This is my old denim vest. I wore it to many, many concerts, as well as on stage with Ultimatum and Once Dead from about 2002 until 2009. It's the vest I am wearing in the "Return with a Vengeance" DVD, though most of the patches had yet to be added. The green Ultimatum logo on the back is embroidered right into the denim. I still have this vest, but have since retired it and created a new vest, which I need to photograph and add to the site.
Some of these patches are pretty rare. The embroidered VENGEANCE RISING patch is probably the rarest. I have two others as well, one which I added to my new jacket, one which I have for trade. The KISS patch is a unique as it was custom made. The MORTIFICATION and DELIVERANCE patches are both from the mid-1990's and are screened patches. I now have an embroidered Mortification patch on my new vest. The ULTIMATUM patch is embroidered and was one of the early official band patches. This was a test patch as the patches they sold were green thread, rather than yellow. I love the SPINAL TAP patch.
I have removed the ANNIHILATOR patch from this vest and added it to my new vest. The others will never come off.
