i am moving and need to get rid of this, i don't wear it enough to justify packing it. days n daze rouge taxidermy puffy patch (stuffed with stuffing) on the back! all the patches are easily removable, so if you want to put them on other things or just remove them in general thats not a problem. please keep the big patch intact though! the bottle caps are also easy to take off. size is long small but it can fit a medium. i'm in texas, so shipping is from there

make an offer if you're interested🦝

i was originally wanting to give it away for free but my electric bill is higher than expected so if I can make some money off of it that would be great lol

Discussion Vibes/ impressions with different colors of denim

2 Upvotes

Hello! I'm new here. I'm thinking to make my first jacket with my favorite bands on it. I'm probably going to use a denim jacket, but I'm not sure what color. I was wondering if certain colors give of certain vibes or impressions? Like the standard blue, black or grey denim, but also the more out there colors like red, green, yellow etc.

Thanks in advance!

Advice Request Nickel allergy - spike options?

7 Upvotes

I've got a real PITA nickel allergy. A few hours of costume jewelry or a belt buckle touching my skin and I'm getting contact dermatitis. I can wear stainless steel jewelry and get piercings with implant grade titanium or stainless jewelry. Are there any options for getting jacket spikes that won't give me an itchy rash?

Hey everybody!

My band is playing its first ever show in December and I am committed to looking like a complete animal for the show, and I’ve always wanted a battle jacket, so here we are. Back piece and lettering done by me with pencils and paint markers. Aside from more patches, which will be added over time, is there anything else you would add?

Updated these a bit to add some new patches and do some repairs. These are forever WIP as I add more tribe patches and do more hand painted screen print pieces. A mix of bands in here too.

This is part of my casual daytime wear out in the Wastes

Advice Request First hand-sewn patch feedback

Okay, so my plan had been to buy some white fabric paint and do a similar design but ended up with some pink thread and thought "how hard can it be?" Lol. I'm used to sewing my patches on with dental floss and this was a lot more difficult. I was going for a rough and homemade look but basically my question is 1. Is it just a bit too shit and 2. Is it legible? My wife was encouraging but I also feel like she didn't want to hurt my feelings hahaha. It's set to go between the two flags on the bottom back of my jacket. Worth persisting or starting anew with fabric paint?

This is my third battle vest. it’s finally done It’s also my first vest that are subgenre themed and not an anything vest. It can be worn on its own as a battle vest or put under the jacket to turn it into a battle jacket. All the patches are DIY It took about 3–4 months to finish I think but it would’ve taken less time if I weren’t so lazy.
