Looks good @EdH

Battle vest so far:

Going to get my tattoo guy to design me a larger patch to go on the back, and then I think I’ll leave it alone for a while.

I also have an 888 octopus patch but it's trickier has lots of curves.

The trick is to do much shorter stitches, and do your best to ensure that the needle goes through as close to perpendicular as possible. Then look at the other side of the fabric and make sure your next stitch is very close to the last one, and 9 times out of 10 you'll come out the other side where you wanted to. (Don't push your needle all the way through until you've checked where you're coming out.) Longer stitches and you'll end up with a cut-corners look on all those curves.

Nice work dude...I am inspired now to try to sew mine on maybe this weekend.

All said, I think it took me ~4-5 hours to do the Octopus by hand, so stick on a sitcom or something and settle in! (I had Always Sunny on.)

If you're interested, I used Gutermann thread with colour code CA 02776 (I had a lady at the hobby store pick it out for me as I'm a bit colour blind).

Love that show...my wife will be getting tattooed tomorrow so I'll have some downtime to get at it.

RESTOCK

[tody]

Let me explain...
Well...
No, I can't explain. Wasn't able to resist the restock.
I love the dirty look of the overdyed denim.

@tody never explain, never complain

[Luijim78]

good morning everyone, sorry for the inconvenience, maybe I missed it and it's somewhere, but I don't see the measurements for size XS which however is available for purchase if I'm not mistaken, is it possible to know them somehow? Thank you so much

[JamesB]

hey @Luijim78 thanks for spotting this, the size chart has now been updated.

[Luijim78]

@JamesB thanks to you my friend
