Silhouette Vest

Post by CZforlife »

Hey guys, I'm going to be ordering a silhouette vest this week or next. What I'm having trouble with is picking a cool 2 color combo, from hardscrabble mountain. I have decided I do want the suede leather, but thats about it. What I'm asking from you guys is, would you guys be willing to take pictures of your vest and post them up here along with the color. All help and ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Baby Huey!!! :-bd

Don't forget to factor in the surcharge for the extra cows Chris will have to euthanize to accomodate your size.

We had a guy that shot in Phx, later moved to Mo, that was about your size. We almost removed our head gear in memory of the 4 cows and a calf that got offed to put a vest on him.

I like red and black;

I also made a shorter, lightweight in soft light 'doeskin' leather, and lighter, coarser weave light canvas liner, and open back, with lighter colours for Summer,
Cream and Grey;

Not so pretty, but practical in the heat.

Sean...there isn't any serious heat in NZ, not like the heat and humidity in south FLorida. I agree with you on the color combinations...darker are easier on dirt but hot in the sun (NM, AZ and of course FL)

Too right,
but,
Made for Aus as well,...got fried a few times there !
and,
we shoot in direct sunlight on occasions here, with no cover on some ranges,
so it get's pretty warm.
I use it mostly on our airgun range which has no cover, ..... for rifle and pistol.

The red and black is heavier suede and liner than the 'BrokeBarrel' Mountain one, so it can get pretty hot.
