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.
