Did you try the usual places for vests? There are tonnes of vest styles, im sure there is something that would fit your needs. You could get a plate carrier with Molle attachment points and custom build it that way.

I dont want to sound negative, but building a vest is a large endevour unless you have a background in textiles, and the necessary skills and know how to put together something that will last.

It would be a shame to see a nice vest that you stitched together fall apart after a few uses because its home made. But as a project, I think this could be really fun and creative.

Edit: Why dont you give us an idea of what you are looking to design and maybe someone knows a production vest that has the design elements and features that you are looking for!
