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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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!"

Some of the big ones look like cut out t shirts? Could that work too? I'll be definitely making one later this year!
― Moka, Friday, 3 January 2014 08:21 (ten years ago) link
You can definitely use a t-shirt, I remember people doing this with bands that didn't have backpatches available. It's a little tricky because t-shirt fabric is stretchy, I think.
