The start of a new project. My Perfecto and old Levi's vest with an original Venom back patch from the 80s. I still can't believe I was able to find this patch for a decent price.
Hey man. It's been a while. I'm gonna keep this one simple, a couple patches up front and a bunch of pins. I've been trying to get a hold of some old Celtic Frost and Mercyful Fate patches.
Yeah, I worded it confusingly. Got the patch for a good deal together with an old Slayer patch. The vest was pretty cheap too, and apparently it's from the 60's.
Schott store. I went in to try some stuff on for size with the intention of buying something used, but ended up getting something anyway. This was back when I didn't have as many bills to pay, haha.
oh thats why lol. Yeah I tried this perfecto (the one that you have) and they're pretty good but the thing is its only one size like this is in L not like 40 or 42. Anyway, i've found a vintage one for a good price and they're reliable. both new and vintage have something valuable. can't go wrong with vintage shops lol
Hey !! how cool! This is what my vest once looked like. It is still on there but slightly modified ;) It ran into a pair of scissors check it out hahaha
Looks great man nice start for a sweet vest

Thanks man. I plan to keep it pretty simple, a couple more patches and that should do it.

Oh man I'm looking forward to see the whole thing! Perfect! The leather is nice too 60's re-made, if i could find an original I would be happy
R.J. on
Thanks! Yeah, it's a new jacket with a 50s/60s cut. Really soft leather but still super durable, like all of Schott's stuff.
NocturnalOccultist on
Indeed but you can pay the same price as a vintage one. Where did you get it?

Yeah, it was kinda weird that this came in S, M, L, etc. but the small ended up fitting well. I'd like to pick up a vintage one eventually though.
NocturnalOccultist on
Just trade it! the new and vintage schools has the same value. The thing is, its hard to find a match.
Plague on
Which jacket type is it? Schotts does numbers like 118, 613, etc. also is it a "one star" ?
R.J. on
It's a 519, and yeah, it has the stars on the shoulders.

Damn! Definitely one of my favorites!

Nice, I see the Venom logo from this patch on your vest. Hopefully mine doesn't fall apart too soon.
