And the street trash bitch there to keep the villain in check

Gloves are also now like, wearable!

Restitched them all and got rid of the fishing wire for the floss like the rest of the jacket, added in some stretchy denim in areas they need... I can actually stand wearing them for more than half an hour lmao.

V2 done. I finally talked myself into the one thing I said I wouldn't do because it'd be a ballache to do what I wanted to do. HEY GUESS WHAT, IT WAS. Worth it though, I can't not show my @clppng.bsky.social love. See you in London lads.

Added a couple more patches, changed stuff around. ->

Been a while. Social media annoying to keep up with.
Time to show off my new acquisition from @warmleatherette.bsky.social. Very very kindly allowed me to grab their oxblood line with custom hardware. The gunmetal just looks, sleeker than shiny silver to me. ->

yeah

And to round it off, customised my docs finally too.

Please excuse the tips, I know I need to polish them, I've been busy suffering with this whole project.

Anyway, that should cover things. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

What jacket would be complete without POCKETS.

So, grabbed jeans my fat ass/thighs ripped, cut off the pockets, here we are. The centre one is a handy dandy contraband pocket, hides snug against the back. And, the stitching of it is covered by the lower patches.

This was easily the hardest part.->

Bands...

Most of these are hand painted. Unknown Pleasures; Animals; clipping.; Cradle of Filth; Hendrix aren't.

SOAD in the Armenian flag colours, Moon Hooch, Kate Bush, Liturgy's star album, Unprocessed, Jessica Winter, my girl Dog Nonsense ->

Moving to the back side...

These two were just funny to me. Though for the shitpost I am VERY proud of my attempt at the font.

And yes, the inverted crosses at the bottom are made of reflective stuff from a high-viz. Samfety. ->

And I thought it prudent to at least highlight some of the active genocides. The fact I even *have* to specifiy the difference in zionism in judaism so blatantly is still shit, but, what can you do.

Aaaand the reason I am going to get shot in America. This is going to be a blast. ->

Enby flag made from sentimental pieces of clothing, then the rest of my identity thrown on in markers and pins.

Our own spin on Glenn Ligon's "I Am Somebody", fantastic piece and artist in general, tackling race and sexuality issues in such a neat way that strikes us. It's the typewriter.

I did forget to take a pic of it before I cut the sleeves, off, but, lmao look at that original colour. Bleach does WORK. ->

SO. This bastard has been in progress for quite a while now, but, here we are.

Battle Jacket (and matching gloves) complete. ~1250 hand pressed studs. ~150 metres of floss. This been a bit of a nightmare. Either way, here is the finished product, thread of closer looks and thoughts within. ->
