But you might have to take it to a place that specializes in leather garments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1483882 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 17:06:23 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1483882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a question for our stitchers &amp; sewers, but I am wondering if you could pick up a vintage leather jacket from thrift or consignment for cheap, and have a tailor give it a sleeve-ectomy? &nbsp; Some of my favorite leather workhorse pieces have come from Goodwill or the clearance rack at nicer consignment shops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1483869 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 16:56:47 +0000 abc 1483869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With most etsy sellers I think you can provide measurements so you shouldn't have a fit issue. Looks like you have some options here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1483854 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 16:53:55 +0000 kkards 1483854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i knew i should open this --Sveta, i love that vest! can't wait to see it styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1483727 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 16:24:55 +0000 Sveta 1483727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got the BR monogram yesterday&nbsp; - it is very lovely. Basically it is a sleeveless moto jacket - not a shell. It has 2 ways to zipper it up - for more fitted or boxier fit - quite ingenious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1483506 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 15:17:01 +0000 Aziraphale 1483506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marilyn -- actually I quite like that. It's not what I had in mind, but when I'm next in BR, I might try one on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1483422 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:51:28 +0000 Marilyn 1483422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This isn't leather but it's drapey.&nbsp; I haven't seen it yet....new addition at Banana Republic.</p> <p>Drapey Vest<br /><a href="http://bananarepublic.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?cid=1027264&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=403675013" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gapcanad.....=403675013</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1482538 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 05:01:05 +0000 Aziraphale 1482538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't actually have anything specific in mind. I was sort of thinking something drapey and soft, but a short sleeveless moto jacket would also be great, in an edgier way. It's one of those "I know it when I see it" kind of things (or, rather, I'll know it when i try it on).</p> <p>But any suggestions are appreciated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1482534 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 04:51:40 +0000 catgirl 1482534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because I have extremely unaffordable taste.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; I can't afford it either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1482533 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 04:45:16 +0000 catgirl 1482533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What style are looking for?&nbsp; Like a men's suit vest, or a moto, or a draped arty look?&nbsp; Can you point us to something inspirational?&nbsp; This is a hunt I'm happy to take on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1482532 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 04:42:54 +0000 Aziraphale 1482532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gah.

I never even thought of Etsy. We do have it. But I don't know what the deal is with buying stuff and then returning it if it doesn't fit...isnt' it mostly private artisan-made stuff?</p> <p>Jackie, we do have BR -- maybe I'll try there. I like the idea of a drapey one. I'll have a look back through recent blog posts to see if I can find what Angie posted.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1482381 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 22:07:32 +0000 jackiec 1482381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Didn't Angie link a BR one recently? Too bad Danier doesn't have one. They should! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1482374 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 21:59:57 +0000 abc 1482374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe try etsy? There's etsy in Canada right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-waistcoatvest#post-1482224 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 16:22:56 +0000 Aziraphale 1482224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would like a leather waistcoat. Do any of you UWPs out there have any suggestions? I can't order from the US, in general, because return shipping makes it not worth it -- but if you have any ideas for shops I could check out, that would be great! I already checked Danier leather, but they have nothing at the moment. </p>
