Snip My spouse has made several of this type garment using Malden thermal stretch, before the fuzzy rubber became available, and while we were still living within driving distance of the Malden outlet. I regularly wear a vest and shorts in the spring and fall and a long sleeve with long bottom outfit in the winter when the weather is too warm for the dry suit. Similarly, she has made vest and long bottoms for our daughter for whitewater kayaking. She made her own top patterns starting with a tee shirt pattern, fitting the garment to the wearer. For bottoms, she used a windsurfer pattern by either Green Pepper or Kwick Sew, not sure which, and again fit the garment to the wearer. She is thinking of making me another shorts/vest outfit but we haven't found the fuzzy rubber fabric. Good luck.
