where to get a vest

Metal_JamesThu, 28/06/2012 - 16:12

Where can I find a denim jacket or vest for cheap? I've been looking in the thrift stores around town and they don't have any.

Keep checking the thrift stores.
if you have any older friends/parents ask them if they have one you could have.
and I think OVER-ZONE http://www.over-zone.com/ sells them.

Good luck :D

overpriced and not worth it, imo. i'd rather just stick with the thrift stores...

IronMason on Fri, 29/06/2012 - 08:31

I agree! I got mine from salvation army for 6 bucks.
I was just giving suggestions. =D

you win lol. mine cost 18 bucks, and i thought it was a steal...

IronMason on Sun, 01/07/2012 - 15:25

18 bucks is not that bad! ;D

If you don't mind paying like $100 (shipping included) nuclear blast has some REALLY cool black ones on their site.

^THIS
I had the same problem. Although vests are not unpopular,
it's not so easy to find a decent vest imo. Got mine from Nuclear Blast.
It's a black denim vest (I got pics on my profile).
They offer a blank, black vest for 34,99 € ($42.82) + 22,00 € ($26.92) shipping to the USA.
I got it for way less money though (since I'm living in the same country^^).
...but I really thought Nuclear Blast USA offers a similar online shop over there too.

Thrift shops and yard sales are your best bet. I got mine at a yard sale for three bucks, it's big on me but the inside pockets are worth it.

target/zellers/walmart/kmart. 20 bucks

really underrated as a place for stuff, imo.

Bought mine on Ebay for 20 $ (shipping inc.)

most vests were originally long sleeve jackets , not sure what you were lookin for .. i think you would have to look far and wide to find a vest specifically nowadays

BabyEviscerator on Fri, 29/06/2012 - 02:06

If they arent in the thrift stores, or flea markets, then but a denim longsleeve jacket and cut off the sleeves!

Don't buy a brand new one! It's a waste of money! Only fucking hipsters would pay $50+ for a denim jacket. Just keep looking; Goodwill, Salvation Army, yard/garage sales, keep your eyes open and be patient it pays off! Goodluck

Blüdrayne on Fri, 29/06/2012 - 07:07

tbh to a certain extent you do pay for quality. but i agree 50 is way overpriced...

Denim jackets are in fashion i have seen (All the kids wearing them around town) I don't know if its taken off where you are but im thinking about stocking up on some cheap ones.

This goes for Spandex too. A pound for every black and white striped spandex and i would be a very happy fellow.

Found one today in a place just outside of town. It's pretty dorky looking because it has these bulky pockets and a big pouch on the back, but it was only 4$. So I'm gonna take the pockets and that stupid pouch off and dye it black. Then see how it looks.

Blüdrayne on Fri, 29/06/2012 - 18:39

hmm... could you post a pic of the pouch and pockets? sounds interesting...

Metal_James on Sat, 30/06/2012 - 06:39

I already took 'em off last night.
