Update of my Kutte, all new patches from 2018 have been added so it is ready to start 2019!
There have been a lot of changes in nearly all parts of it, I am especially proud of my new collar. If you need older pictures for comparison see my galery.
Danke für die Flammen, ja das war eine Oberarmtasche, jetzt hält sie Gehörschutz sowie Ersatz für Selbigen bereit. Das Wappen ist das (historische und daher leider nicht mehr so gebräuchliche) Wappen meiner Heimatstadt Bottrop.
Thanks a lot man!
The pouch consists of two connected layers so that it can expand to a certain degree. The outer layer covers the other one which is simply sewn to the denim vest. Everything here hand-sewn :D (ok, except the riveted lugs on the sides)
The pouch took one evening, the whole thing... I started in 2015, worked on it everytime I could get my hands on some cool stuff, reworked larger parts of it several times... so I can just estimate some dozen good evenings with metal and the needle in my hand over the last few years
I haven't used that much rivets here but I have huge respect for those fancy stud works I have seen here, regarding the art and the craftmanship

War das Flecktarnding ne Ärmeltasche? Gute Idee und ansonsten viele ausgefallene Dinge an dem Teil! Was ist das für ein Wappen?

Most welcome mate, Wow that's epic! How long did that take? Haha yeah rivets and studs can be a pain, have used a few hundred myself.

True, they have amazing skills! I wouldn't know where to start.

"Slave to the needle" is a beautiful description for us patch addicts \m/

Thanks! I think if we had $1 everytime we said fuck when stabbing ourselves we'd have more goodies haha.
