It has a leather coat under it so the sleeves are leather. Looks a mess now but once I put black enamel on it and let a small amount of gold come through it will be gorgeous.
I wanted to see hoe much you could take a shirt apart and still hold it together. I make no claims at this items practicality ; it is held together with studs that are secured with paper backing and a glue gun. I did discover that day glow spray pain of black spandex comes out elecric green and fuzzy like a burn our velvet. It is an item for a woman but since it is stretchy and I wanted pictures of it I modeled it.
I don't wear colors or prints what with all my tattoos and all, but it is fun experimenting with color. I'm also trying things ut on clothes because they aren't as serious as canvas and I'll admit I'm a little timid to go back into the painting I once did. Clothes I can take less seriously.
Will probably paint this black so I can wear it but it was fun to paint.
Don't know if I could ever part with this huge vest. It looks amazing in person.
