Custom Upland Vest I'm Working on
Custom Upland Vest I'm Working on
A vest I'm working on:
I'm about 75% done.

I hope you are doing it in Blaze Orange. Safety should always be our first concern plus many states require it.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

I second it!
Perfect!.Now to find someone to make a several for you, add a Gun Dog forum patch to it, maybe an embroidery......come up with a price...and send two out to Oklahoma!
I used to live in Ohio, the Amish out there would pound those out for you in no time. I sold harnesses, collars and leashes made by them at trrals.

i like it too grant. well made!! i think it not only looks like it will more than get the job done in the field, but it looks like it will be warm and will get more comfortable with each washing. good call on the patch too! and now, along with your t shirt and vest, you can make visors with your gdf patch (you could even offer one in blaze orange!!) together, they could be the ultimate gdf ensemble
Looks real good, Grant...who's got the sewing talent in the house? You might want to think about putting a pocket in for holding the remote for the e-collars. Also, a big enough pocket in the back to hold all the birds that we get! It looks like you've made it out of corduroy and flannel? Is that going to be rugged enough? Maybe adjustable sides for the bigger/smaller folks? You sure do keep a lot of irons in the fire, don't you? Cool!
Has to blaze orange in IL and Iowa just passed the law this year thay blaze is required. I believe WI also requires it for upland junting. And all of them require it for deer hunting.

When I was in Jr. High we took a field trip to Springfield and saw the IL Congress in action. I was actually there when they passed the law requiring the use of blaze orange. Making your own vest is a really good idea to get the functionality you need at an affordable price (those upland vests are expensive!). I'll have to look into that now.

i love it!!! you are right about the corduroy not holding up to real rough terrain, but it would be great if you were just training or not getting into any serious briars ... a great "out for a quick training session after work" vest. i think it looks awesome!! i am super impressed with your (and lindsay's) sewing skills!! how's that camo purse coming along?? way to go y'all !! you will have your own line before long!!!
