Helloween Colour Trial Vest

Seth SlaterSun, 07/05/2023 - 06:53

Finally put together a vest with some of my favorite patches! The vast majority of the patches are colour trial/sample patches that never went official along with a few other rare gems.

Looks nice

Seth Slater on Sun, 07/05/2023 - 22:05

Thank you

Oh boy oh boy, WOW! Love it the overall, old school, layout and choice of patches 🤘😄🤘 Did you have those color trail/misprinted patches backed and bordered? I though you had them without backs and borders, or did you manage to find complete versions? They do look great.
You can wear this jacket with a lot of pride mate 🤘😄🤘

Most of the patches were unfinished so I had the proper border and backing put on so I could use them. I'm happy with how they turned out and now I get to wear a pretty unique vest with some patches you don't see every day!

Wow, definitely an instant favorite, very nice.

Seth Slater on Sun, 07/05/2023 - 17:35

Thank you sir!

I looove the looks of this vest, and also band-wise this wold be an easy 5/5 flames. But the three same Metallica patches just don't do it for me, sorry!

Seth Slater on Sun, 07/05/2023 - 18:48

No worries man! I hope to faze out some of the repeat bands when I get my hands on more colour trial patches. I have a square Saxon Destiny patch on the way where the S symbol is in blue glitter that I hope to use.

This is a brilliant idea! Really great project with such an interesting theme. The pinkish So Far So Good... is a real killer!

Seth Slater on Mon, 08/05/2023 - 00:09

Thank you! It's my favorite patch of all time. Haven't seen another one like it yet!

Lex_Metal on Mon, 08/05/2023 - 03:51

Amazing vest!! 🤘🏼

Seth Slater on Mon, 08/05/2023 - 04:11

Thanks!!

There they are, the TBDM Nocturnal pins! Sweet vest man!

Seth Slater on Mon, 08/05/2023 - 04:12

They're a great set of pins!

DeathDragon on Mon, 08/05/2023 - 17:33

That is the best I've seen, loving the Helloween especially.

Seth Slater on Mon, 08/05/2023 - 17:42

Thank you, and welcome to Tshirtslayer!

HELLHAMMERED on Mon, 08/05/2023 - 21:04

Like others said I don’t love the doubling of designs (even though they’re somewhat different) but that pink SFSGSW is GORGEOUS

Seth Slater on Mon, 08/05/2023 - 22:42

Thanks for the feedback, I've always loved your vests! And that patch is easily my favorite for its colour scheme and all-round uniqueness!

bad_american1992 on Mon, 08/05/2023 - 23:03

I really dig seeing the color variants side by side with the "normal" versions, really cool idea and only possile with such a fantastic collection. Hope you can find more rarities to stitch on this!

Wow! Another yellow Somewhere In Time patch!

Seth Slater on Thu, 16/10/2025 - 12:44

There's not many of those sample patches around!

I think with yours I’ve only seen 3 of these finished patches with borders on here on TSS. I have one as well.

Seth Slater on Thu, 16/10/2025 - 17:19

Truth be told, mine was without border and backing. I had a border put on so I could use the patch. Yours remains only 1 of 2 known to our existence ;)
