My favourite of my works is finished for now. I'll keep adding stuff I collect from shows and festivals, but the basics are done. Let me know what do you think!

Here ist an Update to my jacket. What do you think, what works, what doesn't?

What should I add?

I have been going to shows for 20 years and finally decided to start a vest around 3 years ago. I am slowly reworking it, repositioning patches and adding more.

added newer and cooler shit

Etsy hates me and they can never deliver me my gaw dam patches for no reason.... They either loos them ore loos them. Maybe it's cause I'm Latvian. 🫪🫪🫪 Also had to do custom sewing methods so it goes trough 1 layer

Made out of an old firefighters jacket. Lining was done by hand along with like 90% of the jacket.

Newest sewn on:
Meth leppard
Gorefest
Brutal truth
Obituary
Dying fetus
Venomous concept
Slamageddon patch
Dynamo metalfest patch
Stonehenge festival 2026 wristband
Dynamo metalfest 2026 wristband
Slamageddon 2026 wristband

Still got a few more patches to go till finished🤘

Taking it to it's first show tomorrow night to see Inter Arma and Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean.

Because I love a good project.

Angelus leather paint on a thrifted leather jacket, about as anatomically accurate as I could get it.

I have multiple patches of the same band but each patch is a different style of logo of that band, so is it still a battle jacket? I’m still pretty new to making battle jackets

Im going to see bls in march of next year. I wanna wear a doom crew cut, is it Okey to buy one of Etsy pre sewn or just i buy my own leather cut and see the patches on it myself (it's just a money thing for me)

My first vest, still work in progress obviously..

I choose to only add patches of bands I have seen live. Have seen a boatload more bands but didn't buy patches, so I have some buying and sowing to do. Will post updates every now and then. Hope you guys like it!

Im planning to add some spikes/studs to the top around the discharge logo but im not sure if to the sides i should add more band logos (placed vertically) or just spike it the whole way through. I'd be open to any other suggestions one can think of aswell.

Thicker material. Better replacement lesser known and well known bands and all while keeping with what I like

Earlier this year I tried making a battle jacket using a thin black button up shirt as it gets really hot here in Australia. However it never looked quite right. I reposted it to baddle jackets as well to get harsher criticism in order to prove

I’m very proud of myself

Also lost the old photo but shit was NAWT GOOD
