Post pics of the best/worst Battle Jackets and ILM will mark them out of 10

zounds! forsooth

pretty crusty

Would not subject my bits to that.

I wouldn't subject your bits to it either

Disappointed people stopped rating jackets out of 10.

where's noodle vague?

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

ned came across this

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

If you were to make an ILM Battlejacket what would go on it besides New Order and Taylor Swift?

Geir and Tuomas joined together like the evil conjoined babies on the original Bonded By Blood cover.

These are awesome! They're not that popular in here... It's been years since Inlast saw one (biker gang logos notwithstanding). I could really see Zara or Pull N Bear selling them and bringing them back for a season.

Would love to make my own ironic one.

Where can you get them oatches? Do people buy them or make them?

Patches*

there are shit tons of Patches on ebay..

What about the big ones in the back? Are they hand painted? If so some of these are impressive:

Idk what I was expecting when looking for battle jackets on pinterest... I ended up on a board filled with tight leather pants. Some cool jackets though:

All those big back patches, small ones, iron ons, studs, all on ebay

Couple of teenage kids with starter battle vests came into the store the other day. One of them was wearing tight zebra print pants. Other one had seriously old looking patches and I asked him if his "Bonded By Blood" patch was vintage, he got this kind of proud look on his face and said "Hell yeah!"
