is there a hummel-figure battle jacket out in the world? if not, there should be

A what?

hummel figurines, little ceramic collectibles that weird people have thousands of

I like the one with the Winter and Asphyx patches, extra points for black/white/red color scheme and Nihilist patch. So like 10++.

Disappointed people stopped rating jackets out of 10.

Sean Wayne you must have had one of these

I must?

I'm too lazy, those things are a lot of work. I got a few patches on a jacket, but nothing like that..

awww I thought you may have one growing up as a teenage metalhead

Weird that only one ilxor has ever had one of these.

I had a denim jacket with patches growing up and was intending to do the vest over leather jacket thing, then I got a leather jacket and realized I didn't really want to wait to break it in and traded it for a guitar. I had a Venom - From Hell to the Unknown backpatch and various thrash metal patches on it (Big 4 bands, which were easiest to get, and Venom's Legions and Carcass patches because I loved Carcass like crazy).

Denim was probably acid washed btw. It was the eighties!

No pics?

Oops. No, sorry. Was never much for taking photos, but I'll ask my mom if she's got any of my metal/awkward hair years.

haha that would be great

OU sell a bunch of these, I saw some a few weeks ago. would've posted a link here but barely had time to be on ILX for about a fortnight

I want that Jodeci patch.

That "spirit of 77' 'Gob on You' beauty is a 10

As is the' Wasted Again' Flag number - both have an excellent shade of denim.' Gob On You's studs are particularly fetching

"the current fashion-obsessed Facebook generation twats..."

lol I'm not sure this is a generational issue, but ok Mr. 40-year-old-punk-rocker, hate on...

lol Mansun

when I think of Anarchy the first thing that comes to my mind is Enya.

i'm having more of a problem with the sleeves on that jacket than the backpatch

and the backpatch is horrible so

I feel like he's going to turn around and it'll be Tricky as a bad guy in Johnny Mnemonic II.

nice color quadrants

Was going to start making my two and a half year old one recently with all of the patches I get in the post. I'm not sure if he'll get grief in his nursery for being hipster metal because of the Southern Lord patches though.

this guy needs to broaden his horizons
