Almost practically perfect! Just a couple more patches to find amongst boxes in the loft of vintage gigs.

damn,never seen so much words on a vest...seems like a book or flyer for something

magicdaz on Sat, 23/05/2015 - 16:41

Its my life's path - I was never allowed tattoos for my job in the military - this was my substitute.

the beast on Sat, 23/05/2015 - 18:46

you were on all those tours like mob rules or stained class?

magicdaz on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 11:11

I was a very lucky guy to have seen all these bands \m/

JoeCool6972 on Mon, 25/05/2015 - 03:55

Really? I thought tattoos were MANDATORY in the military!

magicdaz on Tue, 26/05/2015 - 10:57

No mate! I wasn't allowed any identifying features.

I like the inclusion of your medal ribbons.

magicdaz on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 11:12

Cheers mate - I served 25 years in the Royal Navy, and the medals are just stuck in a drawer. So I wanted a chance to display the ribbons somewhere at least.

anotherskeleton on Sat, 23/05/2015 - 22:08

piece of art! Wish I was at that HydePark Queen concert!

magicdaz on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 11:13

It was really hot - there was a drought in England, and it very nearly didn't take place because of fire risk!

whiteravenmetal on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 00:58

this is rad, cheers!

magicdaz on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 11:13

Many thanks, friend \m/

minejumper on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 02:49

Rad tour vest, some great phrases on some of those patches haha.

magicdaz on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 11:14

Cheers - there are a couple of naughty ones hidden inside the pocket! :-)

stevenICB on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 04:30

Amazing jacket, I love the Frampton and Wishbone Ash patches

magicdaz on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 11:15

Cheers - Frampton is sooo underrated. And who DOESN'T like a bit of Ash!! ;-)

Why the Singapore patch? Also interesting to see that vintage crystal palace patch.

magicdaz on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 11:16

I was born in Singapore, so it's a little nod to my past - and I've been supporting Palace since September 1970 :-)

non-existent user on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 11:32

I'm from Singapore, so this was kinda amusing to see.
2 seasons in a row in the premiership btw. Congrats on staying for a 3rd.

magicdaz on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 11:36

Fantastic! Could be long lost brothers! I was born there in '65. And I'm just heading to Selhurst Park now for our last game against Swansea! Been a great 2 years! Last week at Liverpool was immense!

non-existent user on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 11:42

Haha, I'm half your age and asian so maybe not.
Good luck with next season. Hopefully you guys stick around for a while.
Oh and nice signing Pardew.

magicdaz on Sun, 24/05/2015 - 11:50

ha ha - cheers my friend :-)

JoeCool6972 on Mon, 25/05/2015 - 03:56

This might just be the most awesome battle vest on this site!

magicdaz on Tue, 26/05/2015 - 10:55

Hey buddy - so many thanks for the kind words - keep on rocking in the free world \m/

Nater90 on Mon, 25/05/2015 - 08:59

Great update mate, Looks amazing.

Could you pick your favorite gig / tour out of all these amazing ones?

magicdaz on Tue, 26/05/2015 - 10:59

Tough one, friend - any of the Floyd gigs over the years would be up there. My first real gig was Crosby Stills Nash and Young in London '74 so that was special - seeing the Pistols for the first time was special too.

Nater90 on Tue, 26/05/2015 - 11:02

Nice! They'd be amazing as! Sex Pistols would've been awesome! Out of the gigs you've been to I'd love to see Pink Floyd, Sex Pistols and Queen.

magicdaz on Tue, 26/05/2015 - 11:04

Queen were bad - ass before Bohemian Rhapsody. Brian May's riffs were Sabbath-esque.....check out Father to Son, Stone Cold Crazy. Saw them twice before 76, then 3 times after. Vastly underrated and overlooked in rock history.

Nater90 on Tue, 26/05/2015 - 11:10

Hell yeah, Need to get all of Queen's albums one day! Been into Queen since I was a wee lad, My Mum and Dad love em'.

magicdaz on Tue, 26/05/2015 - 11:12

Good to hear. The fact that Metallica cover one of their songs tells you everything.

