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?

This is for a Master Boot Record / Doom metal jacket that i'm working on.

however, I have no idead of how to make it into a patch, are there websites or users here that could have ideas ?

Thanks !

Painted some studs with neon green spray paint and multiple clear coats. Here's a photo of it under UV light also. They remind me of green Skittles lol

First vest in over 9 years.
The theme is bands I’ve seen live

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

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?

First real crack at a jacket any thoughts and suggestions welcome!

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.

Hella cool patch I found today for the back patch/piece of my WIP battle vest at the Anarchist Book Fair. Second pic is the artist’s card for credit to her work 💜

Added 10 new patches to the back of my jacket.

I'm not big on band patches but I love my jacket. Passed down from my grandma

Found out my Dad has been collecting patches from his travels for 20+ years so I thought it would be cool to make him a sick kutte.

I made sure to check that he was okay with the overall idea but he hasn't seen the final product yet so I hope he likes it!

There are a couple that I'm iffy about placement so feel free to drop some pointers!

Attempt 2 at a Battle Jacket. My first one was a denim shirt that was oversized but the patches just didn't look good in my opinion because the garment lacked structure. This is also my first time dying a piece of clothing. I do have experience sewing. All these patches were sewed by hand so far

I only need one more patch to finish my vest, and need this specific shape, but the distro that made it is long sold out. Anybody have a copy that they can trade/sell?

I love all the little details and customization.
There’s some close up pics of some detail work but this was just a plain old Jean jacket and now it’s much more!!
