Would people think I was a dick if I made a battle jacket with nothing but NWW list bands on? Y/N?

emil.y, Saturday, 14 September 2013 12:48 (ten years ago) link

If you can find an Annexus Quam patch then go for it say I.

I love the term "battle jackets."

I saw two of these in the wild at a bar last weekend. I don't remember the bands - a lot of black/death/doom metal.

Do ppl save up patches then sewed them on at once to ensure a pleasing layout or just sew as they go?

carl agatha, Saturday, 14 September 2013 13:34 (ten years ago) link

i wd buy a NWW list jacket but it shd still look like a tattered denim mess with a big centrepiece or no sale

Cap'n Save-a-Co. (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 September 2013 14:27 (ten years ago) link

big NWW patch in centre then list bands on the surround

Cap'n Save-a-Co. (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 September 2013 14:27 (ten years ago) link

Oh yeah, that was what I was thinking.

emil.y, Saturday, 14 September 2013 14:29 (ten years ago) link

But did he have a battle jacket with a Killing Joke patch?

I had a denim vest circa 1984. Motorhead patch on the back, UK Subs & Clash patches on the front. Painstakingly replicated the Killing Joke font circa FIRE DANCES across the top of the back (in white-out) and the Venom logo (swirly, Roger Dean-esque letters) somewhat crudely beneath the Motorhead patch. In retrospect, I'd give it a B-.

Saw a few at last night's show. Most memorably, a crusty old dude in a vest with a big old Cro-Mags patch on the back. Based on the style of denim he had to have made it in the late 80s.

Also told one young woman I was going to have to charge her $1 for each stud on her Discharge painted leather vest and her jaw just dropped. Took her 6 or 7 seconds to realize I was joking and not going to ask for $100+.

I just got a really nice denim jacket from the Gap in this weekend's mail. I will not be putting any patches on it.

I had an army surplus jacket with a big circle A painted on the back in white out. It was a total failure.
