A Red Letter Day

A couple years ago I wrote a post about how I made replica Lightning Fast VCR Repair shirts (as seen on Red Letter Media's Half In The Bag show) and gave 'em to my nephews for Xmas. I also made one for myself.

There's actually more to the story that I forgot to mention. Occasionally on the show, Mike will wear a navy blue jacket emblazoned with a Lightning Fast VCR patch. In addition to making a couple of the shirts for myself, I also made a replica of his jacket.

I had an extra patch left, so I went online and bought a men's Dickies work jacket (the same brand Mike wears). I sewed the patch onto the left breast, and viola! Instant Half In The Bag cosplay jacket!

Oddly enough I bought the jacket as a goof, but I ended up liking it quite a bit. Even though it's fairly thin, it's surprisingly warm! I've been wearing it out a lot lately as our temps drop. I highly recommend Dickies brand jackets!
