iPoor

This might have to be my greatest Salvation Army find yet

I don't have an income so I usually only shop at stores that sell pre-owned clothing. From all walks of life...dead or alive. There was a moment where I got a little shiver up my spine thinking that maybe my clothing was peeled off a carcass but, I actually don't care. It gives the clothing a little edge.

Anyway, there used to be an 'E' and 'D' patch over that tooth shaped (i'll get to that later) hole. I only figured that out when I decided to ditch ED and to my surprise the previous owner had patched up burn marks and holes.

Christ.

Patch after god damn patch, nothing was sitting well. They seemed out of place and I felt it was decreasing the value of the jacket and my hopes of saving this treasure was melting, along with my face. So, I cut the hole and shaped it into a tooth and now I have created an unofficial collaboration with Nike.
