This is PURE VANITY lol but I haven't had a proper denim "battle" vest since I was an Undergrad. I recently found a black jean vest my size at the thrift store, and I want to bedazzle it, but not go overboard. I kinda grew out of the battle jacket/vest phase by 25, but there are OG Punks in Buffalo in their 60s/70s who still rock them, so why not? It would only really be worn to shows and car meets.

Here is what I am thinking:

FRONT:

-"Big Dog" (current Buffalo Oi! band) patch, left breast

-Pre-1998 Volvocars logo patch, right breast

-Wipers patch, bottom right stomach area

-Four small-sized buttons (rotating) on both front pocket flaps

REAR:

-Either a Faith/Void backpatch (like my avatar) or a Camera Silens backpatch

-SEPTA logo patch above the backpatch

-Bottom rocker patch that says "Buffalo vs. The Universe" in biker font

I thought about also adding some spikes/studs, but felt that would be too High School. Thoughts from my fellow burbians?
 
Lots of alpha in high-vis these days. Do one of those adversarial patterns like ye old warships in clear paint that'll look cool under direct light.
