#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.
