Weight - summermode 3,5 kg; wintermode 4 kg
Everything was done without any kind of mashine if anyone wonders. I used only a metric crapton of needles and thread.
I started in 2005 and am currently working my way into the guts, probably giving it at least one more layer from the inside. It is already reinforced with leather on most of the weakest parts (since the base is over 40 years old) and the rest will be done with linen and patches.
If anyone wants to see what I am working on right now send me a message though it might take some time for me to reply.
I put in one Detail Shot for some Bands that were not visible until now.

I'm super jealous of those two Bloodbath patches! Especially the 'skulls' patch on the Jack Daniels BP.
Overall a crazy and hectic vests with some top choices in metal (Elder, Tool, Finntroll, and many more)

Thanks man, I appreciate it! I bought every Bloodbath Patch available at the time in the store and since they are seemingly always limited you rarely see them elsewhere.

Oh wow, you've been wanting it for a while brother!
It's still waiting to make its journey to the US :(

I know I will receive it someday. Stay save over there!

Respekt vor der Arbeit. Aber gefallen, tut das Teil mir nicht . Dir muß es ja gefallen.
Yersinia Pestis on
Ich für meinen Teil lebe und kleide mich nicht um anderen zu gefallen. Und sicher muss das hier niemand ausser mir geil finden, auch wenn es natürlich nice ist, dass nicht alle deine Meinung teilen.

im not fan of the red thread, i think it breaks the harmony of the patches but i dig the rest of it, great job indeed!
Yersinia Pestis on
It does look better "in the flesh" - I hope at least. Thanks for the flames and the kind words nonetheless.

Was ist denn die Basis (Mantel?) des ganzen?
Yersinia Pestis on
Das ist der BW Parka den mein Vater beim Bund bekommen hat, irgendwann mal als untragbar auf dem Dachboden gelandet ist und von mir vor 14 Jahren vor den Mäusen gerettet wurde (auch wenn ich nicht ganz rechtzeitig gekommen bin...

Thank you!

Not my thing/style at all but the time and dedication put into this jacket is really something! :) Doesn't look like anything else,battle jacket wise, with the patch covered sleeves, hoodie and all but still very German in style. Nice variation among the bands and patches as well! I like the red embroidery that is here and there, is it just decoration or some kind of reinforcement?
Yersinia Pestis on
The embroidery is both decoration and reinforcement, also not quite done yet. I am aiming for a bloodvessel kinda look. Working at the reinforcement on the inside right now plus of course adding more patches and embroidery. When I am done with that Step I'll work on the surface again.
Yersinia Pestis on
Much appreciated! It is a lot of Work afterall.

The idea with the embroidery is fucking killer! Really impressive!
Metalmate on

This is cool, bet it's really fucking heavy though! You say the actual jacket is over 40 years old, what kind of jacket is it?
Yersinia Pestis on
It is about 3.5 kg as is. With the inlay for the Winter it is about 4 kg. The actual jacket was a coat my father got during his time in the german army, when he was about 18 years old (may he rest in peace).

Pretty crazy looks cool..

Upside down Summoning?
Yersinia Pestis on
Not only that one... Got one from The Cure on the Back that is upside down too (the one in the downleft corner next to the Obzen one)... When I noticed while sewing it was too late. My lazy ass said: Nah not gonna change it at this point.

What a lot of work! Well done! What is it like to wear the coat? Does it feel "stiff", like limiting your mobility in any way?
Yersinia Pestis on
Thanks! It is a bit heavy on the shoulders but does not restrict my movement more than any other long coat.
Arkturean on
Those red "vines" look great. Haven't seen anything like that before!
Yersinia Pestis on
Thanks! Stitching is a lot of work after all and it is not to everybody's taste but glad you like it.
Jonathan666 on
The amount of work you did to create this is truly impressive! Congrats for your dedication!
I'm just curious: how much does it weight? It gives me the impression of being very heavy.
Yersinia Pestis on
First things First: Thanks! In summermode it weighs about 3,5 kg and in wintermode about 4 kg.
