    Vest chains

    Does anyone know where i can get the chains with snaps on them to hold your vest open. My vest has been hanging in the closet too long and shrunk. My daughter said the hd place might have them but i don"t want to go there if possible.
    Thanks Tom

    Try e-bay or a mens upper end clothing shop.

              Shouldn't be that hard to find, any leather shop or place that sells vests should have them.

              Mine came from Sturgis:



              This was during Spearfish rally; I seem to recall several of us bought vest chains the same day....closet shrinkage seems to be a real problem!

                They were not the only ones ... just an example... do the search for vest chains and several will come up.
