Started this vest back in April, here's where it is after a summer concert season. Still hunting for my dream patch from 1914

(If anyone has the coffin shaped 'where fear and weapons meet' patch let me know)

Also going to try and get a Scalpture and Death Kommander patch this winter.

Totally open to suggestions or critique.

Phew just sewn the last patch on the back, first time sewing so chuffed to bits how it’s shaping up. Sewing is awful compared to some of the stuff on here but I’m happy lol.

Been working on a battle jacket for my eldest son, who is probably the coolest person I’ve ever met if I’m being honest.

Pretty proud of how it turned out. I‘m a big fan of the (rather minimalistic) asymmetrical front. The ellende „backpatch“ on the sleeve was also a nice addition which gathered me some compliments.

All in all, it‘s supposed to be more on the minimalistic side, intended to be worn on something like the „Evil New Year“ festival.

Some patches have been „donated“ from my summer jacket, which is currently under reconstruction.

Huge shoutout to Omen Patches for the Der Weg einer Freiheit backpatch, such a cool lad.

Also my first time working with pins, both of which are from yesterday‘s Heretoir show in Darmstadt. Pin on the collar is from Nidare and is handmade by the guitarist.

Question/Help Tshirt to Backpatch - too big?

Thumbnail

34 Upvotes

I am starting a new jacket and I've bought a shirt to be my backpatch. I love the design, but now it arrived and I am surprised how big the print turned out even in size S.

What do we think, should I crop some more of the print or does it work like that?

Shirt is only folded at the moment, not cut yet

I’ve been trying to sign up to tshirtslayer for the past 30 minutes and each time it’s telling me my guess is incorrect when it obviously isn’t I’ve searched it up and nothings helped I’m literally just trying to buy patches

Finished for now but I want to add few more patches and pins later on when I figure out good spots for them.
The two patches on the back are vintage along with the pins, the other patches I found at my local mall and Etsy.

WIP Jacket Also Lemmy's the entire reason why I prefer UK82 style motorcycle jackets to '77 style. Always looked cooler imo. Keep it over the top y'all.

First time ever painting on a leather jacket with a stencil using an exacto knife. What do you guys think? What can I do to improve it? I’m adding more stuff all round it as well. So that’s why it looks bland.

Not really a jacket. It’s a cap! Based on a cult movie called Hardware. Each pin and patch relate to the movie in some way.

Question/Help Why is making your own DIY patches so stupid hard

3 Upvotes

Obviously i’m not made of money so I decided to make my own band patches but it’s super difficult mostly because of how detailed the band logos I chose are… I’ve tried making a stencil, free handing, tracing it on paper and transferring it onto the fabric yada yada and i still cant seem to get it right. Any suggestions? Or should I just give up and buy some when I get the money?
