Steps

  1. Go to a thrift shop or a used clothing store. You'll definitely find an old camo army jacket, a black blazer, or any other plain coat/jacket you want.
  2. Get some stuff- needles, string, studs, patches, fabric paint, one of those five dollar wallet chains, or any other stuff you want to put on your jacket.
  3. Decorate! Use the fabric paint to write political statements on the back (something like Free Cuba, Animal Rights Rock etc). Sewing machines are useful if you have one. Put patches of your favorite bands on the jacket. Get a key chain, and hook it on one of the lower pockets if you have an army jacket, and get the chain, hook one end to it, and then put your wallet with the chain connected to it in the upper pocket on the same side. Be creative!
  4. Sew zippers on at random places. Wear lots of cool pins/buttons. Add studs on the collar.

Tips

  • Be creative!
  • Google old 70's bands - and listen to the music of the day - get a feel for the culture / time you are trying to revive.No one likes a poser.

Warnings

  • Don't overdo it by putting fifty zippers and chains on your jacket. People will call you a poser.
  • Don't paint slogans or wear buttons about issues you have no knowledge of - Punk is about fighting the power - not looking cool - Find a cause and promote it!
