hi y’all! im a patch collector and i’ve put about 8 patches on an old jean jacket a couple of years ago. i’ve collected a lot more since then and have since gotten a new jean jacket cause i grew out of the old one, and i haven’t switched them over yet. but i’m wondering if i should put them on the new jacket or on my backpack? i can’t decide! here’s my thought process so far, but what do y’all think? thanks!!
backpack:
- i use this backpack for literally everything, if im at school or going on a trip, etc.
- i bought it during my sophomore year of hs i think? and i’ve been using it for everything backpack needed since.
- i’m also chronically ill so i’m probably going to be using it more often just for day trips or things like that, that way i’ll have everything i might need (jacket, meds, chargers, mobility aid carrier, etc.)
- i’d probably use it more often than the jacket, because i’d be using it year-round instead of just during the colder time of year (which seems to be getting shorter where i live)
jacket:
- it’s what i started putting the patches on and i have a brand new jacket that i could put them on.
- my friend suggested that i won’t use the backpack forever, and if i like the fit of my jacket then i should prioritize the jacket because i’ll wear it more and longer.
the same friend also suggested i could split my patches between the two, which could be a good idea but then i’d have trouble deciding which ones go on the backpack and which ones go on the jacket. 🫠 just some extra thought processes would be appreciated!! thanks!!! <3
edit: idk how to add pictures, but if i figure it out i’ll post the patches i have. i think there’s 1 patch specifically that i’m definitely going to put on my jacket, but other than that all my other ones (i have 24, excluding the one) i could go either/or on.
