help with vest design please.
I am sitting here with my new vest. i have some crests that I have placed on it, moved them around etc. Because it's leather, once I start sewing them on there is no turning back because the holes will never fill back in unlike blue jean material. Gotta get it right the first time.
I dont want too much crap on it, just the right amount in the right places & alot of the stuff I have is from my army days like airbourne wings, special forces wings etc.
Any advise or pic's from my brothers out there would be awesome!!
Thanks!

Continue to arrange and re-arrange until you satisfied with the looks. Take a look at other peoples vests. Of course they will all be different. That's what put the personal touch to our vests. Sometimes I use a small piece of double back tape and temporarily stick them on and put the vest on to see how it looks in a mirror.

Just remember the one piece of protocol. If you put an American flag patch on it, the blue field goes closest to the heart, and NOTHING gets put above it.
Double sided tape or rolled up scotch tape is a good idea to place them and have a looksee. Just remember that if you want to spread them out a bit, at least leave enough room for other patches to fill in the gaps, should you want to add more.

Did the tape thing until I had it just right & now Im sewing them on. Bit of a job having to use pliers to pull the needle through but Im half way done on the front.
thanks for your suggestions!

Keep the back simple. You may want to make room somewhere on the front for a "Broken Wings" patch for if/when you crash, if you haven't already. Some ******* ran a stop sign a few months ago - I earned mine. May get a CVO Fat Bob out of it.
