Back in the day, the one thing that punks and metal heads could not leave home without was their leather jacket, and now, it’s the almighty vest. I know that for me, making my vest was almost a mediative process; it mellows me out to carefully stud and sew patches on my own garment. Creating a DIY piece of clothing is something that has brought my wife and I closer – she has told me many times that the fact that I love to sew is one of the reasons she knew I was the one! I get such a huge kick out of other people’s vests, because many times they are an extension of the wearer’s personality. These garments are also things that make you a part of an underground tribe of like-minded humans. So today, CVLT Nation would like to celebrate the vest by making No Gods-No Shirts-Just Vest our tumblr of the week. This tumblr is cool on so many levels, one thing is the fact that it gives the creators of some kick-ass vests a forum to share their work and at the same to have a sense of humor! I must say, it’s pretty rad because I know there are some CVLT Nation readers representing! So after the jump, bow to the altar of No Gods-No Shirts-Just Vest and check out a gallery we put together.

ok I guess I’ll make a better point but it’s relative to what I’ve seen over the years.Most people as they get older lose touch with the fashion and ideas of both punk and metal.I’ve loved this stuff since I was 14-15 and I’m now 38.Anyhow personally I made a choice not to be so fashion conscious after a while however if I were to burn all of my black clothing it would leave me with next to nothing to wear.I liked visiting the blog and I see it’s merits so if this was taken out of context it wasn’t my intention.

If that little kid is still into metal/punk for more than 1 year I’d say we got a winner on our hands.

I enjoyed looking at the ladies but my money say’s most of these people will be over metal/punk rock in the next 5-10 years.

Most of the punks I know/know of have been it for more than 5 years already.
I myself have been a crustpunk for 7 years, and still not changed nor planning to.
It’s more than looks.