Nater90 on Tue, 26/05/2015 - 11:15

Very true, They were a great inspiration to many bands and people, I myself would love to have the skills they have!

Rotten on Mon, 01/06/2015 - 15:09

Hrvat?

magicdaz on Mon, 01/06/2015 - 15:29

Ne! Radio sam Hrvatska I Bosnia I Kosovo prije šesnaest godina - NATO voijnik. Hrvatska ove je moj srce! Peace and love, man.

DraconianStark666 on Sun, 14/06/2015 - 00:31

Great old school vest, man.

magicdaz on Sun, 14/06/2015 - 00:59

Thanks, man \m/

magicdaz on Mon, 16/11/2015 - 14:50

Cheers, friend! \m/

Fozzy616 on Sun, 15/11/2015 - 20:25

Just awesome

magicdaz on Mon, 16/11/2015 - 14:53

Cheers my friend \m/

Cosmoblaze on Mon, 01/02/2016 - 09:49

Five flames. Favorite jacket!

magicdaz on Tue, 02/02/2016 - 00:48

Thanks man, appreciated \m/

Cosmoblaze on Tue, 02/02/2016 - 03:19

Love the Budgie Patches and Hawkwind too.

Out of curiosity, what's your favorite budgie album if you mind me asking?

magicdaz on Tue, 02/02/2016 - 06:44

Tough question, friend. Any with Tony Bourge, possibly In For The Kill. And yours?

Cosmoblaze on Tue, 02/02/2016 - 07:33

My decision lies either with Budgie (Self-titles Album) or Bandolier, especially their song No mountain and Napoleon Bonaparte which really pulled me into the band more. Hahaha

magicdaz on Tue, 02/02/2016 - 07:48

Niiiiice :-) Such a totally underrated band.

Cosmoblaze on Tue, 02/02/2016 - 08:32

Looking at humble pie and Ash, have you ever listened to or hear of Status Quo?

magicdaz on Tue, 02/02/2016 - 13:56

Seen them around 6 times from the 70s onwards. 'piledriver' is a great album. It's a shame they changed from that.

Cosmoblaze on Wed, 24/02/2016 - 08:41

Nice. I always enjoys their first album along with "Whatever you want" Pretty catchy.

Hopefully we get to see the next update of your jacket. I was one of those who bided on the Hawkwind patch you posted last year, but lost on it. Haha.
But honestly speaking, this craftwork inspired me to work on my classic rock vest.

magicdaz on Fri, 26/02/2016 - 01:11

Sorry about the Hawkwind patch, friend. But I'm happy you're now inspired to work on your vest! \m/

Metalmate on Tue, 02/02/2016 - 09:40

OMG It's like the godfather of battle jackets. I feel so underaged hahaha I sincerely love it!

magicdaz on Tue, 02/02/2016 - 13:57

Kind words, thank you brother! Needs an updated photo, as slightly different from that last one \m/

octavedocteur on Fri, 26/02/2016 - 14:20

A mighty fine piece of work

magicdaz on Sat, 27/02/2016 - 06:31

Cheers friend. Appreciated. \m/

Cosmoblaze on Mon, 17/06/2019 - 23:33

Sick update man! Didn't know MC5 had a reunion!!

magicdaz on Wed, 26/02/2020 - 00:21

Thanks, brother. Wayne Kramer was on fire.

RuhrpottKomplott on Mon, 24/02/2020 - 18:01

Definitely a vest that speaks volumes of the man who wears it! Heaps of character and then some

magicdaz on Wed, 26/02/2020 - 00:22

Thank you my friend. Keep on rocking.

Janakin on Sat, 02/07/2022 - 15:24

Neil Young, Jethro Tull, BÖC, Uriah Heep - some really awesome stuff!!!

Janakin on Sat, 02/07/2022 - 15:25

Camel, Pink Floyd, Queen... OMG, I just keep discovering more and more awesome patches on this masterpiece!

magicdaz on Sun, 03/07/2022 - 11:56

Ah man, thank you. Adding another few shortly! Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd etc. Keep it loud. 🤘☮️
