My 3rd vest, updated yet again and this is how I wore it to Steelfest 2025 in May. And that's why there's an out of place/theme Steelfest patch. As I mentioned here: https://tshirtslayer.com/battle-jacket/forgotten-woods-vest-iii-monochro... I was going more strictly into the theme of b/w 90's/early 00's Nordic black metal and removed the rest of the patches with glitter or light borders. Consistency is now better, but we're far from perfection.
I finally got the sides patched out as well, the idea is that one is Swedish flank and the other one Finnish. I love self-imposed restrictions and handicaps.
I've also added still more spikes and studs, I actually ran out of the rounded ones. I'm planning next to add more of those, once I get them, and possibly some chains. A few patches will be replaced, the usual fine-tuning, but overall I'm very pleased with this vest.

I saw that big Forgotten Woods Patch on your Vest at Steelfest and thought "Hell yeah!"
Velkaarn
Hell yeah indeed! Hope you enjoyed the festival itself too!

This was our second time at Steelfest. We already booked an Appartment for next year. Best Festival out there
Velkaarn
Well, see you there next year then! I'm not breaking my streak, no matter what they book.

Love the consistent stitching! Whats the patch on the left next to Trelldom?
Velkaarn
Thank you! That's Sigillum Diaboli (Finland, later known as Diaboli) demo II I had made.

As I mentioned already, this one is legendary!
Velkaarn
Thanks again, it's one of my favorites too! Which makes it kind of hard to continue working on it, but of course I must!

I may have some monochrome stuff left when I’m do e with my Jacket… I’ll let you know.
Velkaarn
I'll look forward to it!
