My life could be cheaper if I only knew how to make shoes.

(On Me: SS10 Motor Vest, Plain White Hanes undershirt, Cut Off/Rolled Up Levis, Grey Hanes Socks, Thrifted Hurache, Oliver Peoples Sunglasses, and TopMan Two Fingered Alligator Ring – a gift from a Bad Mutha.

On BadMutha: SS10 Motor Vest and whatever she had in her studio, same accessories though)

So, last year I made a Summer Tuxedo, which I basically trimmed the sleeves of a thrifted tuxedo jacket to a short sleeve length.  Well this SS10 (since it’s still kind of cold-which gives me a reason to layer-because I’m PHAT) I bring to you a Motor Vest.

This vest could be worn by itself to show your guns during the day or wear it as a second layer at night.  The fabric is of this Lightweight Grey Jersey Knit so, it’s perfect for this current Socal weather.

You may notice that it might look asymmetrical…but, it is. Short at the back and longer in the front, almost like a mullet? Anyway, it’s asymmetrical with an asymmetrical zipper.

I’m thinking of making one in lightweight denim with frayed edges.  We’ll see.

• The Process:

This took me 8 hours to complete. No, not all in one sitting…I spent 4 days (2 hours/day) working on it.  And guess what? I didn’t even have to tear anything up to use as a pattern. Say what?????? WORD.
