Willy D Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Hello, I recently re-watched SHANGHAI NOON and there is a character in the movie that is sporting a BUFFALO HIDE vest. Has anyone seen anything like this for sale anywhere and if so, please point me in that direction! Many Thanks! Will Quote

Singin' Sue 71615 Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 You can also talk with Aspen Filly....she is more than an engraver. You didn't mention if you want a REAL hide vest...or a costume vest... If Real...talk with Mad Mountain Mike!!! Quote
Willy D Posted December 15, 2016 Author Posted December 15, 2016 Excellent suggestions, THANK YOU!! Yep its gonna cost about a SCHOFIELD or LEVER RIFLE worth of gold dust, but that is the price of AMERICAN CRAFTSMAN MADE QUALITY!!!

Lunger Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Mad mountain Mike took my buffalo hide, and turned it into an awesome, handfitted buffalo robe coat! I'd talk to him , especially if you have a hide. Quote

Will Mike made my buffalo robe coat and he made my buffalo vest with sleeves also. He is very conscious of keeping it as period correct as you want. One suggestion, if I may is spring for the pockets he does a real nice job on them. Quote

Pockets are an addition I am going to have added to one of his vests I am purchasing "pre-utilized". He thinks he can do the vest that I am wanting at a reasonable price! Thanks again all! Will Quote
