I picked up this oversized vintage green jacket a while ago. When I first got it, I thought it was lacking a bit of edge. The first thing I did to add some flair was write all over the sleeves with a permanent marker. I am really into the “graffiti” look right now. I then tore a few large holes in the back of the jacket and on the sleeves, and then patched the tears up with giant safety pins. The metal from the pins gives the whole look a bit of a grunge vibe and keeps the jacket from looking too uniform.
