how do you get it to stay on, yours looks perfect, did you use glue or something[/quote]

I used leather glue that i got a MICHAEL'S ART SUPPY STORE here in the US. I did little bits at a time for the piping. Once it sets, IT SETS!!![/quote]

Good tip, i didn't know about leather glue. Maybe i'll make another vest using glue. Are you using the glue for the rocker and warbird?

It was ALEEN'S LEATHER AND SUEDE GLUE. Very easy to work with. Doesn't dry very fast but sets GREAT when it does. It also drys clear. I paid the same price as listed above @ MICHAEL'S.

I think more like a machine gun. Cuz if it were a shotgun than you would have a lot of jokes for one topic and definitely something would hit, but IMO you shoot alot of rapid fire jokes at different topics and sometimes hit and sometimes miss. Both are pretty messy either way.
