley, can I have an opinion from u about this Warriors vest? in particular the normal version, since they're not selling my size now (M). how do u feel it? does it fit well?

question for all the other guys who are more expert than me on replica vests: can you guys tell me what for u is the best replica they sell and where/how i could get one? ive always liked the idea to have a vest for me, hhehe!

thanks to everyone in advance!

All the current ebay sellers that have vests for sale, are selling near identical products. All the vests come from the same Pakistan company. Although they've done a few tweaks in the past few years, the shape of the vest has remained the same. My opinion, I find the angle of the shoulder to the chest to be too high an angle. It should be steeper so the top button isn't so high. This chest angle affects the bottom of the vest which doesnt quite fit low enough.
Despite what the sellers write in their sles descriptions, these vests are no way figure hugging. They are far too wide. Ideally, they could do with being trimmed back so the sides end at the tip of the pocket piping.
Charloots vest has the better patch. Thats the one I would go for.
If you want an accurate vest, you'll either have to get one custome made or spend £6000 on a screen worn one.

The charloots vest is the best fit for me size large, I'm 6 ft 2" and 44 chest and it's about as "tailored" a fit as I could hope for, as ninth has stated the cut isn't perfect but the charloots one is as good a fit as I could hope for and is pretty snug, also the skull on my charloots vest isn't as "elongated" as it used to be on earlier vests. The first vest I bought was from 2sa23 and that was an extra large (on his advice) but it was too wide around the chest and hung out under the arms, I'd say get an extra large if your around a 46" chest. I've also got a game vest from Satan's Mother (size large) and it's exactly the same as the other two and the same fit as the charloots size large. I've got a soft spot for the game vest and wouldn't mind a *vintaged" version of that. All in all my favourite is the charloots vest due to the fit and the "vintage" look which I wouldn't be brave enough to attempt myself (plus I got it for $119 which I thought was a bargain!). Hope this answers NComics question. I'm pretty sure charloots will sort out a medium vest for you if you contact him direct, I'd recommend him.

a lot of thanks to u guys for ur help, its much appreciated!

so after i heard from u guys, i think that the Charloots one is probably the way to go. i would really love a vintaged version of that vest.. too bad he doesnt have them anymore.. u think that in the future, him or someone else would have them available again? or anyway, is there a method for 'vintaging' one of those vests?

im 1,76m tall (i think it would be kinda 5,7"... maybe) and kind of 95cm chest (37".. i guess), so i think that a M for me would do the trick, what do u think? i want it to be nice and fitted, like they fit on the Warriors in the movie, but im afraid that a S one would be too small.

the game vest satansmothers had was pretty cool. of course i prefer the original movie logo, but i like the game one too and that vest was really nice looking.

NComics, have you contacted charloots? He has vests for sale all the time, drop him an email I'm sure he'll be able to sort a vest out for you. If you get a vest from somewhere else there are plenty of threads on here advising how to give your vest a vintage or soiled look, good luck with whatever vest you choose.

ive just contacted 2sa23 (thats the right guy, no?) and he told me that the ones with vintage look are just custom ones. he didnt tell me if he will be able to get some vintaged ones again. i dont know now. i dunno if id like to tempt a vintaging thing myself.. i have to think about it. thanks a lot ;)

2sa23 is a different guy, I think he's base in Arizona. charloots is based on Coney Island. The links are both for charloots though I found 2sa23 a good guy to do business with.
