Collectors Group : "German-Style" - Kutten
This group accepts:
- Battle Jacket
Shapes, Overlapping and no more denim!
Only Kutten / Vests / Battle-jackets completely covered in Patches!
This group is for all the maniacs that wanna sew this style or already have "finished" their project... Which is a lie!
Get inspired!

Yeah, it's a full blown cycle (whether you call it a vicious circle or a benign circle is up to you):
1) "Hell yeah, I've crafted perfection. I'm never gonna change a damn thing about my kutte ever again."
2) "Those are some nice German style vests being posted on TSS. Maybe I can take some inspiration from them."
3) "I guess I could change some patches here and there. Also, there'll be some changes in bands to reflect my changing musical taste."
4) "Fuck it, gonna take that whole thing down and start anew. If you wish to create, you first need to destroy."
On a side note, the first time I completely redid my 90+ patches vest, my wife looked at me in utter disbelief and tried to discourage me. Nowadays, she's more like "please try to avoid doing a complete overhaul of your kutte more than twice a year"

Im definitly guilty of point nr 2 to my new pösör vest as I call it and point nr 3 of my festival vest
Twice per year, man you got some spare time in your life don't ya ;)

Got a couple hours to burn before I go to sleep every night and those add up. Also, sewing and planning won't take as long with each consecutive redo. I think my last iteration took a little more than a month to complete.

Practice makes perfect but obsession makes better ;)

The description is spot on, expecially the last part.
Can't wait to redo mine again once I got all the necessary new patches :)

Redo? Completely???
Hliðskialf on
Absolutely. I already have a new backpatch lined up that I like even more than the current one.
Plus I need to have the endless possibilities of a blank canvas when I start ;)
Kofuv6 on
why don't you just make a new one then?
Hliðskialf on
Because the denim itself has been infused with so many great memories. And I refuse to have more than one main vest.
Kofuv6 on
Gotcha, totally understandable, let me know if you are gonna sell your Cemetary patch in the future ;)
Hliðskialf on
I doubt that's gonna happen but I'll let you know if I ever come across another one. Green or black border?
Kofuv6 on
Either one works, have been looking for one for a while (5-6 months)
Thank you :)

I got mine from GhoulesMetalProducts666 back in the day. The prices are somewhat high but there is a vast supply of both vintage and bootleg gems. You may wish to regularly check there as there will sometimes restock on patches that were previously sold out. Also, if I remember correctly, it's based in Mexico so I don't know if they'll ship to Sweden at the moment (they don't ship to Germany and Austria as of now).

I check there from time to time and have bought some patches from them as well but as you said, it was a while ago and im aware that the patch is old and not the easiest one to find, They still ship to Sweden so no worries about that
