Vest start at $150 and change depending on options wanted. I will have to check on materials as well because believe it or not black 1000d is a little harder to come by than a standard OD or other normal color now a days.

I will check for black.

The vests will come out a little different than Nates though as I have beefed up some points and change bar tac stitches to get a stronger hold as well so they are improved upon vs what Nate has.

Don't bother. Nate said it was around $80, I'll just look online. Thanks though!

No problem, oh and just as a side note here.

Cost for nates vest with mulitcam is $100. I did nates for less than cost and none of my time paid for cause it was a birthday pressent. I start at $150 cause $50 is for my time. It takes me about 15 hours to sew one of those vests up correctly so that means I make $3.33 an hour for making one. I use same sew procedures as Eagle or Blackhawk gear as of now.

You can get china knock offs for cheaper but not the same quality. China made stuff normally uses low grade thread as well as only make 2 single passes (except for Guarder and G&P stuff which you will pay just as much for). I use all milspec thread and matrials, I as well do 3 single passes on all none stress points, on stress points I do 3 single passes and 3 zigzag passes to create a bar tach.

You are better off buying a knock off if its going to be black though cause I can't do black vary cheap as no one I know wants black and I would have to buy small amounts of black supplies to build. I buy all my matrials in bulk for the most part to save on cost so normal colors like Tan, OD, woodland, ACU, and multicam I can get a little cheaper and more easy.
