Hayley Williams got this custom denim jacket as a Christmas present from her boyfriend Chad Gilbert, who owns a studded “Pop Punk’s Not Dead” jacket himself. The jacket was made by Michael Torres of Wartime Collective using patches from some of Hayley’s favorite bands.

The jacket itself is a classic Levi’s Trucker Jacket which you can buy at Urban Outfitters for $78.00. Visit studsandspikes.com for a huge selection of diy studs and tools. Hayley’s rounded conical studs are Punk English 77 Studs.

The three black bars on the back you should recognize as a symbol of Paramore’s current three-member incarnation. Hayley, Jeremy and Taylor all have matching tattoos of a rectangle with three bars, the symbol used on their Singles album cover.

On the front left (Hayley’s right) is a logo for Kid Dynamite, who Hayley’s other denim jacket also paid homage to, and on the right is Slick Shoes.  On the back is a patch from mewithoutYou with lyrics to their song “Leaf”: “However much I strut around, However loud I sing, The shining One inside me won’t say anything.”  There is an image of Black Flag singer Henry Rollins drawn by cartoonist Mitch Clem with “WWHRD?” (What Would Henry Rollins Do?). On the bottom left is the pink dove logo from the band Further Seems Forever.

If you’re going to customize your own jacket, you should of course use patches from bands you like. But since this is a blog about finding Hayley’s clothes, I tracked down all of her patches. You can get the Kid Dynamite Cat Logo patch for $1.50, Slick Shoes bear patch for $1.50, Henry Rollins patch for $1.00 or $1.75, and Further Seems Forever patch for $1.50. All of these patches are available at Interpunk, where you can find patches from loads of bands at good prices. The mewithoutYou patch is cut from their elephant t-shirt (£15.99). I believe the Paramore bars were custom made. You can cut rectangles out of black fabric or Singles Cub members can buy a Bars T-Shirt for $15.00.

Hayley Williams wore the Betsey Johnson Sailor Girl Intarsia Cardigan on Paramore’s January 2012 Alternative Press cover. This nautical striped cardigan has gold buttons and an anchor embroidered on the chest. The back features a knit design of a pin-up sailor girl. It is from Betsey Johnson’s spring 2011 collection and it’s currently sold out. Check out more photos of the cardigan:

Hayley’s good friend Dakotah Rae recently came out with a jewelry collection, and naturally Hayley has been wearing a lot of it. At top she is wearing the sterling silver “Zip It” zipper pull earrings ($49.95). There isn’t a necklace like the one Hayley is wearing, but there is a chain and velvet “Chain Reaction” bracelet ($9.95). I wouldn’t put it past Hayley to have turned the bracelet into a necklace, but who knows.

Hayley wore the Skeletons in the Closet Maxi Dress from DimePiece Designs ($48.00) at a meet and greet in August. She is wearing it under a one of a kind studded Wasted Youth WW2 Girls Vintage Jacket from Coco de Coeur ($85.00, sold out).

Back in May, I posted about the “Milk Kills” tee and silver lamé overalls that Hayley wore from designer Jeremy Scott‘s Fall/Winter 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection, but they were never made available for purchase. (If you are one of the few that can afford Jeremy Scott, see the list below for stores selling other pieces from the collection).

Now Tripp NYC, another brand that Hayley has worn a lot, are selling a pair of Silver Metallic Short Shorts for $29.50 at Hot Topic. It’s not overalls, but it’s close! The Hot Topic website has styled them similarly to Hayley, showing them worn over black tights.

Paramore and Fueled By Ramen have started selling their own version of the teal B.O.Y. tank top which Hayley wore during Paramore’s South American tour this February. They’ve done a good job of replicating all of the details of Hayley’s homemade top including the line of stitching across the front and the high-cut back.

If you aren’t familiar with “Beware Of You,” abbreviated “B.O.Y.,” it is a phrase that Hayley came up with to mean that you are your own worst enemy and that you are in control of your own success or failure (read more about the meaning here). “Beware Of You” is written three times on the back of the tank while “B.O.Y.” is written in large letters on the front. The back of the tank also features three black bars — a symbol of Paramore’s current three-member incarnation.

You can buy this tank for $25.00 in Paramore’s merch store or you can try your hands at making your own version which scissors and a Sharpie. Hayley made hers from an American Apparel Tri-Blend Racerback Tank.

Hayley Williams wears the oversized Trouble Maker T-Shirt ($35.00) from Audrey Kitching‘s Coco de Couer line in the January 2012 issue of Alternative Press. Paramore appear on the cover as the most anticipated music of 2012. The band got a 10-page spread with an interview and new photoshoot. You can see the scans here.

Hayley posted some Thanksgiving photos on her tumblr including this shot of her wearing the Lace Puff Sleeve Blouse from American Apparel ($46.00). Hayley’s looks to be white, which is not available online, but the top comes in 4 other colors.

Hayley wore a sweatshirt from Portland, ME hardcore band Cruel Hand while hanging out with New Found Glory on their Pop-Punk’s Not Dead Tour. The CH Lock Crew Neck Sweatshirt ($25.00) has a simple lock and key logo inspired by Cruel Hand’s 2010 album Lock & Key.
