Dio Le Destroyblouson

This is my own jacket which I call "Le Destroyblouson" (the Destroyjacket). This one has a history, I had it since I was 14, and because it was too large for me, I cut off the sleeves so I could wear it over a leather jacket. I was not quite a metalhead yet, but I liked the look. The American Eagle patch and the Exploited patch on the front were my first two patches. Actually, I bought the Exploited patch because it looked cool, I didn't know it was a band back then. Most of the pins as well as the Judas Priest back patch are gifts from my girlfriend (the back patch is awesome). On the breast pockets are a patch from the game Metal Gear Solid and a Latvian Red Army coat of arms (I had a period of collecting Soviet memorabilia). All of the other patches are from last year, I bought all of these and asked my girlfriend to teach me to sew. You can see the partially burnt Iron Cross from when I tried to iron it on and it didn't work out so well. DIY for beginners.

By the way, my girlfriend complains a lot about this "piece of filth": of course it has never been washed, else it wouldn't be a destroyjacket. Beer, sweat, dirt and mud collected from festivals are part of the denim now. If you look at the Smiley pin you can see some brownish stain on it. I'll tell you honestly, I woke up one morning at festival to find it like that, and to this day I still don't know what the f**k it is. But looking at the color, I guess I don't really want to know.
