Bestial Warlust Campri leather jacket

I bought this jacket stupidly cheap on eBay UK back in 2013. The jacket was obviously used but in very good condition. I sewn some patches, added some badges and it saw a lot of action: shows, festivals, parties, countless skate sessions...

Has been my favorite jacket since ever and one of the best jackets I ever created in terms of patch layouts/bands. You can scroll down to see how it looked back then.

Around 2015 I removed some stuff, mainly the stripe on the back, the original WWI Iron Cross and one of the patches, and also decreased the number of badges. Then on 2016 I removed the backpatch and most of the badges, leaving only a patch on each sleeve. Not much after that I removed everything from the jacket. The thing was that I needed a jacket suitable for every situation, from casual to formal events. We all know there are occasions where having badges or patches isn't really helpful for the situation unless you're a brainless freak.

A few years ago I was considering on buying a jacket of the same style to keep the new one as the casual/formal jacket and to bring this Campri to his former glory. I bought a mint Jofama jacket in the same style/size that I kept untouched and then I started working on this Campri again. First I sewn the backpatch and added some badges, a few were still the same as back then. With the irruption of the pandemic I halted progress on this jacket.
I got he Motörhead shield patch some time ago but summer was comming so I didn't touched the jacket anymore until recently, when I decided to also sew the same Bathory shield on the same place and get the jacket ready for this next winter.

Now it looks very similar to how I had it back then, but a bit more minimal which fits me much better nowadays.

And this is the story of this awesome jacket. Thank you for reading!
