Finally, I've finished my main vest after I rid off the previous one, cause I'm selling some patches on it during this 2 years of global pandemic. And another reason is there's no gigs or festival for more than a year, so I'm not wearing my german style vest so much. I know it's sucks, but I need to struggling and need money for my daily life.
Took me a year for collecting the patches (again), and more than 2 weeks to sew all those patches. Now I've finished again this fully patched vest, or everyone called it "German style vest".
Total 71 patches (included all the small shaped patches) from 65 different bands. No specific bands selection on this one, but mostly are thrash bands.
I also added a D.I.Y pocket inside from leftovers jeans waste, it's really usable (especially in the festival) for put something such as ticket, a pack of cigarettes, cellphone, drinks or snacks, etc.
I really satisfied with the results, but I still need to find some small patches to fill empty spot around the chest. Also, I have a plan to limit the bands selection to one patch for one band. In the next update, I'll replace some patches that the same band with another patches from different band.
Special thanks to Bonesaw for sharing the cutting patches tips, also a ton of amazing battle vests in this site which I can't mention it all.
