This is the first kutte I made, it's heavily inspired by the bicycle chopper gang I'm in (no longer active in the rides) SCUL from Boston/Somerville MA. I used to be a beekeeper, which influenced a lot of the design. The top screenprint on the back was by a fellow pilot, Kaibosch. My pilot callsign is Piranha, listed on the front right shoulder and the tag on my colors on the back. My boyfriend at the time was Nosepicker, his callsign is sewn under the collar. Rat Patrol is another bike club in chicago. The Motörhead patch was cut from a leather cuff found on the ground in Harvard Square. There's a 3-speed hub chain sewn on the front. The patch under the Death patch used to glow in the dark. I didn't want to remove my Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band patch (I lived with some of the band members), so I sewed a Slayer patch over it. I'm not a fan of the Nazi imagery, I basically retired the vest after that. Like my other vest I posted (Second Kutte) on the tag there are kid's names crossed by who it was passed down to. I got this at the same thrift store, it could have been the same family, since the vest is similar & the same size, children's 5/6. Porno Squad was another little local bike club in Boston.
