So honored that @metal-diy-projects has taken the time to document step by step how the KISS Tribute Battle Vest was created. If you see it out and about, please stop me to say hi!

DIY Metal Projects #6: Adding lights to your vest (AKA Kiss Tribute Jacket ‘Part 2/2’)

PART 1

Once more, this amazing tutorial was submitted by @heavymetal. Thank you for taking the time to take pictures of your amazing work! :D

The materials that you are going to need are:

1. Start with your LED lights. I have included the brand that @heavymetal used for reference and I am not sponsored by it in any way. Place the first LED light in the first hole of your backpatch and see how far the cable can reach from that point. Mark the denim where the battery box is located and turn your jacket over. Follow your markings on the other side and trace around the box. This is where you are going to place it and secure it.

Note that you should do that before stitching any patches on that side of the jacket! If you have already stitched any patches, remove them before starting, to avoid stitching over your designs.

2. Use fabric scraps/denim from the sleeves that you cut off, to make a pocket for the battery box. Take measurements and cut a piece large enough to cover the box all around.  Then, snip the edges in a shape as shown in the last picture, and cut 8 pieces of velcro as shown in the third picture. Four for each side of the pocket and four more for the vest.  Using a sewing machine (doing it by hand will just take more time), sew the velcro pieces where they belong. Use pins to secure them in place while you sew.

3. Make sure that the pocket is big enough for the battery box. Place it on the jacket and use the cover that you just made to secure it in place. Wear your jacket and jump around to see if it stays in place. It might sound silly, but this is normally how I test things I sew on my belongings. It works well with chains, plus you have a good excuse to be an idiot. Win-win. Also, turn your vest around and check whether you have sewn over any patches or not. Don’t worry about the seams being visible, you’ll cover everything up later!

4. Cover up the cable. Place the cable leading to the LED lights on your jacket and trace a straight line. Cut another piece of denim/scrap fabric at the lenght of the line, and add four pieces of velcro; Two at each side of the cable, and two more on the piece of denim. Allow some space between the velcro pieces for the cable to fit between. Sew everything in its place. After that, have fun stitching your patches on the other side of the jacket. Make sure you have removed the pockets that you made for the battery box and the cable before doing so. When you are done, place the battery box inside the pocket and the cable through the cover and see if everything fits alright. 

5. Sew every patch that you have on your jacket, except for the back patch. Find a placement that you like and pin them in place. Afterwards, grab a beer and enjoy stitching them in place. Time to think about the meaning of life, or listen to a podcast.

6. Poke a hole at the end of the cover for the cable and thread it through the hole. Turn your backpatch over and start stitcking each LED light into each hole that you made earlier on. Secure the cable with hot glue, and keep it in place with tape while the hot glue dries. Remove the tape when the glue is dry.  Don’t touch the hot glue to see if it has dried! It is going to burn your skin off! Instead, poke it with a pin or a needle to see if it has hardened.

7. Once you are done with the lights, turn your vest over and start sewing the back patch in place. Keep it where you want it to be with pins, and be careful not to stitch threw any cables by mistake!

Aaaaand you’re done! 

Great thanks to @heavymetal who provided me with photo material for this amazing project. This is a truly unique and amazing battle jacket, and I am so jealous of the end result! (I don’t really like Kiss, but who the fuck cares xD I’d wear that for sure) Actually, his battle jacket was so unique that Gene Simmons himself took pictures of it during a Meet&Greet with fans! @heavymetal had his jacket signed by the entire band as you can see in the pictures above. How fucking awesome is that?! I’d be losing my fucking mind if I had my own jacket signed by literally any of the bands that I listen to, much more if they were that impressed by my work! Kudos to the man behind this awesome DIY project! \m/
