Deicide Dyttering

The jacket is done for now! There will be some minor changes down the line. Still missing some patches but I have to find the right ones.

But for now it's updated and ready for the pit.

Backstory, I have been wearing it since 2006,but last year I decided it was time for a makeover and I started collecting patches.

What a ride it has been, learn a lot about politics in the patch community (I had no idea )

Started by washing the jacket. It was so dirty.. But after two rounds of washing it was ready to get stripped.

I learned a lot while making the battlejacket, and will put that into the next project.

Always use a thimble, my fingers was destroyed at one point.

Make a knot where the ends of the thread and use a double thread. It made the process so much easier.

The total time used was around 158 hours. Is that loot ?

I have no idea, I build and paint scale models so I love to have control over how much time I put into the model. So I had to apply that to the jacket. ( Yes it's weird)

I have made pockets on the inside of the jacket, using some old jeans pockets.

I made a pocket for my trusted zippo lighter, a pocket for my hearing aid, I have tinnitus 24/7 and it's a nightmare.

After 100th of concerts since the early 2000s my hearing is destroyed. Used to attend concerts on a regular basis, protect your ears!

And I made a special pocket for my bottle opener, Its has a special place in my heart, got it from my father on my 18th birthday, it was a bottle opener that he bought at the Roskilde music festival in 1976. It has opened a lot of beers.!

This hobby is so addictive that I had to start a new project right away.

And again thanks for all the positive feedback I got last time I posted it as wip! I really appreciate it! It's been so fun to make my dream jacket.

Have a good one.
