The Ultimate Metal Vest

I have recently bought some killer large size patches, I don't currently have a jacket or vest to put them on. So, I have decided to pursue making the ultimate metal vest. I have seen many metal vests at shows and records shops from time to time. Most metal vests look absolutely retarded! They either have way too many patches, way too many spikes, or the lay-out is messy. Being the perfectionist that I am, I will attempt to make a well designed vest that will be planned and thought out.

Lets look at some examples of metal vests gone wrong. This one below probably started out as a nice vest, but then he went crazy with the patches.


Here is another vest that went wrong, this vest below has a nice image, but the spikes make it look silly.


This next vest was almost perfect, a nice clean and smooth design that is not overloaded with patches and spikes. However, the symmetry is lost with the odd sized patches.


The vest that I am planning will have balanced symmetry on the back with no more that 4-6 patches on the front. Clean, simple but elegant while keeping a bleak darkened metal look. My vest will resemble more of a bikers vest, like the one below. Bikers are of course the originators of the metal vest, see below. No one knows this more than the NYDM guys.



Here is a photo of my old metal jacket (below), it was nice when I made it, but I want to show how metal, necro and tr00 I am by making a vest with totally sick underground necro black metal bands.


This next photo (below) is a rough idea of what I want my back patch to look like for my ultimate metal vest. I really want something unique that is artistic and well designed.


And finally I leave you with a great photo of Don Decker of Anal Blast and his ultimate metal vest. wish me well on my journey to create the ultimate metal vest. I will post photos when done.
