Silver Snake Vest


This used to be a leather jacket identical to Maureen's jacket. However, when used it in Summerstock's RENT, I pulled the sleeves off of it and re-sewed the edge back down. For the show, it had been hand distressed. The buttons had been scratched and dirtied, spots on the jacket had been roughed up and the whole thing had been splattered with white paint. It was wore by one of the criminals that beat up Collins.
The rest of the additions happened after show.

The snake is a tribute to my own snake, who died from an illness two days ago. It was drawn on in bright metallic silver and twists from the back left to the front right, with the tail curling from the back right to front left. The pocket flap has been painted over with a scale pattern and the 'shatter' marks are also white paint.

This item is for sale on > Ebay. Check it out.
