I loved the way the vest fit, but it was dark grey and not black, so the solution became black acrylic paint. After painting it I hit it with otter wax. The debate then became what patches do I want on it??? What color should they be? My favorite band is Darkthrone so when I saw this backpatch I decided to get it and order another patch with a similar dark grey color as a experiment with color and texture.
The other patch is not here yet, so in the meantime I threw some pins on it and called it "done" but as we all know, even when a lot of us say a vest or jacket is done, we are lying to ourselves, they are a piece of art that will never be done.

The backpatch blends so well with the vest itself, very cool!!

Thank you, when I got the backpatch I also realized it seems like foam vs standard screen printing ink, further adding to the texture experimentation, I have since added two new patches and news pins to it, but I have another patch and another pin on the way, I've been sweating in this thing to really make it my vest. An updated vest picture will come at some point.

Is the vest painted with acrylic or waxed?
