I've never actually been able to successfully do it.

Then again, I don't have a sewing machine, either. You could bring it into a tailor though I'm sure.

depends how thick the leather is and if you have a sewing awl etc

the best option is to buy needles intended for sewing leather (You'll find packs on ebay for cheap) and to use a thimble (Otherwise it will tear into your skin as it needs to be pushed pretty heavily.) I have sewn many leathers this way.

awesome, but you only have FIVE bathory patches?! ha ha
hey what's that poster behind the door? it looks like a hand or a facehugger or something?

haha,
It's just a zombie. It was the target I chose at a shooting range I went to a few years ago

hmm multiple bathory patches, zombie target shooting, do you know something we don't?

Can anyone help me find a Motorhead England backpatch? Preferable one that's a rectangle and doesn't slim down towards the bottom.

What kind of paint should I use on my leather jacket?

I don't really recommend painting without the use of an airbrush. If you are a really good painter then just use acrylic or fabric paint, but otherwise, it's not a great idea and will look sloppy as hell.

Which can be pretty cvlt though

Gonna get one of these back-patches soon and use it as the starting point for my next vest/jacket: http://store.nightgauntgraphics.com/ind ... cts_id=126

cool patch, Amebix always reminds me of cereal ha ha
http://store.nightgauntgraphics.com looks familiar, we have a user here called nightgaunt don't we?

The jean jacket I was planning to convert to a metal vest has mysteriously disappeared from my closet....

I have recently started a rough draft for my newest vest. Not really sure what back patch I want and some of these patches will be going and different ones will be added. I may or may not stud it as well.

Been lurking for a while, great thread, quite inspiring... bought a denim jacket recently and will soon be sewing on patches I've been collecting. Results will be seen here in due time...

Except that you want to 'kvlt', not cvlt. Hence heeding the advice provided above about an airbrush. haha

Hopefully the jacket I ordered will arrive this week so I can lop the sleeves off and start sewing stuff on.

Once I've got the cash I'm gonna head down to Goodwill and get a new denim vest as the one I have is too hot to wear around here. Just going to use the same patches I have though if I come up with enough I'll purchase some studs to put on it and actually put some effort into sewing this time

fucking heat! tell me about it man, if it's not boiling hot here it's still close 100% humidity so you sweat like a whore no matter what, it sucks
but at least we have some cool scenery...

i should patch out my ex army surplus german army moleskin cargo pants, hmm

One good thing about Canada, we have enough cold to have to wear more than t-shirts at most times. There are only two seasons here they say: winter and roadwork.

not winter and midwinter ha ha

If you're Québécois, you're lying to yourself, it's fucking hot right now, I'm tempted to wear my kutte shirtless, maybe!

shit yeah, you guys have been warned

I am but I'm not lying to myself -- of course it's hot, it's roadwork season! Nothing like being stuck in traffic in this heat.

these are my 2 jackets., im currently working on my leather jacket,... leather is a pain to sow though i have to get them down at a proffesional place.. Altarsingore that jacket is sick! KUDOS!

Nice work...
Finally got started on mine, just have the back patches almost done so far.

Got this patch and this pin at the show yesterday.

AWESOME PATTCCHHHH. I always wanted a RB patch....

That's my 2nd one for my new vest!!!! My other one is the purple logo on a black background.

Ahhh, the purple logo is even better. Supreme jealousy. :[

anyone here know if I can trust megapatches.com? i want to get a sons of northern darkness patch, and they have one for 6 euros, which should be around $10. but if no one here knows il just geta different patch somewhere else.

Where did you get that RB patch?

Here's my jacket, now with patches on the front! (yet to be sewn)

also got new badges ans two buttons.

Also I bough a bran new denim vest, I only have the back patch (also yet to be sewn)

I might put some stud or spikes on it, for maximum kultness

I don't think it tapers towards the bottom, but I may be wrong.

Because you are so small..! : )

I'm also curious about that website, anyone?

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!

Is it a DIY effort? I could tewtully use one, and would most definitely consider trading if you can make more... as long as our trades fit into standard letter envelopes. Too broke to mail anything bigger than that.

Didn't he say he got it at the Cauchemar gig?

Annick from Cauchemar was selling some patches, yeah. I got my first one from ebay, they're not quite rare.
