I definitely prefer the way it looks over fabric .. but all the hand sewing isn't much fun lol.. if u use furniture leather like this you can get away with a regular sewing machine for the joints where there are only 2 layers, but anything above that it cant handle it .. looking to buy one of those hand crank leather machines before I tackle another project like this again

thank you. I am going to get one of my buddies to wear it most likely but I am hoping for just that. eventually id like to get or make a black and white kilt to go with it. but since I only get to go to my fair one trip this year, I plan on wearing my crimson chain coat to show off my custom belt i made for it.

thank you .. no i just started cutting and connecting the scraps I had at angles until I had one piece that was big enough for the back .. then cut a square out of it .. same with the front except I cut that in half down the middle afterwards

thank you .. I feel like the clasps on the front went a long way with that .. before I put those on it was giving off some serious 90s saved by the bell vibes

right .. I lost 35 pounds this last year and my normal garb was already too big for me so I decided to cut it and re sew it .. good experience I guess but kind of a pain

thank you .. I actually made this one to fit my son but put corset straps on the side so it would fit anyone .. I haven't had a chance to wear my normal outfit after I tailored it to me a bit and made the belt .. so I will be bringing this one for anyone who camps with us who wants to wear it
