One day I was sitting in my history class when I saw a painting of an early 19th century military officer. The coat he wore was navy blue wool with white lapels and brass buttons. It was beautiful! I could not contain my inspiration and it flowed out my hand and onto my history notes. These vests - or waistcoats, to some - are the result. They are cut from upcycled materials, have belted backs and epaulets. A vest isn't enough protection during travels by invisible motorcycle, so it is accessorized with a scarf, fingerless mittens and a flat cap.
