These pics are of John's custom leather MFP jacket. He made the pads completely by himself, and I think it turn out great.
He wanted to get the shoulder pads just right so he actually cut them out of 1/8 abs plastic sheet and heated them up
in the oven. He then molded them over a bowling ball! The pads are held on with hammered rivets. Awesome ingenuity,
John!
Here are the pads, on the bowling ball
