I normally dislike DIY (so I guess I'll die, then), but that shit looks pretty sweet man! I especially like your jacket.

I'll probably eventually put spikes on it

Man, I want a Totalitar patch... I just haven't got a proper setup to screen print anything "properly" with photo emulsion, which I'd have to do for a hard-edged logo like theirs.

Totalitar fucking rules though. That Axegrinder patch is also really cool.

Hopefully I can help set up a screen printing area in my friends' new place this summer s a buddy of mine's been getting into it and has said he'd like to.

That looks great.

This is my second one and as of right now, it's unfinished.





I'm probably going to put studs on the back and I'm still debating on which 2 of 3 patches to sew above the pockets on the front, but once I do that and it's finished, I'll post pictures.

What patches are you thinking about putting on?

Trying to decide between Napalm Death, Dirt and Extinction Of Mankind.

awesome awesome paintings on both, what did you use for the medium?

I really like your painting on your jacket. I'm very tempted to try this myself.

I found this thread whilst searching for images of jackets as I'm finally putting mine together now. I have completed the back and working on the front. I need to buy another 12 or so patches.

I like to get things as symmetrical as I can. I also wanted to leave spaces between patches to sort of work as a border. Hopefully I will pick up the other patches I want at festivals this summer as I don't really like getting them from the internet. It feels too easy.

It feels like a collection and nobody buys a collection all in one go from the same place..

I am not a fan of painted on patches but holy shit.. those are amazing!

I posted my vest several pages ago but here it is in action. I am in the midst of working on a new one, a little less crowded and probably only one colour (white ink patches). Trying to find the perfect Incantation or Bolt Thrower back patch for it as well. Included are my patches I have for it so far. If anyone knows where I can find a wicked Incantation or Bolt Thrower back patch lemme know.





Got a Decrepitaph and Funebrarum patch to add as well.

Those are hot, uh, patches.

Is it bad that I didn't look at the patches for a long time on that first pic?

I got my Bolt Thrower patch from blackened moon records, out of Michigan. His site has been down for a while, but the guy will still sell stuff, you just have to contact him through email.

heres a pic of my Bolt Thrower patch for reference (was only about 7 or 8 bucks with shipping)

You're not the only one. Those eyes are beautiful... 'Cause that's what you were looking at, right? Right?

I made some shitty-looking patches (the Totalitar and Jobbykrust ones) from some shitty stencils I made today:



I'll have to paint in the "letter holes" on the Totalitar one, and the patches still aren't sewn down... neither is the Nuit Noire patch, I just put it in the picture because I received it today and will be putting it elsewhere on the same jacket... The orange patch isn't sewn either... not sure if I want it on or not yet (I mean, look at how ORANGE it is).

It's still not very "Metal", I know...

DIRT... I want a DIRT patch, anyway... I can't pull off a stencil of their logo though...

But really, thats a fucking sick jacket!!

Where the hell did you get a Stench of Decay patch? Looks somewhat homemade, but Stench of Decay are fucking awesome, and I'd really want a patch

uhh son

wow, amazing Vektor backpatch!! your vest looks cool as a whole too

Now that I have a camera, I'll have to post my two vests on here:

Black denim: Doom backpatch, Amebix, Nausea, Darkthrone, Toxic Holocaust and 500 studs.

Blue Denim: Discharge backpatch, Anti-Cimex, Crass, Disclose, Misery, Extreme Noise Terror and 1000 studs.

You, sir, have excellent taste. Especially digging that Avskum patch.

Well that makes me curious. Anxious to see that.

Here's my two vests, the blue denim vest is a remake, I changed the backpatch and added the Anti-Cimex patch and some more studs, all by hand, I made it about 4 years ago originally.
Black denim is newer, made it last summer.

Battle Jacket Mark 2 Version 1.5:



Battle Jacket Mark 3 Version 2.0:

Huah, beautiful pictures. Both you and the west!

You upped a picture of your attractive self, now a Pandora's box of utter male mentality shall ensue

Nah... I'm good.

Even if I weren't a raging faggot, I think I could resist the urge to make comments based on someone's physical appearance... just sayin'...

lol all these comments from the teenage boys have been really fucking annoying. ZOMG intern3t gurlz!!1

Please tell me where you got these!!!

This is my first, and so far only one. Most of the band's are fairly "mainstream" by this forums standards, but I like it all the same.

Back:



Front: Most of the patches haven't been captured very well, as my camera is somewhat crap.

The fact that certain bands are mainstream considered by a metal forum doesn't make them less interesting. That would be rather hipster.

That Iced Earth backpatch looks really nice.

Right? This thread's for showing off our fabulous sense of fashion, design and accessorizing!

I mean, that's literally what it is... I'm not complaining, haha. This is actually one of my favorite threads...

Anywho... I ordered an Electro Hippies back patch recently... stupid impulse purchase, but it was cheap and it featured one of the coolest covers ever (Play Fast Or Die)... Haven't received it yet, but I am saving up for screen printing hardware so I can do this crap myself instead from now on.

That sounds pretty cool, you don't see Electro Hippies to often.

I got some new patches recently.
Sepultura - Schizophrenia
Sodom - Persecution Mania
Bulldozer - The Final Seperation
Warfare - Metal Anarchy
Die Wasted logo

Anyone know where I can get a decent logo backpatch made? Preferably enbroidered? I want to get a "Whipstriker" logo for the top of the back of my jacket. Cheers!

Finally got around to updating my vest in time for festival season. The front is just about finished now, and I only need 3 or 4 more max for the back. It's going to be fairly minimalist, but as the jacket's really small, I don't have much choice in the matter!
Here it is anyway:

I'm getting a vest together now and it's awesome seeing all of these.

True, and I don't know why... Electro Hipsters* rule, and it looks way neat-o!:





*Modern-day tribute/"worship" band? I'm game...

The large Deicide patch reminds me of this fucking bad-ass Cryptic Slaughter patch I saw on a jacket... I'd love one of those.

It was similar to yours, but the CS logo in red...

EDIT: Here it is: http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/8092/p1010005y.jpg

Oops... just click the link. I tried to post the image, but it's fucking huge.

I got the Stench of Decay patch off ebay... Most of those patches were from the same user and cost less than $2 each... User fourhourdayprints .

My jacket looks more hipsterish every day:

Haw! No irony there though.

But this is the main thing:

Just got the AG patch today. Haven't sewed it on, but that's where it's going... Didn't expect it to be such a freakishly bright LIME green... Looked teal (my favorite color!) in the photo. Oh well.
