am I cool yet

still nowhere near done, but it’s coming along

Hey guys! Quick update on the jacket

I finally started sewing shit down

Some patches are still lose, but I wanted to get some opinions before going further.

Especially about the pins: do you think they work with the jacket, or are they kind of taking away from the overall look?

Still figuring out the back, so I’ll post an update once I have a more solid layout.

Would love to hear your thoughts

An update with some better photos on this project. Thank you guys for all the compliments on it. I wore it to Sound and Fury festival this past weekend and had a great time. Now onto finishing the back, which I already have the patches for.

So my back is done for the moment, leaving some space for tla few more patches and festival bands.

(the Killswitch Engage patch is not level with the bottom because the jacket is wonky in that corner for some reason)

The front is just a planned layout and nothing is stitched down yet.

First jacket, WIP, I know the stitching isn’t perfect, but I’m very proud of myself for doing it at all. I hope it inspires some other lurker (like myself) to take the jump and try this!

The only thing missing are some more festival bracelets on the one pocket and maybe some more spikes/studs. What is your opinion on the jacket? I'd love to hear some feedback

On another note if anyone’s interested in them dm me

Sorry for the shitty photos I need a new phone lol

The D-rings connecting the chain are being held on with some thread and a prayer, I’ll have to reinforce those. Not quite too sure how to do that. So if anyone else here has experience with that please let me know what the best method would be!

I had all this on a cheap blue denim jacket that sucked so I got this and moved it all over. I upgraded a few of the smaller ones I had for bigger ones that are here. My idea is to run album patches along the bottom the entire way around. I just need to figure out what exactly I want to do with the front of the thing now.

(I know there's a babymetal patch but they fucking rock and I saw them with Dethklok so yeah fuck it)

Look out be aware when the moon is high and bright anyway I’m there every shadow in the night evil in league with Satan

Now to get started on the front.

(el del Rayo McQueen es el mejor que he tenido nunca)
