Bathory Vest VI - The Golden Shower

Thu, 27/03/2025 - 04:22

This is the 6th vest I've completed... well, as completed as these things are, I'm not pleased with the sides and will remove the four patches I put there for something better and less on-seamy - maybe just rivets, studs and shit like that. Besides the sides, I'm quite pleased with this! I managed to get it more or less done just before the Turku Saatanalle XII festival in early March and it got good feedback from my peers, other festival goers and even randoms in the bars and streets. I was also pleasantly surprised how well the cheap studs and spikes stayed on, despite all the drunken shenanigans I got to!

I'm not sure if I should take off the Whisky Bar patch when I'm not in Turku, since it's so much tied to events there. But what would I put there, it needs to be in the themed colors? I think it's going to stay.

Layout looks awesome! Caladan Brood always 5 flames!

Those two CB patches in there look particularly amazing

Thanks! I was actually hesitating a little to put two patches from the same band next to each other, but they look so good together I went for it and in the end paid off.

This is awesome!

Thanks! I'm quite happy with it too, will just need to add still more studs.

Thank you, I feel unusually satisfied with it myself!

Very nice, love the color. Sweet I patch, I have been looking for it for a while

Have you tried getting it from him? His want list isn’t too steep

I had a deal with him. He started ghosting me and never sent the patches. I asked to at least give the ownership on TSS back. No answer.

Oh man I had no ideal. Probably best to avoid him then

Yes… it’s the only bad experience I’ve had here. He still has my patches on his list. Since he never gave me the ownership of the ones he was supposed to send me, I couldn’t give him bad reviews.

Thank you, the colors are important here. Keep your eyes open, I got mine very randomly from a dude selling his old stuff away on eBay. Pretty lucky find and reasonable priced too.

Gold glitter on black is so sick looking. I’m actually working a similar project.

It's a great combo, would recommend to more people to try. I look forward seeing what you're cooking up!

Good shit man, it takes some dedication and patience to stick to a color scheme like this - great work

Velkaarn

on Sat, 29/03/2025 - 07:22

Thank you, and it sure does - I wasn't quite as patient as I wish I'd been, but it turned out looking very nice with the "revised" rules I went with!

What a majestic piece!

Thanks, appreciated! I hope to refine it a bit further later on.

Very nice vest! Have been planning a gold glitter jacket myself for a while. This is so great to see.

Thank you! Yes, it's a great combo for sure - originally, far far back to initial planning it was just going to be yellow on black, but then I noticed how much gold glitter I had accumulated and now we're here!
