For tomorrow I will have new photos of the vest. 

PD: I was trying to make the necklace of Cleon but I still don’t find an important piece.

What's the actual length of the back of the vest?  You have it listed as being 42.5 inches, but thats incorrect because it would come down to your thighs.  The straight_from_coney large size vest is 25 inches.

I don't like the RED under the piping. It is either a little lighter then the actual vest color or just the vest underneath. The red REALLY takes away in my opinion.

The shape of the vest looks better than the last one and the lower pockets are a big improvement.
If the under-colour of the piping has been made in the same way as the Shah meeran vests, it should be no trouble for someone with a bit of tailoring skills to switch the strips for a different shade.  Or even go the whole hog and bust some Lier One piping on it.

I do have almost perfect screen accurate screen used piping (might have a little tweeking) see my post in this section.

I am in no way saying negative things about your work, but it looks like you have the means to make a awsome replica, which we fans deserve. I'd like to give you some things we have found.

VEST COLOR
We have been having MAJOR discussions (those of u who are left) about the screen worn vests. One of the things, is the vests are not REDDISH BROWN , but almost a CAMEL, ORANGE BOWN that was oiled and wet (after the rain scene) and also the filters of the film and appear the REDDISH BROWN. If you look at both the one for sale at golden closet:



And the supposed (it's still up in the air if it is real) SWAN's screen worn which is below, the color is a CAMEL/TAN/ORANGE with oil and vintageing.

PIPING
Your piping looks great, but again I do have piping for sale(had to throw that in). The debate over the color underneath is prob the biggest. Myself and others think there was no color under the piping and it was the lighting that made there appear to be another color. Some think that it is just a little darker color than the actual vest color, maybe to just give it depth.

PATCHES
I am in the patch business and I think your WARBIRD is spot on. I would dirty and vintage it before putting it on the vest to add to the vest. The TOP ROCKER, is another discussion. Some think it is 100% embroidered. If again, you look at the "SWAN screen-worn, it looks more to be a mix of canvas with print and embroidery. I think it has a canvas base, with WARRIORS printed in RED, outlined in a thin BLACK embroidery and a printed line around the whole ROCKER. See below:

but that is still up for discussion. The vest from golden closet has patches added later so they look fully embroidered. I think if you make these changes, yours will fly off the shelves. I do have to commend you on an awsome job.

(sorry for the lateness)

Ninth Delegate:

You are right. I have a mistake in the typing. The real length is 21.25 inches.
I don’t understand which is the style of the Shan Meraan vests.

LIER ONE:

Thanks for all the information.
When I start making this vests I was in the dilemma of making it like it really is  (what is kind of a mystery) or how it looks in the movie. I choose the second because is easier and I can try things like the leather rocker patch of the last vest. Even if I choose to do like “it really is” that would be impossible; although I could do one who looks like “it really is” in a better quality of the original. However my vests are handmade so  I always can make one with all the specifications of the client, e.g.: I recently have a request of a vest with under piping leather in brown.

About the color I already have the brown reddish color but if anybody wants I cant get the camel color because I have find it before.

Bid history: 14 bids  - Winning bid: US $182.50

For the sake of interest, here are the pictures of this vest such that they maintain the proper proportionality - on the eBay ad, the length & width are skewed

hmm thats pretty shocking

care to elaborate?

im just surprised that this vest got 182 and a recent charlieang vest sold for 112. i would think the opposite especially with the red trim -

Even though I think that red under-trim looks a little off, I prefer it over the beige which is too "in your face"  IMO.
I wonder if the buyer knew the vest size as it would be too small for anyone over 5 ft 8.
What does everyone else think to the shape of this vest?

i think this guy should buy piping off Lier

as for the size and length - needs improvement

As of today (1/8/10) the vest is $31!!!  http://cgi.ebay.com/The-Warriors-Leathe ... %26ps%3D63
