Anyone working on a new vest during the quarantine?

[revolvermag @Revolvermag]

Battle jackets are heavy metal's most iconic fashion statement. @peterbestephoto traveled the world to capture some of the most badass hesher vests. https://t.co/frPu1seC7X

Portland-based #photographer @peterbestephoto's latest book, #DefendersOfTheFaith (@SacredBones), is less a photo essay and more an anthropological investigation, interrogating that staple in the #heavymetal uniform – the patched and painted battle jacket. https://t.co/txIVTf4Oub

[Sacred Bones Records @SacredBones]
