I have been working on this vest project for some time. The vest was a green, Aeropostale jacket that has been altered into a DIY battle vest/ punk vest. It is a size large vest; it is 30 inches tall and 22 inches wide while lying on a flat surface. The vest's color has been altered with a drip pattern which changed parts of the vest's material a light pink. Cone spikes adorn the shoulder seams of the vest and are screw backed; two chains hang from one of the shoulders and are easily removable for cleaning/ washing. The vest has several hand-made and painted patches, as well as a few iron-on patches sewn into the vest; none of the patches sewn on to the vest interfere with the pockets. There are a few hand-made bottle cap pins on the vest as well as band buttons. There is a big patch on the back that is tarot card inspired featuring a plague theme. Much of the vest became MCR Danger Days themed due to some of the patches relating to the album.

So what happens when art and devotion collides? You get battle jackets and battle vests. I have three different ones, because I collect band patches and can never stop my elf from sewing them on to something. I also can never get enough of looking at vests made by other people. To me, battle jackets […]
