Heavy Metal Attire

[Frostaudn]

I have seven shirts: Insomnium, Hypocrisy, Iced Earth, Opeth, Symphony X, Iron Maiden, Firewind. Four hoodies: Insomnium, Kreator, Dark Tranquillity, Amorphis. And I got also an Insomnium wristband. Sad thing: the Dark Tranquillity is torn and the Amorphis one is getting to small for me.

I have so many shirts, a few jackets, cool looking belts, and wrist bands! I need to post some stuff up on here!

I dress more like a hardcore kid I guess, mesh shorts, hoodies, flip flops, and when I was younger camo shorts. You probably wouldn't be able to tell I was a metalhead unless you saw me constantly nodding my head around like a retard at work and heard fast distortion laden music from my headphones- or if on the street you caught me wearing one of my many band shirts.

The majority of my week I am in a suit or certainly a shirt and tie as I am working all week. When I do bother to change of an evening it's usually for sweat pants and a vest. Weekends is usually a t-shirt and jeans which aren't always metal orientated. I suppose the only give away would be my jewelry - I like my skull rings and recently picked up and eagle swooping for prey that caught my eye. I don't have a massive collection of t-shirts and to be honest don't go out of my way to "look" metal in particular. My metal credentials are covered by my music collection.

I like this outlook, because I feel that for a genre that supposedly defines itself based on rebellion and individuality, metalheads do tend to dress similarly. I might be a dead giveaway in any clothes I wear because of my long hair and beard, but I guess I would say that I look like a metalhead in a band tshirt. I tend not to follow the trends that go with various scenes though, patch jackets/vests, hats, combat boots, leather pants, leather jackets, spiked/studded arm bands, I'm pretty much always a tshirt and jeans guy. I never wear shorts, and I work in a tshirt and jeans (hoodies in winter), so really the only difference between me during the work week and on the weekend are band shirts instead of work shirts, and the only reason I don't wear band shirts to work is because I handle chemicals that ruin clothes.

It is a bit sad that basically all band shirts are black. It'd be nice if metal shirts were a little bit more pigmentally varied. Of course that can't go too far because then we'll get into deathcore territory and that won't do. Still, I think a grey or darker shades of blue, red and green could be really great-looking. I imagine the reason band shirts are black is because it's hard to see the armpit sweat stains with that color.

Re: Heavy Metal Attire My brother always buys the ones that aren't black if they're available, and there are more than you might think. I prefer black though, my work shirts and almost all of my non-metal shirts are black as well. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

I had a white Black Sabbath shirt (it was actually the first shirt I bought when I was about 14) but got rid of it because it didn't fit anymore and bought the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath shirt

I know that there's a pretty cool grey Paradise Lost shirt in the metal shop that reminded me of an Aletheian shirt i saw a while ago. I couldn't really do a proper image search... https://www.google.com/search?safe=active&hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1193&bih=559&q=aletheian+shirt&oq=aletheian+shirt&gs_l=img.3...506.3013.0.3161.15.4.0.11.0.0.121.321.3j1.4.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.img.Gn5JVUEqKH4#imgrc=nH0S6ACg61FkZM%3A%3BWM_EqKQzxyz-eM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.shaverav.com%252Fmedia%252F00%252Fa207929127455eebd08f77_s.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.shaverav.com%252Fservlet%252FDetail%253Fno%253D433%3B192%3B185

i have a blue soilwork shirt

[Idlewilde]

When I was a teenager I used to wear lots of metal stuff Now I grew old and wise and I don't have so many, except some I'm pretty attached to, like my leather jacket, my 3 Wacken t-shirts and wristbands, and 2 or 3 other t-shirts. I have also a poster from my first Helloween gig from the rabbits on the run tour :)Sweet memories!

[satan 59]

Got a few band shirts mainly Fields of the Nephilim but prized T is my limited edition Nevertanezra shirt. Got a couple of pairs of New Rock boots. Still looking for a new leather jacket but can't find what I want. Used to wear 2 bullet belts back in the 80's but not since.

[satan 59]

Dave your first post on this thread made me laugh. A DJ on Rock Radio (now Real XS and crap) said "Well bent for Trevor" on playing that track, I can never get that out of my head when I hear it and now you won't. lol Enjoy.

Re: Heavy Metal Attire

[ATTACH=CONFIG]518[/ATTACH]My new Exodus shirt!

You look awesome mate!

[Parker]

I have an Emperor tshirt that is over 10 years old. I have a couple of Buzum and Darkthrone shirts that I bought in 2002 in Norway. I now have several Burzum, Darkthrone and Bathory shirts and a few other bands such as Thorns and Morbid Angel. I have a leather jacket but I have out grown it . Have some cool boots somewhere around here. Used to have a bullet belt but that's a pain in the ass.

It really is, its in your way and heavy. And get stuck in everything

[Parker]

It really is' date=' its in your way and heavy. And get stuck in everything[/quote'] I guess bullet belts are only good for pictures. I have a bass strap that has bullets on it though, and it's not a pain in the ass.

[H34VYM3T4LD4V3]

Re: Heavy Metal Attire Hope you don't mind me asking, but how are they a pain?

[Scullicon]

Well, If youre thinking about the bullet belts. Theres only bulletshells hanging together by other metal parts, so they are uncomfortable to wear. get stuck in things. And the one i have is heavy as fck.

[Parker]

Yeah, heavy and annoying. Plus it was hard to make it the right length and it doesn't sit well on a guy with a gut.

[H34VYM3T4LD4V3]

Thanks for explaining, yeah, kind of guessed that would be the reason why, they do look cool though

[Scullicon]

Since im shaped like a stick the belt dont stay up either. So i need to have some of the bullets stuck in pockets here and there, and theres the next issue. yuo need to get something out those...
