Rob Halford Ram It Down Leather Waistcoat

Ram It Down Leather Waistcoat. This history of this waistcoat is not as clear. Rob can’t recall who exactly made this for him, although once again, it will probably have been Ray Brown. The ‘Ram it Down’ album release was followed by the ‘Mercenaries Of Metal 88’ tour. Ray Brown is credited on his site as being the clothing designer for this, and other, Priest Tours. It could have been worn at the Powerhouse, Birmingham 12.06.88, when Priest played there.

(Very) old Sabbath shirt

From my 62 years old mate shirts collection. The senile fool can't remenber when he purchased it ;) I would think it's from the late seventies. Iron on transfer as they use to do back then. Quite faded but nice one though.
