Oldschool S.M.F - Twisted Sister Tribute

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.

Not for sale or trade

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.

How long did you bleach it for?

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.

I just wish Twisted would come back to Australia. I saw them in 1985 so it's been a long time between drinks

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.

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's picture

Sorry, can't help you with the font. I just did it all freehand based on the original design.
