r/BattleJackets

I‘ve used almost all the good looking patches for the back, it‘s realy hard to find woven patches for the bands i like, and i don‘t really like the printes ones. I also ordered the Nocturnal patch twice…

I just started my first battle jacket and can’t decide wether I should leave the municipal waste patch as is or cut around the log and design to remove as much black as possible. Any advise?

Edit: if left as is I will put the obscura patch on top of the MW patch

He’s been saying I ought to use dental floss for realism…I chose glow in the dark thread instead.

Amazing quality, cheap shipping to the UK, would definitely buy again, guy who runs it is amazing, can’t recommend enough

Most of the patches are hand painted

So, i started here. Then I continued here.
And now here are loads of new patches and changes (also influenced by a second vest on the works).
That makes me think this first jacket won't ever be finished. And that's a good thing

I am trying to make my first battle vest, and i recently bought this Iron Maiden back patch. I think it is 20cm X 20cm. It looks fairly empty when i have it on the back, is this something that can be fixed with more patches around it? The quality also seems kinda weird, i am guessing it is a printed patch.

The jacket measurements were 45cm long and the back measures 23cm between the back seams.

My husband and I follow the Mountain Goats around on tour seeing as many shows as we can and recording live tapes of the shows. We have 13 shows planned so far this year, so I'll get plenty of use from it. All lyrics and imagery is inspired by their 2019 album In League with Dragons. The wizard/dragon back patch was taken from the playfield art from one of my favorite pinball machines, Sorcerer. There's more I want to add but I had to call it good for now since we are leaving for our next run of shows this morning.

Made with acrylic paints/fabric medium, embroidery floss, iridescent organza, E6000 adhesive, and a shit ton of rhinestones.

painted the back of my 80s leather jacket, hours and days of work and its done! decided to go with both white and red and i’m super happy with it, curious to see how it holds up though 😅

I just bought this patch cuz its my favourite dead kennedeys song, but as I was looking through this sub reddit, I saw someone say even if it's against it, a swastika is a bad idea cuz people will only see the swastika and not the text. Is this patch a bad idea or am I good?
