Got a question about the pants. I have looked through other threads and have not found what i was seeking. I understand that at the top of the back of his pants there is an adjustment tab of some sort. Does anyone have any pictures or a link to pictures of this tab? I have looked everywhere, even freeze framing the dvd but no luck.
As Jango Wes mentions below, it is exactly like that from what I can tell. His is pretty high up on the pant, near the waist. I'll try to remember to grab a shot of how I did mine when I nip in the waist this weekend (made em a little loose in the waist).
I tried my hand at making the holster pads. Failed miserably. The super 77 glue would NOT adhere to the vinyl (can't find any leather stores over here and had to drive 20 miles to find this vinyl). It stuck foam to the inside of the vinyl just fine, but even with keeping the two halves sandwiched under heavy books, it wouldn't do it. Any recommendations on who would be the best to commission the pads?

I *think* it's like the adjustment strap on saddle pants, not 100% sure though.
What are you using vinyl for? I can see a plethora of issues you could run into depending on whether you're using it for the cover or the base. All of them boil down to vinyl being a bad idea.
I did mine by laying down a base of heavy felt. I did use super 77 and set the relief cuts, which I cut out of 6 oz veg tan leather scraps. Then I super 77-ed liberally over the whole thing and laid my lambskin (which I got for $36 in the perfect color from the fabric store down the road) over it and pushed it into the recesses with the smooth end of sharpie cap.
The final part requires sewing. The entire outside edge is bound at about 1/4" to hold it all together. Pretty easy to do. If you don't sew, it's not something you couldn't easily and cheaply get someone to do it for you.
