If anyone has the money to spend for a jacket directly from Levi, I recommend doing it, if you get the full jacket, you can cut the sleeves off and fray the edges were the sleeves used to be, giving it a more accurate look.

Agreed! The form of the stitching on the Levis vests is very specific and gives the illusion of broader shoulders since it has a "V" shape (for us females who wanna cosplay him lol). So if y'all can invest in the trucker vest you can get a very accurate look.

really great guide and attention to detail! and for all the concerned metalheads commenting, yall know this is a cosplay/costuming channel right? this creator recreates costume pieces from media so even if a battle jacket/vest is part of metal culture, eddie himself is a fictional character,,,

The fact that you included the stitch length and width is like a rarity amongst all sewing videos on youtube. I hope you have the best day.

As someone who is a proud owner of a Battle Jacket, this is an incredible work of art and its inspiring me to make another based on the 1980s metal era!!

fuck yeah!

This was very cool. I knew so many guys for who this was a uniform back in the 80s, often the larger back patch would be safety-pinned all the way round so it could be switched out as their fave band changed (or they just didn't have a mom or gf who sewed lol)

I love how the gear I wore every day in the mid 80's is now a "costume" that people wear to cons, and events. I mean this genuinely because I thought it'd be far gone by now, lol. Mine was an Iron Maiden "Killers" back patch with more Iron Maiden pins, and a Slayer one on a Lee vest because it had wool insulated liner similar to flannel. Classic Levi's jackets didn't have a liner so the people that wore them froze their asses off without a jacket underneath, lol.

Oh they absolutely do and will for the foreseeable future, it’s Highway robbery but it’s the price we pay to look like some of our favorite characters 💀 that’s why (when I can) I enjoy going this more DIY route, plus it adds more to the cosplay imo

I finished handsewing the DIO patch onto the back this morning, and I’m literally screaming. I haven’t got all of the other patches and pins in the mail yet, but I’ll be putting those on too as soon as I get them. I’m so excited.

the only single detailed video on KZread thanks dude for homage to the legend eddie freaking munson.

As someone who is customizing their own personal jacket and hoping to make an Eddie cosplay in the future, this is such an incredible video!! The attention to detail is amazing!

Finished mine in October, been wearing it ever since. I added a couple additional patches; Corroded Coffin and Hellfire Club. Thanks so much for the tutorial!!

This is amazing! I've been working on making his jacket as well but I've been having trouble finding the Iron Maiden patch and the WASP pin, so thank you for including the links for everything!

Your channels subs is so Underrated

This channel is underrated

I don’t think this is getting the praise it deserves for being so accurate and so well done! Great job! Eddie would be proud! Quick question, what color is the Levi’s vest labeled as?

Just about half done with mine! Just added the Mercyful Fate, Accept, and Judas Priest pins!!

COOLEST THING EVER! Where'd you get the black jacket part?

Thank you for this

That's cool i might cosplay as Eddie Munson from Stranger Things soon

Too bad I gave away my patches about 7 years ago now I carry each and every one of those groups in my heart and my favorite list. 🤟🤟

I remember having a friend that had similar vest. He wore it for 10 years at least.

Beautiful vest there 🤘😎

Great work. Altough authentic battlevest patches are always sewn by hand. But i get that it's a cosplay.

Oh my gosh thanks !

Cool video. Not sure if you are aware but use light weight fusable interfacing fabric on the back of the tshirt. Fuse it then cut out then sew on to the jacket. Tshirt wont sag and it will look alot better. Btw what paint did you use for the 3d printed pin?

Could you do links to the rest of his outfit too? This is sick man

Very good cosplay tutorial!! I'm using your video as reference for my own vest. Sadly I have to pass on the wasp pin because the shipping costs are too much from the store you linked and I can't find it anywhere else. Would be 50 dollars to ship to Germany 💀

I now have everything in the video it was pretty hard to find everything, everyone must be doing this cosplay. The only thing I'm missing is the chain bracelet with the leather band on top. Would you happen to have a link to that?

So dope

Very nice job

if you want to have a real battle vest you sew each one of those on by hand while listening to the artist you are patching on or just metal in general \m/

I still have mine with a number of the beast back patch then smaller patches of venom metallica even had one that said fuck authority. Can't wear it no more but I'll never get rid of it. Good times and great memories.

FIREEE NO CAP

I like how you have to sew an Iron Maiden Eddie patch onto Eddie’s vest.

I have a giant iron maiden fear of the dark back patch on my battle vest and it feels weird seeing it so mainstream

Dang I like this

If you buy a Medium jacket should you also get a medium Dio shirt as well?

Where did you find the wasp pin

Hell, I've painted my own. Iron Maiden Number of the Beast and Purgatory album covers and a Metallica Ride the Lightning. I miss that stuff!

I just got a hellfire shirt today and I have a old Jean jacket I made into a vest so I’m going to try to see if I can cosplay him

Lol I still have my Levi 501 jacket from 1984, yes its sleeveless I cut the sleeves off in 85 after I caught my right sleeve on fire at a kegger . I'm tempted to see what people would offer for it on Ebay

Thank you! Will be attempting to make this soon.

I just finished making my own. Tons of people walk up to me wanting to know if I could make them one too.

I went to the links but they didn't mention the diameter of the Accept and Mercy Fate pins. I need to custom them because I can't order internationally, can you share the diameter? Or compare it to your coins if you can't?

I really need the rings that where on ebay. But it says on there those rings are no longer available. :(

for the dio shirt, what was the size difference between the vest to the shirt, like was the vest a large and the shirt a medium?

The patches are the hardest part to find along with that wasp badge pin any pointers the rest I got

@flash-thunder

Did you get the leather bracelet and rings? Cant find those anywhere

I have a medium denim jacket, what size shirt should I buy to perfectly fit on the back? Do I go same size (medium) or do I go small or large? I don’t want to but the wrong size shirt and find out that the design is too small or too large to fit between the hem lines. Also where did you buy the rings and leather/chain bracelet?

What size dio shirt should I get for the back? The vest is a large, so maybe a medium? Idk

I was a teen in the 80s and I approve this message... 😁

I wouldn't iron on any of the patches cause at the first sign of sweat or any heat it will just fall off, defiantly sow if you're actually planning in wearing it, especially to gigs.

It's crazy to see that maybe wearing my full maiden jacket won't look so weird now
