The short explanation is this: There are many jobs these days where one is obligated to wear a shirt or jacket with the word "security" emblazoned on it. I thought it would be nice to have the option to wear a version with a bit of elegance. The chain link fence motif suggests argyle. The sleeves have gold cuffs.

The longer story is this: I went to the Ozzfest several years back. I wore a yellow Patagonia windbreaker. I went by myself. Nearly everyone in the arena was wearing a black t-shirt, with the exception of a few young women I saw wearing nothing but body paint. There were a few Marilyn Manson fans dressed in obligatory goth, which seemed just a bit much in the midday San Bernadino August heat. The corpse paint was dripping down their face with the sweat, which is not a good look. But most people were wearing black t-shirts that had the names of their favorite bands on them. There was just a whole lot of "the same." Perhaps, a handful at a time in high school, they had a shimmer of rowdy indivdualism, but here, at the church of Ozz, they were dime a dozen, a mass of headbanging homogeneity. My yellow jacket had more in common with the army of security guards working the event. They, too, were wearing yellow windbreakers. So when a melee broke out while Slayer was onstage, a group of guards were dispatched to the scene up near the stage. I just scooped up my knitting and went with them. They didn't notice. I blended right in.
And that's how I got to be in the mosh pit during Slayer that year.
This was quite special, and commemorated by this sweater.
