A few old patches, a lonely underused denim shirt, and a couple hours at the sewing machine later, the punk rock carry-on vest is complete! Every patch is a pocket. It can hold about 7-8 shirts, 2 pants, and a few pairs of socks/underwear, and more if I stuff it. Very simple to make: just cut the sleeves off a button-down shirt (I like to cut them off just outside the seams) and sew on patches, making sure to only attach the patches on 3 sides. I used a zigzag stitch and went over everything with the zigzag stitch twice, to make sure it’s strong.
Fun punk fact: If you wear this vest, homeless people will give you “the nod.”
Must be a great punk workout wearing this too.
