What a great idea
A windproof layer over the top will make that a very usable piece

A little bit more work on the vest, shoulder pad. I have a prob with my S/M it will not go through the pockets and flaps, so i'll have to take it to a lady i know to stitch them on.

That really is looking good Andy

Just picked up my vest from a lovely lady who i got to know locally to stitch the pockets , flaps and button holes for me.

V swish - especially with the bow tie!

 

[Robbi]

that really is looking very good Andy.

Did you leave the outer edge of the pockets unstitched so they could be used as hand warmer pockets ?

 

[John Fenna]

That is looking the business!

I was going to put hand warmers, but the pockets are a little small and with all the stitching i do not think i would get my hands in. The pic is of my youngest son.

Thank you so much guys for the comments

I've just figured out it needs something Andy - it needs two extra buttons so that the pocket flap(s) can be buttined in the "open" position!

Thank you Red, i did not think of that good one.
