Well, it's not exactly a vest if it has sleeves on it.

Love the vests! Those are all metal!!!

dont buy backpatches from the mad patcher they dont last very long

I actually started my vest project earlier this year when I found a couple of denim jackets at a thrift store for a few bucks. A few things I learned in the process - one I hate needles, and two it is better to get the sewing done by a professional if you hate needles and want the patches to actually stay on.
I'm also trying to find a way to fray the seam a little where the sleaves were.

Thank god for grandmas!

Ha! My mom sewed all my patches on. LOL! However, in my defense, she owns an embroidery company, so she just used one of the machines.

Got a new Tourniquet & 3 Inches of Blood patch to add to the vest.

What's a good website to buy patches?

im going to ask for a denim jacket for my birthday (and tickets to see iron maiden)

Ebay.

Anyone wear a codpiece? They're pretty metal!

I'd like one with huge patches of Spinal Tap and Steel Dragon. People would know not to mess with me then

It certainly would be a profound statement. :kickbutt:

I'm sure he does.

I'm sure he doesn't and that's why I said that cause I wouldn't be stupid enough to sell it myslef.

I happened to see that my vest is on internet

Grandmas are great for patch jacket help...but its hard convincing them that your not evil when you ask them to help you out with putting your cool new suicidal tendencies patch on...I distinctly remember that occasion.

Mad patcher on myspace has TONS of really rad thrash and NWOBH patches that his company makes. He will also take on custom orders...

Mine is on hold, since the swewing came off from some patches, So I haven't time to sew them back. But I have, Accept,Mortification,Savatage,Exodus,Vengeance rising,Maiden. I still want my Metal Church,Saxon,Stryper,Armored Saint,Dark Angel,Whitesnake, Rainbow,, and DIO

My brother has a kick ass leather jacket with fringes? He has a cross on every fringe, Tonny Iommi style..

The next time I go to my parents, I have to look for my old denim and get a picture to post. I painted the entire back to look like to the cover of Aerosmith's "Draw the Line".

True to my word (11 years later), here's my old denim jacket with Aerosmith's 'Draw the Line' cover I painted on the back.

I guess this was around 1989 or '90. I think it came out pretty good.

That's a damn good job MG, nice!
