You might try http://jas-townsend.com/
They seem to have a little bit of everything, and if nothing else, you could probably find some sort of jacket that you like which you could then cut the sleeves off of, use them as arrow bags or something, and voila!
I'd still just say make your own so it looks how you really want it to, but that's just my two cents.

their stuff can be pricey, but it is very well made. I have a vest made of rough silk noil that I got from them 5 years ago that is still a dream to wear. I will have to post a pic.

I love the Ranger Coat they have, but the $1,300 price tag is a bit spendy for my budget.
Many evil things there are that your strong walls and bright swords do not stay.
You know little of the lands beyond your bounds.
Peace and freedom, do you say?
The North would have known them little but for us.

Indeed, Faolan. They vend at our local Highland Games (which is in two weeks) and I have seen that coat in person. Very much eye candy for the Ranger set, but that price is wayyyyy too much for this Ranger's budget.

If you want the best wool vest out there and don't mind being outside the ME style, I would suggest these two options. I have over 20 woolen garments and these outfitters are by far the best option.

Wool Camo

They are pricey, but will save your body temp....
I would opt for the Wool Camo option first.
