Major update! Still a bit of work left yet but couldn't wait to post. After moving to Chicago and failing to find a job, I had to sell all of my vintage patches and almost every vest I had to survive. After finally stabilizing, I've spent a good chunk of time dedicated to recollecting the patches I once had to finish the Vulture vest I started many years ago.
This project was always meant as a dedication to the bands that really got me into metal as a kid. I remember discovering TSS around 2014-15, and just being in awe of the cool vintage thrash patches, but being in HS working part time, couldn't really afford them. It was exciting to go back and collect these as a kid. However, I didn't want this to just be another 80's vest. I wanted to promote a lot of the newer bands that re-ignited my love for speed. I really do consider Vulture, Stalker, and Sphinx to be the greatest speed / thrash of the new era!
Big thanks to the users RottingChris, Music4u, BornbyevilThread, TheSlayers Slayer, _Ashes.against.the.grain_, KoolG71, Uberevils, and ladypower5! I am beyond grateful for your help and reliability.
Right now, I'm primarily focused on finding the vintage Dark Angel logo to go above the protector patch, and then the red Overkill Under th Influence patch to go above Megadeth.
I also did finally find the OG bootleg atheist patch with the yellow border so I'll be swapping out the black bordered one. After that, I'll just be filling in the remaining side spaces.
(I may move the Wraith logo, not a big fan of how it suffocates so much of the Antichrist patch).
