multiple patches of the same band is just not right.

I've only just clicked on this thread and now realise it's not a weird thread about some band called Battle Jackets

I'm sure plenty think it's a weird thread though

Obv not directed at USA me but I love these things and had a pile of them from state fairs/boardwalk games as a kid. Also feathered roach clips. Totally appropriate prizes to give to 10-year-olds.

This is blowing my mind because I remember these as a kid but never put together that they could be used for cocaine — or intended for cocaine

i recently bought a ruffed up biker leather jacket f*cked up by a polish pop star vamp.

no metal bands were involved in the chaos, so, it does not fit the criteria for this thread ...

mark e, Sunday, 15 September 2013 00:54 (ten years ago) link

no elo

mark e, Sunday, 15 September 2013 00:57 (ten years ago) link

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Sunday, 15 September 2013 00:58 (ten years ago) link

small button badge does not qualify for thread glory.

I put two and two together when I figured out the feathered things were roach clips and thanks to the Beastie Boys - "doing nose candy on the Bowie coke mirror."

carl agatha, Sunday, 15 September 2013 01:55 (ten years ago) link

yes, that thor

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Sunday, 15 September 2013 01:56 (ten years ago) link

I had my 5 year old heart set on a John Travolta coke mirror

I totally won a coke mirror at the state fair in 1985 but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. I passed up the opportunity to buy a purple rain one this summer for $5 which is a sign of something I guess. I also never new what they were for until the beastie boys line, but always knew them as roach clips and had no idea what they had to do with bugs.

Surely somebody has by now made the tuxedo t-shirt version of a battle jacket, right?

joygoat, Sunday, 15 September 2013 06:19 (ten years ago) link

I won a roach clip at my school carnival in 1st grade. Around the same time I got a Transformers coke mirror from the county fair or something.

Love the battle jacket upthread with S.O.D., Pantera, and Skynyrd. Pretty sure that's all I need to know about that dude.
