jacket
Denim jacket made by Levis (red tab). The jacket has been decorated with the names of Heavy Metal bands and is deliberately soiled and torn; the front of the jacket has four circular badges pinned to it: one with the monogram "TS" (Twisted Sister), one with "S.M.F.F. Twisted Sister", one with "Thunders Lives" and one with "Hanoi Rocks Tour 1984"; the front is also embroidered with the logo "EZZY" and "Yes". Both sleeves are patched with differing fabrics and have been handwritten on in black ink. The reverse of the jacket is embroidered from the top with the names of seven bands: Girlschool, Motorhead, Whitesnake, Blackfoot, AC/DC, Rush, Hawkwind. Below these is stiched a fabric flag. The band names are surrounded by signatures handwritten in black ink and three fabric stars, woven with gold thread. All the band names are hand embroidered and done in the style perculiar to the individual band. The jacket is heavily torn across the back of the neck and frayed at the cuffs and collar. The waistband has also been patched. In the front pocket is a ticket to the Monsters of Rock Festival held at Donington Park in August 198-?
