If it’s a vest, does it have to have a zipper if a front closure? How about some beautiful Chinese knot “frog” closures or something similar? They would show, but be decorative.

The vest is actually for my niece. She picked out the fabric and style. It will be a medieval style I guess you would call it. It's cold and snowy where we live so she wants a zipper but it will also have decorative silver celtic style clasp closures over the front zipper.

Thanks for the youtube link, I'll give it a watch.

Sounds pretty - I love anything Celtic!
