Update #3 Stitching sample
Here is a stitching sample using 2 small pieces of your ties (stained). I'd use gold thread with the gold lining, green thread with the green lining, and red thread with the red lining. Also, please tell me the the following; How about putting the glasses pocket on the inside breast (upper chest)? Do you want that on the left or right? Then the coin and cell phone pockets on the inside lower vest. Again, which pocket would you like on which side? Oh and can you tell me which iphone so that I can get the correct measurements for the pocket?

Update #5 Red Vest Cut
This will give you a better idea of what the design will look like. The collar that flips back will show the red lining.

Update #8 I'm late
as usual... I feel like the white rabbit. I laid out the pockets the way you wanted (image 1.) and the left side may be too crowded. Please take a look and tell me if you want 1. or 2.

Update #9 Lining update
I had the idea to make the pockets with left over pieces of your ties and wanted to show you how the vest will look with the lining (inside and outside).
Look at the edge-detail image. As you can see it doesn't stay very fall even with ironing (caused by thick front and thin lining). I could use the same stitch and thread I used to patchwork the ties on the edge to make is flat. Would that be ok with you?

Update #10 Button Choices
I found the perfect buttons for the red vest.
There are 2 choices for the gold vest, Brown or Vine?
There are 2 choices for the green vest, Vine or Patenia?
Note I can only use the Vine buttons on one vest.
