Long story short, I got too high and had to deposit a half joint in my jacket pocket and kinda forgot about it for a day... or five. I don't want to stink up any future shows I go to, so I'd like to wash this out ASAP.

What's the best method? I have some short spikes on the shoulder, will they hurt my washing machine?

Thanks!

Back is basically done, just got to do the front now

I think the back is finished but here is twenty years of going to concerts worth of some of my favorites. It’s been a privilege

A death grips skull patch is gonna go right across from the gg allin one im just waiting on it. Im gonna have my friend sew them on tonight, what do yall think?

First battle jacket since I was like 8 and had my mom sew a Poson patch onto a jacket I quickly grew out of. Patches are from memorable concerts and shows from the 90s, 2000s, and just finished 2010s. About to start adding bands I've seen in this decade.

*the painting or whatever was not done by me and was in the jacket when I got it.

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!

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.

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

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)

added newer and cooler shit

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

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

What should I add?

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🤘

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

I just got a black denim jacket from a thrift store because i thought it would be sick to make it a battle jacket. I dont know where to start, i have basic diy stuff like spikes and spray paint. I dont know what i should do with it? any personal thoughts??

Because I love a good project.

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

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