Thank you very much!

Overall it looks great.
Just a strange music choice to have the Beatles and the Doors on a heavy metal jacket :)

At the beginning I'd initially planned for this jacket to be a mix of classic rock and metal, but nearly all rock bands I'd had in mind were gradually replaced by metal ones lol. My next jacket is going to be exclusively metal though

Interesting choice of BP, you don’t see too many of those.

Never say a jacket is done though - in my experience it’s definitely a mistake! ;-)

Thanks! That's exactly why I chose one of my favorite Bruce Dickinson albums as my BP, I don't know of anyone else who has a Bruce BP :)

I have a second jacket in the making now so no more stud or patch work on this one, but I plan to use this jacket as my band member autograph jacket (have already had a band sign it); someday I want to have at least some of Maiden sign above the Maiden logo BP

Very nice jacket. Personally I like the diversity in genres, my next vest will be similar.

May I ask where you found the enamel Death pin?

West Coast Metalhead on Thu, 14/12/2017 - 23:06

Thank you so much! I got the pin from a bigcartel seller called rockinpins; unfortunately the pin isn't available anymore as the pins they carry are limited ones, but they have really awesome ones overall :)
