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

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!"

Some of the big ones look like cut out t shirts? Could that work too? I'll be definitely making one later this year!

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.

OMG Battle Hawaiian Shirt is a thing that needs to be a thing, please make it so.

Needs pukka shells instead of metal studs

the sodom logo on that looks like it is made up of badly-formed croissants

some typically snarky Vice commentary which should probably be ignored

nah I like the commentary even if NV was pithier upthread

Vice biting ILX ONCE AGAIN

btw the most remarkable patch on that first jacket is what appears to be "DEICIDE" written in a vaguely Comic Sans font.
