KISS Battle Vest #2 with lights!!

Recently completed my second KISS battle vest. When completing #1, I had a bunch of leftover/unique patches so I decided to put them on another vest. However, it needed to be different. While sitting in our living room in November/December looking at all the lights for Christmas, I had the idea to integrate LED’s to a KISS logo on a back patch to emulate the main stage feature during one of their concerts. Total of 77 patches. Makup patches = 44, and non-makeup patches = 15. A total of 59 LED’s hand glued into holes I punched around a KISS logo on the Love Gun backpatch. The battery pack is on the inside of the vest, just above the hip to the left. It and the lead wire are contained in a pocket that is attached by Velcro. The Velcro allows easy access to the battery pack to change batteries. The LED light system has 4 functions; (1) steady (2) flashing (3) fading (4) off. Although many do not like KISS, everyone respects the time, $, and effort that I put into it. Thanks for looking and I welcome your feedback below.

I'm not what you could call a Kiss fan but those lights and the patch with the signatures above it are actually pretty cool.

The signature patch and the Creatures of the Night bootleg patch with Vinnie Vincent (instead of Ace) were the 2 I've been searching for forever. I thought the signature patch would be perfect right in the center and above the lighting. There are actually 2 variations, a smaller and a larger version. This is the larger of them. Thanks for the feedback!!

not rechargeable, but rather 4 AA batteries. The LED's don't draw a whole lot of power so they have been lasting quite long, or since Tuesday when I got it all finished. Thanks for the compliment!!

I found the LED string lights at a local craft store. Battery operated 60 light set for about $20. Thanks for leaving the comment. Much appreciated.
