I needed a back up blaze orange hunting vest, but never could find one that fit my requirements, most of them are made out of noisy material. Well I found a 3xl blaze orange sweat shirt at Wally World really cheap and the material is super quiet. So off came the sleeves, and split down the center, all loose edges were hemmed back, the sleeves were turned in to deep petitioned pockets for hand warmers and other sundry items, and is sporting deer antler buttons.
Modern manufacturing is a marvel, but every now and then I like something hand made, kind of a tribute to the older ways that I tend to forget about. My grandmother was a seamstress for the orphanage I grew up in, and I can remember the hours she spent over her sewing machine working on donated clothes to alter them to fit the children, it was a labor of love for her.
