I like to make patches out of worn out clothes-
I've made a bunch that aren't pictured here, and I will continue making them 😂

Hey guys, I have this denim trench coat and I'd love some tips on which patches I should add. I’m looking for some political and social commentary. As for bands, I’m going to focus mostly on underground Brazilian bands (my home country) to support our local scene. I’ve already ordered some spikes and studs to finish the pocket and put them in a few other places.

The 'PUNK' patch isn't finished yet because I'm waiting for the studs.

PS: The last two photos are just to show the fit. If this goes against the rules, I apologize—just let me know and I'll redo the post without them.

Edit: It doesn't have to be just political or social commentary, any patch or addition to the "jacket" would be greatly appreciated

i hope those guys have a good sence of humor and don't take me into court :D

Made some Bottle Cap Pins!! Going to make some more and give them out at the event tomorrow. It's a Punk for the Poor event raising money for the homeless & showcasing some local bands ☺️ I have bad social anxiety so this is going to be my way to try socialize and say hello to people.

Sewed this last summer, now it’s the bag I use for my finals, I think it turned out really cool

My everyday jacket! Bought it at spirit Halloween a couple years ago and wear it every day, it goes everywhere with me. I decided finally to add the bat wings I wanted to add for forever last month but I don't have any idea about patch/stud/spike placement. It's just awkward and I don't really wanna cover up the cool skeleton design too much. Any ideas you guys have related or not go ahead and share, feel free to share patch ideas you think would look good on it, just keep in mind I'm a minor. (Also I have sewn the right wing after taking the photso.. It's just the best photos I have of it) EDIT: oh my God sorry for accidentally posting my grandma's nasty foot in the corner of the first pic

From pop tabs and an elastic band !

I really wanted to get good at making these, and I think I finally reached a point where I can share them to other people. I’m really proud of this one :)
I do want to mention I’m not in the punk scene, more so in the posthardcore scene. But my boyfriend is in the punk scene. I wouldn’t consider myself punk, I just have a lot of views politically that lineup with punk. Anyway, I’m really proud of this cuff, and I’m definitely going to make a shit ton more. I use belts from the thrift store for my leather.

Bought this at a thrift store two months ago. Made all these patches myself!

(I didn't use an adequate paint so it's starting to come off on the one at the side. Will repaint it with paint that actually sticks soon).

I'm liking how it's looking so far, and actually the one at the side is a pocket so I use it to store small sized things.

i know i’m not punk lol but i like studs and diys just as much! anyway how would u lay them on? first photo is what i was thinking second photo is them before! should i add the studs to every strap??

They have two more patches further down the leg

I'm planning on adding more bands! Advice is pretty much appreciated ♡!​​

We are close to going live on my design, it's made and produced in my home country New Zealand. There will be different colourways with limited releases. It's made of a thicker cotton so is designed for an over shirt coat.

I designed for Multi-national sportswear companies and worked on European football uniforms for most of the last 10 years. I have a passion to create utilitarian clothing that can be worn by people who enjoy design.

The pockets are multifaceted and large to hide a phone/wallet without sacrificing the silhouette of the shirt. The over pocket is designed for style and storage.

The fit is more of a tailored slim fit.

They are not professional photos but they'll be to come.

I'm just looking for some feedback, would you wear this? Is it too much for you? Let me know what you value in a jacket/coat.

I fabric painted it again and resew in the patch and now it's just just like the day I got it -^^- <33

lots of pics with some detail shots, i’m really proud of these and how much of myself i reflect in them. yes they are sweatpants i have a nerve condition that makes most fabrics intolerable. i love them, most patches were diy or gifted!

First time posting on Reddit + my first pair of patch pants ᯣ_ᯣ

Made the shorts out of an old pair of skinny jeans, the zebra print is scraps from an old shirt, the band patches are self made ♡

Any advice or ideas on what to add?
