Custom Marco Rossi

Damn, you're right. I triangulated, and it said 2,300 faces.
Might not be able to fit that vest. :/
edit:
cut it down to 2246

You could use some major optimizations everywhere. Please post some wireframe images so we can give some tips.
In any case, the vest is very feasible. Note that you can delete most triangles on his back, since they will be almost always hidden by the vest. Some parts on the inside of the vest, too. This applies for almost all hidden body parts. Take the cranium after the hair is done, stuff like that.
