It’s not always about the family we are born into; it’s about the tribes we become a part of! It is fascinating how connections can be found between subcultures, even when they do not share the same decade or ideals. A perfect example of this is the vest, an iconic piece of clothing that holds significant meaning not only for Bikers, Metalheads, and gang members but also for Punks.
This essay delves into the connections between these subcultures through a huge photo essay that showcases the unifying elements of denim and leather. Personally, I still wear my vest and foresee no change in the near future. The vest remains a powerful emblem of identity and belonging, bridging gaps between diverse yet interconnected communities.
