#KORPIKLAANI

[patched-up-pants]

My main vest, and an absolute piece of shit to work on, especially the Siouxsie eyes. The base is an old waistcoat my grandpa used to wear way back, while all the handmade patches were painted on top of scrap fabric, mainly from pants and one jacket. Some newer ones got stenciled (like Nausea or Bauhaus), while the older ones were free-handed (DnD or the paw). There's even one I embroidered.

I didn't have a particular plan while making it, as such there are a bunch of unrelated topics; the usual band and political patches, as well as book, manga, and 'pop'-culture related ones. And while I am more proud of some patches (Pidżama Porno) over others (the circular one on the front), the whole project can definitely be called one hell of an achievement, or at least that's what me thinks.

My main jacket right now; comfortable, utilitarian, and looks good with almost anything. Me mum's uncle found it while thrifting and it reminded him of me, I guess, and, although it required some work on the pits, it now fits perfectly as my third of its kind. You can say a lot of bad shit about the military, and fuck me if ya shouldn't, but you gotta admit they make some quality clothes.

With this one, I didn't wanna go over the top with the number of patches like on some of my older projects, which you'll get to see in the future, so for the first couple of months it merely had the back paint, and yes, I do realize the writing is small, I'm bad at that stuff. There's some folk metal, some crust, and post-punk, even books. I don't think I'll be adding anything else, but am open to suggestions.

The fact it may not be legal to wear this only adds to the magic. To clear any potential confusion: I am not Finnish.

Fun weekend!

Post Content Warning: FLASHING LIGHTS BELOW CUT.

On friday we went to a pirate metal concert and it was wild (in the best way possible). Three bands were performing, Heidevolk, Korpiklaani, and Alestorm. The songs slapped, but there was also some WILD stuff happenin' on stage once Alestorm came out. For example: A sudden shark chase that resulted in the shark singing and headbanging along, too.

[Video ID: The band Alestorm performing "Hangover", they are on stage while stage lights flash behind them. One of the performers is wearing a large felt shark hat while headbanging and singing. On the left side there is a Grogu plush hanging from a keyboard. On the right side there are drums with a Cthulu-Skull-and-Crossbones combination.]

Not only did we have that wild stuff with the shark and the Grogu, that big yellow blob behind the performers? It's a giant inflatable rubber duck that they dragged out on stage and blew up real-time. We watched it getting blown up, as the beak was held.

It was honestly glorious. They also had a ton of cool-ass shirts for sale. I wanna go to one of these again. It was my first in-person concert. We've been to one Virtual concert before, but in-person had a totally different feeling.

Oh, on top of all this wild shit we also got a VERY amusing instruction during the song "Wenches & Mead" by Alestorm.

"Sing along, but this time - AS DOGS.", At which the entire concert and lead singer erupted with the lyrics of "Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof" continuously. I gotta go to another one of these after that kinda glorious shit.
