SUPERKATT CUSTOM CUT

Biker vests are a very personal type of uniform to mark membership and territory, with strict rules around the content and placement of patches, and how they are handled and worn. This vest is for a gang of one: me. Patches are made and attached the same way the OG bikers did them: by hand. The mascot is my rescue cat as a crouching tiger; my personal motto fills the bottom rocker. 

 

Made from one of the first items of clothing I bought with my own earnings as a teenager. The frayed collar and faded colour are from real use.

​

​In Chinese culture, a crouching tiger is one who is underestimated and denied opportunities to reach their full potential.
