My Twisted Sister tribute vest. The backpatch is based on the old vests worn by the band themselves back in the day.
Started out by bleaching the jacket as it was too dark for my liking to begin with. The last photo shows the sleeve I gut of the jacket compared to the colour after bleaching.
The backpatch is D.I.Y, made out of leather.

Thanks....I was like you..had seen the band wearing these in the eighties and always wanted one, but it wasn't until I saw yours that I decided to make one.
Your jacket is signed but which is awesome.

I'm not really a Twisted Sister fan but this is awesome!
kimo on
Thanks....It's probably my last jacket....well at least for a while because I have way too many jackets now.
How long did you bleach it for?
kimo on
I soaked it in a bucket full of bleach for about ten minutes until it was completely soaked and then took it out still covered in bleach and hung it up in the shower.
The bleach keeps on working , so I just checked it every five minutes until it got to the colour I was after....Probably about 20 minutes I suppose it took.
Then I just rinsed it really well about 3 times and then threw it in the washing machine to make sure all the bleach was off.

That is amazing!! Where did you find the backpatch set? Very cool!!
kimo on
Thanks......I made the back patch set myself out of scrap leather. I couldn't find a set like that to buy.

Nice job!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS--I would've went simpler on the front but that is just me.. a stunning and bad-ass jacket in every way. cheers buddy. this kicks ass.
kimo on
Thanks. To be honest I've been thinking about stripping the front down to a few patches. I think it will be more effective that way.

what is the name of this font?
kimo on
Sorry, can't help you with the font. I just did it all freehand based on the original design.
