Final adjustments before I head over to New Jersey on Friday to experience live music for the first time since I saw Vader here in the Bay Area at the tail end of February of last year. Somehow found a way to further improve this heavy as hell vest with some new additions and rearrangements including a shaped Abigor patch, Profanum, The Black, new Samael & Demoncy patches, Bathory - The Return & Kroda's 2000s era logo, Grafvitnir, the old Necromantia Alpha Omega dragon seal, Negative Plane, Evilfeast, Macabre Omen, Absu's The Sun of Tiphareth, Pest, Dødheimsgard, the Dawn logo, Under a Funeral Moon and a higher quality and better looking Nastrond patch than the one I used to have. Looks better than ever. This is what my madness has given birth to and perfected and I'm more pleased than ever with the way this vest looks. I cannot wait to wear this for some live music again.

probably the most pins i've ever seen on one jacket, impressive!
Joel
Thanks! The goal was to flood the upper half of the front of this vest without causing it to look like shit, hahaha.

Honestly one of the best battle vests I've ever seen, true dedication, may I know where you got your pins from? Would like to get the Nokturnal Mortum one, thanks, and amazing high quality work!
Joel
Thank you so much! Most of the pins were custom made by merchants I looked for online and the Lunar Poetry pin was purchased from Hell's Headbangers although it looks like they're out of stock.

A truckload of killer bands on there.

Thst is the cleanest fucking sew job I've ever seen on a battle Jacket, I mean I knew my sew job is absolute shit but this really puts my sew skills to shame.

Any tips on keeping all those metal pins and buttons attached? I know the locking backs are nice for the metal pins, but what about the buttons?
Joel
Unfortunately, I don't think there's really anything you can do about the buttons except take some quick photos before you go to a show and if any of them are missing after the show, you can look for people who create custom buttons on platforms like Ebay or Etsy and provide them with the desired graphics.
