How do you like you Vested Interest vest? I have been thinking of going up to Denton to check them out. Do they have a store front? Heard allot of good things about their vest and I need something out of the ordinary.
It is very nice. I am quite happy with it.

He (John) doesn't have a storefront, just a small office and factory right off of the street. The business is just off of the square downtown. Besides photo vests, he also manufactures parachutes. This is not a big business operation.

John seems like a real nice guy. Very eager to make you happy with his product. He will custom make the vest to fit your body measurements, and set up the vest to your needs, equipment wise. His product is top notch, and guaranteed forever, but not the lowest priced, and you will probably have to wait a month or longer to get it. When I got mine he was in the process of making up an order for the US Navy. (besides his parachute business).
If you want to go up there to see him I would recommend calling first. But if you want a really nice vest, this is the place to get it.

Nahhh you don't. Not having a camera or listing your disposal would rank at that.
