Description

Constructed in Hamilton from calfskin recycled leather sourced at a liquidation sale of new old stock hides. Lined in synthetic satin. The Napalm Death stencil was cut by hand from leftover automotive window-tint vinyl, selvedged from a local body shop. The stencil was applied directly to the leather surface and painted using a repressurized discarded spray can filled with post-consumer acrylic paint, purchased second-hand in a mixed craft-supply lot.

Two double-sided appliqués in the form of skeletal hands—each giving the middle finger—were block-printed from hand-cut linoleum and heat-sealed to black canvas. The pair are sewn to the ends of the leather tie fasteners that secure the wrap closure. The skirt is cut and stitched to allow for adjustable fit and may be worn as a skirt or over trousers as an apron.
