… and so it happened that my wife Mercedes would like to visit the local second-hand store. Strolling along I found a good looking leather vest. Right size and really cheap, only three euro’s. Next step was a search on Ebay for some Grateful Dead patches. I found four smaller ones in the UK, Germany and US. For the back I found a real big Cyclops Skull 1977 tour patch from a seller from Singapor! Within a week all patches arrived and I went to see the local Armenian shoemaker. He could do the job even within an hour. But it costed dearly; 30 euro’s! But hey, are you a big Dead Head or not… So now i’m really proud of my custom made vest, looking a bit like PigPen. If I only could afford a nice Harley too….
