Oh, the fashion conundra you face as a metalhead. Lately, I've been working on a solution to three heavy metal fashion problems:

  1. My wardrobe cannot accomodate a band T-shirt for every band that I like.

  2. It is not possible to wear all of one's band T-shirts at once.

  3. The leather jacket that I've been wearing to most shows is a godsend in San Francisco winters, but a bit too warm for summer.



So, I'm making a patched denim jacket (also known as a "battlejacket"). Which will allow me to flaunt my fondness for at least a score of bands on a single mid-weight garment. Or out myself as a huge metal dork. Or both.

Before I started, I did a bit of searching around the internet to see how other people put their jackets together. I thought I'd put together my own post on how I did this.

This is a cool Kickstarter project that has about 33 hours left to run and a bit of a ways to go to make its funding goal. When I was a bit bigger than I am now, I used to have a hell of a time finding workout clothes that fit and were well-made, never mind cute or attractive. This is a group of plus-sized women making activewear for plus-sized women, and it looks pretty snazzy.
