Making my first vest!

I am going to try and make my first vest. Does anyone here have any tips on how to make one. Oh, and about patches... where can I buy some and any cool ideas on making them? I am going to put on a picture of a vest that i got from a thrift store and maybe you guys can tell me if it would be good for a vest. the neck might be too low cut and it looks a little too cowboy for me. Anywhere i can buy another one? Keep in mind that I am skinny and width challenged.... so i don't want to look like im drowning in it.

Lol apparently I have to make another trip to the thrift store for a friend. She looked at my dickies jacket today and was like I WANT A VEST. I'm like ok give me the money and I'll make you one :D. First I have to finish my own vests but adding a third will just make it a rounded number :P
